10 Things I Hate About You Page #22

MICHAEL rocks. Very hip.

MANDELLA:

You think?

MICHAEL:

Oh yeah.

She looks at him suspiciously

MANDELLA:

Who could refrain that had a heart to

love and in that heart, courage to make

' B love known?

Michael thinks for a minute.

MICHAEL:

Macbeth, right?

MANDELLA:

(happily stunned)

Right.

MICHAEL:

Kat a fan, too?

MANDELLA:

(puzzled)

Yeah...

He leans in close to her, conspiratorially

MICHAEL:

So, listen... I have this friend

EXT. FIELD HOCKEY FIELD - DAY

Cameron sits next to Patrick on the bleachers as they watch

Kat's practice.

CAMERON:

She hates you with the fire of a

thousand suns . That's a direct quote

PATRICK:

She just needs time to cool off I'll

give it a day.

A PUCK flies at them from the field, narrowly missing their

heads.

PATRICK:

(continuing)

Maybe two.

He looks at Cameron.

PATRICK:

(continuing)

You makin' any headway?

CAMERON:

She kissed me.

PATRICK:

(eyebrow raised)

Where?

INT. HALLWAY - DAY

Chastity rounds the corner and bends down to get a drink

from the water fountain.

NEARBY:

Joey stands talking to two JOCK COHORTS. The guys don't see

her.

JOEY:

Don't talk to me about the sweetest

date. That little halo Bianca is gonna

be prone and proven on prom night. Six

virgins in a row.

The cohorts chortle Chastity keeps drinking from the

fountain

EXT. PARKING LOT - DAY

Joey leans against Patrick's Jeep. Patrick is inside.

PATRICK:

I don't know, Dorsey. ..the limo.-the

flowers. Another hundred for the tux --

JOEY:

Enough with the Barbie n' Ken sh*t. I

know.

He pulls out his wallet and hands Patrick a wad of money

JOEY:

(continuing)

Take it

Patrick does, with a smile, as he ROARS out of the parking

lot.

INT. SCHOOL COURTYARD - DAY

Kat and Mandella deface a prom flyer.

KAT:

Can you even imagine? Who the hell

would go to this a bastion of commercial

excess?

MANDELLA:

Well, I guess we're not, since we don't

have dates .

KAT:

Listen to you! You sound like Betty,

all pissed off because Archie is taking

Veronica.

MANDELLA:

Okay, okay, we won't go. It's not like

I have a dress anyway

KAT:

You ' re looking at this from the wrong

perspective. We're making a statement.

MANDELLA:

(unconvinced)

Oh, good. Something new and different

for us.

EXT. ARCHERY FIELD - DAY

Mr. Chapin patrols as boys and girls shoot arrows at targets

Joey swaggers up to Bianca, who is taking careful aim.

Chastity watches from across the row.

JOEY:

Hey, sweet cheeks.

BIANCA:

(not looking at

him)

Hi, Joey.

JOEY:

You're concentrating awfully hard

considering it's gym class.

She lets the arrow go and turns to look at him.

JOEY:

(continuing)

Listen, I want to talk to you about the

prom.

BIANCA:

You know the deal. I can ' t go if Kat

doesn't go --

In the background, a RASTA crumples to the ground. Hit

A casualty of Gym. Mr. Chapin scurries over.

JOEY:

Your sister is going.

Bianca looks at him, surprised

BIANCA:

Since when?

Joey takes the bow and arrow from Bianca's hand. He draws

back and takes aim.

JOEY:

I'm taking care of it.

Chastity looks over from her spot on the field, but keeps

lips firmly shut.

KAT:
