10 Things I Hate About You Page #24

starts to turn away from Kat

MR. CHAPIN

You're not gonna change my mind, Kat.

Rules stick.

Kat starts to panic, as Patrick has yet to make the jump for

the tree.

KAT:

Wait, Mr. Chapin. There's something

I've always wanted to show you.

He turns back toward her again, the very second before he

would have spotted Patrick.

Kat glances toward the window. Patrick's just about to make

the jump.

MR. CHAPIN

What?

KAT:

These.

From behind, we see her lift up her shirt and flash her bra

at Mr. Chapin, just as Patrick makes the Jump.

The miscreants cheer, for both the daring' escape and the

flash of skin.

Mr. Chapin reddens and tries to be stern.

MR. CHAPIN

I'm going to let that slide, Katarina.

But if I catch you doing that again,

you'll be in here with the rest of these

guys.

He motions to the remaining detention prisoners, without

noticing Patrick's absence.

Kat smiles at him.

KAT:

Thank you, Mr. Chapin.

Kat bolts out the door. Mr. Chapin goes back to his muscle

mag, wiping the sweat from his brow.

EXT. SCHOOL CAMPUS LAWN

Kat arrives at the tree. looking around breathlessly, seeing

no one.

KAT:

He left! I sprung the d*ckhead and he

cruised on me.

PATRICK:

(0. S.)

Look up, sunshine

She does. He's still in the tree

PATRICK:

I guess I never told you I'm afraid of

heights.

KAT:

(smiling)

C'mon. It's not that bad

PATRICK:

Try lookin' at it from this angle

She assesses the branch structure

KAT:

Put your right foot there --

PATRICK:

Forget it. I'm stayin'.

KAT:

You want me to climb up and show you

how to get down?

PATRICK:

(voice trembling)

Maybe.

She sighs and dose so. When she gets to his level, she

perches on the branch next to him. He grins at her.

Then swings himself down with the grace and ease of a

monkey, leaving her sitting there, realizing she's been

duped.

KAT:

You sh*t!

She climbs down after him

EXT. OUTDOOR ARCADE - DAY

Patrick and Kat walk amongst the games

KAT:

The Partridge Family?

PATRICK:

I figured it had to be something

ridiculous to win your respect. And

piss you off.

KAT:

Good call.

PATRICK:

So how'd you get Chapin to look the

other way?

KAT:

I dazzled him with my wit

She stops and picks up a toy gun that SHOOTS water at

giggling hyenas and wails on it. The barker hands her a

stuffed animal as her prize. She hands it to the small KID

next to her and they continue walking.

PATRICK:

(sarcastic)

A soft side? Who knew?

KAT:

Yeah, well, don't let it get out

PATRICK:

So what's your excuse?

KAT:

Acting the way we do.

PATRICK:

Yes

KAT:

I don't like to do what people expect.

Then they expect it all the time and

they get disappointed when you change.

PATRICK:

So if you disappoint them from the

start, you're covered?

KAT:

Something like that

PATRICK:

Then you screwed up

KAT:

How?

PATRICK:

You never disappointed me.

She blushes under his gaze

PATRICK:

(continuing)

You up for it?

KAT:

For. . . ?

He motions to the SIGN for a paint-ball game. She grins

SERIES OF SHOTS:

The two of them creep through the paint-ball course,

stealthy and full of the desire to best the other.

Patrick nails Kat in the back with a big glob of red paint

Kat gets him in the chest with a glob of blue.

Patrick returns fire with a big yellow splat to the side of

her face.

Kat squirts a green shot to his forehead After a few more

shots, they're both covered in paint

She tries to shoot him again, only to find that her gun is

empty.

KAT:
