Cruel Intentions Page #14

SEBASTIAN:

Cecile. Now I need you to listen to me

very carefully. I have a letter from

Ronald that he asked me to give to

you. Now I can't exactly bring it to

your house, since your mother

despises me so here's what we're going

to do.

44 CALDWELL APARTMENT - CECILE'S BEDROOM - NIGHT 44

The clock reads 1:30. A large collection of antiques

and stuffed animals line the room and walls. Cecile

lies in bed, eyes wide open. She crawls out of it,

dressed in sweats.

45 MANHATTAN STREET - NIGHT 45

Cecile exits a building and steps into a waiting

taxi.

46 INT. VALMONT TOWNHOUSE - SEBASTIAN'S BEDROOM - NIGHT 46

Cecile lies on Sebastian's bed. She finishes the letter

while Sebastian fiddles with a camera.

CECILE:

Finished.

She hands the letter to Sebastian, who looks it over.

SEBASTIAN:

Excellent.

CECILE:

You think he'll like it?

SEBASTIAN:

He'll love it.

He points the camera at Cecile and snaps a photo.

CECILE:

What are you doing?

SEBASTIAN:

Just taking your photo.

CECILE:

I look terrible.

SEBASTIAN:

Mmmm, you're right. Those clothes

don't do you justice. Why don't you

take them off.

Cecile gasps.

CECILE:

I'm getting out of here.

She stands to leave. Sebastian blocks her path.

SEBASTIAN:

I'm sorry that was out of line.

CECILE:

(scared)

I want to go home.

SEBASTIAN:

I was just kidding.

CECILE:

(eyes watering)

I want to go home.

He moves toward the phone

SEBASTIAN:

Okay, okay. I'll just call your mom

and have her come pick you up.

CECILE:

My mom? Don't call my mom.

SEBASTIAN:

Why not? ... Oh wow, she doesn't

know you're here. In fact, you're

grounded. Jesus, you could get in a

shitload of trouble for this.

I think I should call her anyway.

Cecile runs over to him, sobbing, and wraps her arms

around his legs.

CECILE:

Please please please. I'll do

anything. Just don't call my mom.

SEBASTIAN:

Cecile, all I want to do is give you a

kiss.

CECILE:

And then I can go home?

SEBASTIAN:

Of course. I'm not a monster.

Cecile breathes a sigh of relief. He pulls her up to her

feet.

CECILE:

Just a kiss, right?

SEBASTIAN:

I swear.

She closes her eyes, then puckers up. Sebastian takes the

string holding up her sweats and pulls it open.

Cecile bolts up.

CECILE:

What are you doing?

SEBASTIAN:

You promised to let me kiss you.

CECILE:

But -

SEBASTIAN:

(pointing at her lips)

I don't want to kiss you here. I want

to kiss you there.

Sebastian points to her crotch. She moves her hands to

her sweats and looks up at him. Sebastian shrugs.

Cecile pulls the string to her sweats. They fall to the

floor.

47 INT. CALDWELL APARTMENT - CECILE'S BEDROOM - DAY 47

Mrs. Caldwell enters the room.

MRS. CALDWELL

Cecile are you up yet? We're gonna to

be late for the -

She notices the bed is empty.

MRS. CALDWELL (cont'd)

Cecile?

She walks over the bathroom door and knocks.

MRS. CALDWELL (cont'd)

Cecile?

CECILE (O.S.)

I'm in the bath, mom.

MRS. CALDWELL

Well hurry up. I want to be at Mrs.

Rosemond's before lunch.

CECILE (O.S.)

Okay.

48 INT. CALDWELL APARTMENT - CECILE'S BATHROOM - DAY 48

Cecile stands in front of her mirror, crying. She applies

make-up to several hickeys on her neck. She XXX down

her shirt and grimaces. She sticks her finger the make-

up bottle, then puts her hand down her shirt.

49 EXT. ESTATE - TERRACE - DAY 49

Aunt Helen, Annette, Mrs. Caldwell and Cecile are having

lunch. Cecile is wearing a turtle neck.

MRS. CALDWELL

It was nice of you to invite us up

for the weekend, Helen.

AUNT HELEN:

More the merrier.

(to Cecile)

Is everything alright my dear?

CECILE:

I'm just not feeling well.

Sebastian enters carrying his tennis racket.

SEBASTIAN:

Afternoon ladies.

Cecile is stunned that he's there. Sebastian takes a

seat at the table.

MRS. CALDWELL

I didn't know you'd be here,

Sebastian.

SEBASTIAN:

I wasn't planning on it, but being

such a lovely day, why waste it in the

city. Anyone for tennis?

He looks at Cecile and strokes the shaft of his racket.

Cecile stands and rushes into the house.

SEBASTIAN (cont'd)

What's wrong with her?

No one knows.

MRS. CALDWELL (cont'd)

Would you excuse me for a minute?

Mrs. Caldwell follows her into the house.

SEBASTIAN:

(concerned)

I hope she's alright.

AUNT HELEN:

I better go check on them.

Aunt Helen stands and enters the house.

SEBASTIAN:

Alone again.

(beat)

What are you up to today?
