Cruel Intentions Page #10

ANNETTE:

No thank you.

SEBASTIAN:

How are you today?

ANNETTE:

Give it up.

SEBASTIAN:

Oh right, last night. I guess I owe

you an apology.

ANNETTE:

I'm not going to speak to you till you

realize that you can't intimidate me.

SEBASTIAN:

I said I was sorry.

She continues her jog. Sebastian follows alongside.

SEBASTIAN (cont'd)

Have a nice sleep last night?

ANNETTE:

It was fine.

SEBASTIAN:

I wish I could say the same for

myself. I was up thinking about you

all night.

ANNETTE:

I thought we agreed that we were going

to be friends.

SEBASTIAN:

Yes, well unfortunately I can't just

switch the "on" button to "off." The

sad fact of the matter is that you've

unintentionally rubbed off on me.

Annette stops running and turns to him.

ANNETTE:

And that's a bad thing?

SEBASTIAN:

I'm trying to better myself, but the

one person who can help me is the same

one pushing me away.

ANNETTE:

I'm sorry, but I'm not here to be your

savior.

SEBASTIAN:

Well try this one on for size. I think

I'm falling in love with you.

ANNETTE:

You don't even know me.

SEBASTIAN:

Don't you believe in love at first sight?

ANNETTE:

Yes, but only when it's mutual. And this

is far from mutual.

SEBASTIAN:

Ouch. Do you think we could spend some

time together this morning?

ANNETTE:

I can't. I'm seeing a friend.

SEBASTIAN:

Who?

ANNETTE:

That's none of your business.

SEBASTIAN:

How about tonight?

ANNETTE:

I'm busy.

SEBASTIAN:

Doing what?

ANNETTE:

That's also none of your business.

SEBASTIAN:

Tell me what to do, Annette. How can I

win your heart. I'll do anything. I

can't get you out of my mind.

ANNETTE:

You truly want to do something to make

me happy?

SEBASTIAN:

Yes.

ANNETTE:

And you promise to abide by it?

SEBASTIAN:

Without question.

ANNETTE:

Alright.

(beat)

I want you to leave and go back to

New York.

SEBASTIAN:

What?

ANNETTE:

If that's a problem, then I'll make

arrangements to stay with some friends.

Sebastian thinks for a moment. He's pissed.

SEBASTIAN:

I'll leave this afternoon. Happy?

ANNETTE:

It's not about being happy. You and I

can't -

He shifts the cart into reverse and backs away.

31 EXT. BEACH - DAY 31

Annette and Greg walk along the beach and gaze out at the

ocean.

GREG:

He told you he's failing in love

with you? I've never known him to

say those words before.

ANNETTE:

Really? I thought he said it all

the time.

GREG:

That's not his style. one thing I can

say about Valmont. He always speaks

the truth.

Annette looks lost.

GREG (cont'd)

What's wrong?

ANNETTE:

Nothing.

GREG:

Is there a mutual feeling between you

two?

ANNETTE:

No. I mean. I don't know.

(beat)

What else do you know about him?

GREG:

Not a whole lot. We take some classes

together. He's got a bad rep, but it's

mostly bullshit.

ANNETTE:

What do you mean?

GREG:

Well, a lot of people are jealous cause

he's loaded.

ANNETTE:

(sighs)

I don't know. I've been hearing some

awful things about him.

GREG:

From who?

ANNETTE:

I can't tell you. I'm sworn to secrecy.

Greg takes her hand.

GREG:

Annette, how long have we known each

other?

ANNETTE:

Forever.

GREG:

Now it's my job to look out for you.

You're like a kid sister to me. Do I

look like some kind of gossip queen?

Annette laughs.

ANNETTE:

You promise not to say anything?

GREG:

On my mother's life.

ANNETTE:

(beat)

Okay...

32 INT. PORSCHE - DAY 32

Sebastian drives down the highway towards Manhattan. He holds

his cell phone in one ear.

SEBASTIAN:

That nosey b*tch. Are you sure?

INTERCUT WITH:

33 EXT. BEACH - DAY 33

Greg talks on a pay phone, out of Annette's sight.

GREG:

Positive.

SEBASTIAN:

Did you do everything I asked you to?
