KATHRYN:

Wow. So you made love. Ooo, I hear

the birds chirping.

SEBASTIAN:

Mock, mock, mock.

She places her hand on his crotch.

KATHRYN:

So I assume you've come here to make

some arrangements.

Sebastian stands.

SEBASTIAN:

Some other time.

KATHRYN:

Excuse me?

SEBASTIAN:

I'm not in the mood.

KATHRYN:

And that's why you're leaving?

SEBASTIAN:

It clearly is why.

KATHRYN:

I want to f***.

SEBASTIAN:

And I don't.

He leaves and slams the door behind him.

79 INT. VALMONT TOWNHOUSE - SEBASTIAN'S BEDROOM - DAY 79

Sebastian talks on the phone.

SEBASTIAN:

I'll pick you up in an hour. I love

you too.

He hangs up the phone. Kathryn stands in the doorway.

KATHRYN:

Oh my God. You're completely p-whipped.

SEBASTIAN:

No, I'm not.

KATHRYN:

P-whipped, p-whipped.

SEBASTIAN:

What's wrong with you? Why are you

acting this way?

Kathryn starts to cry.

KATHRYN:

I'm sorry. It's just upsetting. You're

in love with her. You don't love me

anymore.

SEBASTIAN:

Oh come on, Kathryn, it was just a

contest.

KATHRYN:

At first it was, but now it's become

something bigger.

SEBASTIAN:

Kathryn, you know I love you. I've

always loved you.

KATHRYN:

Not anymore you don't. It's obvious.

SEBASTIAN:

I can't believe you're reacting this

way. You're just saying this because

you lost the bet.

KATHRYN:

Is that what you think?

He nods. Kathryn sits down on his bed. She slips her

underwear off from under her bathrobe and tosses it

aside, spreading her legs.

KATHRYN (cont'd)

Alright, come on, let's get it over

with. But mark my words, this is the

only time it'll happen.

She picks up the phone.

KATHRYN (cont'd)

Whenever you're ready. Just stick it in

me. While you're doing that I'm gonna

make some phone calls.

SEBASTIAN:

That's not fair. You're taking all the

fun out of it.

KATHRYN:

Then do me a favor and get rid of her.

If not for me, then do it for you.

Look at yourself. You're a joke. She's

turned you into jelly. What do you want

to be, one of those losers who walk

down the halls holding hands and

smiling. People used to respect you.

They feared you and now you're going to

throw that all away.

Sebastian stares at her, lost in thought.

KATHRYN (cont'd)

Poor Sebastian. He used to be cool, but

now he's just another love-struck

f*ggot. One of the many.

80 EXT. MANHATTAN STREET - DAY 80

A taxi drives down the street.

81 INT. TAXI - DAY 81

Kathryn and Sebastian sit in the back seat. Her arm is

around his. Sebastian looks nervous.

KATHRYN:

Why so nervous?

SEBASTIAN:

I've never done this before.

KATHRYN:

How have you dumped girls in the past?

SEBASTIAN:

Screening calls. Any suggestions?

KATHRYN:

I knew this guy last summer in the

Hamptons. He and his girlfriend at the

time were madly in love with each

other. But she had this huge weight

problem. His friends taunted him

mercilessly about it. You know, "How

do you breathe when she sits on your

face?" "It's embarrassing for you to

be seen with her." Finally he couldn't

take it anymore and decided to dump

her. She flipped and he went on the

defensive. I distinctly remember him

saying the same thing over and over

again. "I'm completely f***ed up."

"I'm completely f***ed up." "I'm

completely f***ed up."

(beat)

Poor fatty never had a chance.

82 EXT. O'SHEA APARTMENT BUILDING - DAY 82

The cab pulls up to the curb. Sebastian gets out and

heads into the building. Kathryn leans out the window.

KATHRYN:

Don't be weak.

The cab drives off.

83 INT. O'SHEA APARTMENT BUILDING - HALLWAY - DAY 83

Sebastian rings the doorbell. A woman (MRS. O'SHEA)

answers the door.

SEBASTIAN:

Hi. Is Annette at home?

MRS. O'SHEA

You must be Sebastian. I've heard such

nice things about you.

He smiles.

MRS. O'SHEA (cont'd)

(calling out)

Annette.

(to Sebastian)

Come on in.

84 INT. O'SHEA APARTMENT - FOYER - DAY 84

Sebastian closes the door behind him. Annette enters the

room.

ANNETTE:

Hi.

SEBASTIAN:

Hi.

MRS. O'SHEA

Well, I'm going to head back to the

kitchen. You two have fun.

Mrs. O'Shea mouths "He's cute" to Annette. Annette

smiles and nods. Mrs. O'Shea leaves the room.

ANNETTE:

Would you like a tour?

SEBASTIAN:

Sure.
