Cruel Intentions Page #17

ANNETTE:

Not at all. Have a seat.

He sits down next to her.

SEBASTIAN:

Don't tell me you finished The

Fountainhead already?

She nods. He points to her book.

SEBASTIAN (cont'd)

Great book. What's the guy's name,

Florentino...

ANNETTE:

Florentino Ariza.

Sebastian sticks his hand in his pocket and fiddles

around.

SEBASTIAN:

My friend Monsieur Philipe is a friend

of Florentino.

ANNETTE:

Who's Monsieur Philipe?

SEBASTIAN:

You don't know Monsieur Philipe?

Sebastian takes out a SOCK PUPPET.

SEBASTIAN (cont'd)

(low voice)

Bonjour mademoiselle.

ANNETTE:

(laughs)

Bonjour Monsieur Philipe.

SEBASTIAN:

(Monsieur Philipe voice)

You are very pretty. I would like to

kiss you.

The puppet kisses her on the cheek.

SEBASTIAN (cont'd)

(Monsieur Philipe voice)

Oooo, that felt good.

ANNETTE:

Thank you.

He kisses her on the cheek.

SEBASTIAN:

(Monsieur Philipe voice)

That felt good too. I will kiss you

all over.

The puppet attacks a laughing Annette. She playfully

grabs Sebastian and starts to tickle him. Sebastian

tickles her back.

They roll around on the ground until Sebastian lands on

top of her. A moment of tense silence passes and

Sebastian kisses her. The kissing intensifies until she

pushes him off her.

Sebastian stands.

SEBASTIAN (cont'd)

I'm sorry about that.

ANNETTE:

I am too.

He paces for a moment and his mood turns to anger.

SEBASTIAN:

You know what? I don't take it back.

ANNETTE:

Why are you doing this?

SEBASTIAN:

Because I'm in love with you.

ANNETTE:

I thought you said we were going to be

friends.

SEBASTIAN:

I can't handle it. I can't keep my

feelings bottled up like you. Can you

honestly tell me that you feel nothing

for me? ... Tell me!

ANNETTE:

I have feelings for you.

SEBASTIAN:

Then what's wrong? I love you Annette.

It's not like you have a husband,

unless your married to Jesus.

ANNETTE:

That's not fair.

SEBASTIAN:

Why can't we be together?

Annette's eyes well up with tears.

ANNETTE:

You really want to know?

SEBASTIAN:

Yes.

ANNETTE:

It's because I don't trust myself with

you.

(beat)

I took a vow and because of you I'm

tempted to break it. Don't destroy that

for me. Please.

She hurries off.

61 INT. ESTATE - SEBASTIAN'S ROOM - DAY 61

Sebastian enters the room and slams the door behind him.

SEBASTIAN:

(frustrated)

Sh*t.

He hears the shower running from the bathroom.

62 INT. ESTATE - SEBASTIAN'S BATHROOM - DAY 62

Sebastian enters the room. Cecile sticks her head out

from the shower curtain.

CECILE:

Want to join me?

SEBASTIAN:

(indifferent)

Some other time, Cecile.

He leaves the room. Cecile looks confused. A moment

passes and Sebastian re-enters taking off his clothes.

SEBASTIAN (cont'd)

What am I, an idiot?

Cecile smiles.

63 INT. ESTATE - SEBASTIAN'S ROOM - NIGHT 63

Sebastian and Cecile lie in bed. Sebastian smokes a

cigarette and writes in his journal.

CECILE:

Am I suppose to be this sore?

SEBASTIAN:

For the first time, yes. It'll pass.

A moment of silence.

CECILE:

I like it better when I'm on top.

SEBASTIAN:

Cecile. This is what I like to call

quiet time. This is time when we

reflect on what we've done.

CECILE:

I'm sorry.

She looks at the troubled expression on Sebastian's face.

CECILE (cont'd)

Something's bothering you?

SEBASTIAN:

You think?

CECILE:

Is it me?

SEBASTIAN:

No, you were fine.

SEBASTIAN'S P.O.V. - He looks out on the balcony, where

Kathryn is eavesdropping. They make eye contact and she

waves.

CECILE:

It's that girl, Annette.

He stands and walks over to the balcony, where he closes

the blinds.

CECILE (cont'd)

You love her, don't you? It's okay.

I don't love you either. I love Ronald.

SEBASTIAN:

I'm getting out of here.

Sebastian heads to the bathroom.

CECILE:

Where are you going?

SEBASTIAN (O.S.)

I'm taking a shower.

CECILE:

Need any company?

SEBASTIAN (O.S.)

No.

CECILE:

Want a blow job?

SEBASTIAN (O.S.)

Good night Cecile.

CECILE:

(under her breath)

Prude.

64 INT. ESTATE - ANNETTE'S GUEST ROOM - NIGHT 64

Annette is reading in bed. There's a knock on the door.

ANNETTE:

Come in.
