Cruel Intentions Page #2

RACHEL:

Nudie pictures, what do you think?

DR. GREENBAUM

Jesus Christ, how can you be so

stupid?

RACHEL:

I don't know. He was just so charming.

All he did was talk about how I had

killer legs and how we wanted to

photograph them. Things just got out

of hand from there.

(she hears the phone drop)

Mom? Are you there? Mom?

(screaming)

Mother!!!!

4 INT. THERAPIST'S OFFICE BUILDING - HALLWAY - DAY 4

Doctor Greenbaum bolts out of her office and spots

Sebastian standing in the elevator.

DR. GREENBAUM

You son of a b*tch.

Doctor Greenbaum races down the hall pushing several

people out of her way. Sebastian stares at her

expressionless as the elevator doors close.

DR. GREENBAUM (cont'd)

You're gonna pay for this you little

sh*t. You hear me.

A DENTIST peers outside of his office to see what's

going on. He exchanges looks with Doctor Greenbaum.

DR. GREENBAUM (cont'd)

F*** off, Harold.

He gasps.

5 EXT. VALMONT TOWNHOUSE - DAY 5

A METER MAID is writing a ticket on a car when a Porsche

pulls up in front of the townhouse and parks in a red

zone. Sebastian steps out of the car and walks up the

steps to the townhouse.

METER MAID:

You can't park there.

Sebastian turns to her and sneers. He takes out a wad of

money and shoves it in her breast pocket before entering

the townhouse.

6 INT. VALMONT TOWNHOUSE - KITCHEN - DAY 6

A SERIES OF SHOTS

A tuna on a chopping board. WHACK! A butcher

knife comes down on the tuna cutting it's head off.

Two hands ripping open the fish.

7 INT. VALMONT TOWNHOUSE - HALLWAY - DAY 7

CLOSE ON:
Two hands which carry a lavish tray of sushi

through several doors until we enter the final door

leading into -

8 INT. VALMONT TOWNHOUSE - LIVING ROOM - DAY 8

A enormous living room by Manhattan standards, with a

view that overlooks the park. Eclectic art from around

the world emphasize the Valmont's passion for travel.

SOOK-HEE, the Valmont's housekeeper sets a tray of sushi

in front of -

KATHRYN MERTEUIL, a seventeen year old porcelain

skinned WASP with all the grooming you could want in an

East Coast child. She sits with a forced smile on her

face and listens attentively as -

BUNNY CALDWELL, a forty year old nouveau-riche socialite

talks incessantly. CECILE CALDWELL, her beautiful

teenage daughter, sits by her side. She wears a T-shirt

with a Koala Bear on it.

MRS. CALDWELL

I can't tell you how happy we are that

Cecile is going to be attending Oakwood with you

this fall. You've always been an

inspiration to Beau and I on raising

her. We just hope she can rise to the

high standards which you've set for

her.

KATHRYN:

I'll do my best.

Sook-Hee pours a dish of soy sauce in front of Kathryn.

KATHRYN (cont'd)

(to Sook-Hee, in Vietnamese)

Thank you, Sook-Hee. That will be

all.

Sook-Hee leaves.

CECILE:

What was that?

KATHRYN:

I was thanking her. Vietnamese is such a

beautiful language.

MRS. CALDWELL (cont'd)

Kathryn is a straight A student at

Oakwood as well as being President of

the French Club. Listen to whatever

she has to say and you'll go far.

KATHRYN:

(in French)

You're too kind.

MRS. CALDWELL

How do you do it? I mean with all peer pressuring

that goes on in high school. Where

do you get your strength?

KATHRYN:

I know this sounds corny, but whenever

I feel temptations of peer pressure,

I...

(takes out her crucifix)

turn to God and he helps me through the

problem. Call me an anachronism, but

it works.

MRS. CALDWELL

That's beautiful.

CECILE:

What are the boys like?

MRS. CALDWELL

Cecile, is that the best you can do?

(to Kathryn)

You must forgive her, Kathryn. She's never

been in a co-educational atmosphere before.

KATHRYN:

Don't worry, it's totally understandable.

Most of the boys that matriculate at Oakwood

are very upstanding gentleman, however

there are the occasional bad apples.

MRS. CALDWELL

Like your step-brother Sebastian. I can't

believe they didn't expel him after what he

did to the school nurse.

SEBASTIAN (O.S.)

I hear she's recovering quite well.

Mrs. Caldwell turns to see Sebastian standing in the

doorway. He walks over and takes a seat.

SEBASTIAN (cont'd)

Nice to see you again, Mrs. Caldwell.

MRS. CALDWELL

You remember my daughter, Cecile.

SEBASTIAN:

My, what an adorable shirt you're

wearing.

CECILE:

My father just took me on a trip to Australia.

SEBASTIAN:

How are things down under? Blossoming I hope.

KATHRYN:

Cecile's attending Oakwood in the fall.

SEBASTIAN:

Outstanding.

CECILE:

What year are you in?

SEBASTIAN:

I'm what you would call a fifth year senior.

CECILE:

But I thought high school is only four years.
