Cruel Intentions Page #22

She clicks his glass and drinks. Sebastian doesn't

drink. He looks ill.

SEBASTIAN:

In any event, you still owe me my

reward.

KATHRYN:

I'm sorry, but unfortunately I don't

f*** losers.

Sebastian slaps her across the face.

KATHRYN (cont'd)

You motherf***er!

She grabs him and starts throwing wild punches. They

fall to the ground.

KATHRYN (cont'd)

Nobody hits me.

SEBASTIAN:

Calm down.

He rolls on top of her and pins her to the ground.

KATHRYN:

Get off me!

SEBASTIAN:

Will you calm down?

KATHRYN:

Fine! Get off me!

He stands and gives her a hand up. They both catch their

breaths.

SEBASTIAN:

I'm very sorry about that. I apologize.

KATHRYN:

I accept. Now get out.

SEBASTIAN:

Get out? We had an arrangement.

KATHRYN:

Didn't you hear what I said?

SEBASTIAN:

I don't care what you said, we had an

agreement. You've slept with half of

the borough so don't tell me you're

being choosy.

KATHRYN:

(screaming)

Get out!

SEBASTIAN:

I'm giving you to the count of three to

plop your ass down on the bed.

KATHRYN:

And if I don't?

SEBASTIAN:

Then I will consider it a declaration

of war. One. Two... three.

KATHRYN:

I think you have your answer.

SEBASTIAN:

War it is.

He grabs his journal, leaves and SLAMS the door behind

him.

89 INT. VALMONT TOWNHOUSE - SEBASTIAN'S BEDROOM - DAY 89

Sebastian paces while talking on the phone.

SEBASTIAN:

It's desperate that I talk to her.

MRS. O'SHEA (O.S.)

I've already told you, she's not home.

SEBASTIAN:

Well please leave a message that I

called.

MRS. O'SHEA (O.S.)

I'll do that.

He hangs up the phone and THROWS it into a mirror, which

SMASHES.

SEBASTIAN:

Sh*t.

He collapses on his bed and buries his face in his hands.

Exhausted he looks up and sees his journal lying on the

floor. He picks it up and flips through it.

90 EXT. O'SHEA APARTMENT BUILDING - NIGHT 90

Sebastian walks down the street carrying a small package.

He enters an apartment building.

91 INT. O'SHEA APARTMENT BUILDING - HALLWAY - NIGHT 91

Sebastian rings the doorbell. Mrs. O'Shea answers the

door.

MRS. O'SHEA

What do you want?

SEBASTIAN:

I need to talk to Annette.

MRS. O'SHEA

She's not here.

SEBASTIAN:

Do you know where she is?

MRS. O'SHEA

She's out.

SEBASTIAN:

Do you know when she'll be back?

MRS. O'SHEA

Later. Listen, we're entertaining

some guests so -

SEBASTIAN:

Annette! Annette!

MRS. O'SHEA

Young man, I already told you she's

not here.

SEBASTIAN:

Fine. Could you please see that she

gets this.

He hands her the package.

MRS. O'SHEA

I'll do that.

SEBASTIAN:

It's really important.

MRS. O'SHEA

I understand. Good night.

She closes the door.

92 INT. O'SHEA APARTMENT - FOYER - NIGHT 92

Mrs O'Shea turns away from the door towards Annette,

who stands in the hallway.

93 INT. VALMONT TOWNHOUSE - KATHRYN'S BEDROOM - NIGHT 93

Kathryn sits in a chair doing her nails. She checks her

watch, takes a moment and makes herself upset. She picks

up the phone and dials.

INTERCUT WITH:

94 INT. RONALD'S BEDROOM - NIGHT 94

Ronald is sleeping. The phone rings. He awakens and

answers it.

RONALD:

Hello.

KATHRYN:

(voice cracking)

Ronald?

RONALD:

Yeah?

KATHRYN:

It's Kathryn.

Ronald sits up, nervous.

RONALD:

Hi Kathryn. Is everything okay?

KATHRYN:

No.

She cries.

RONALD:

What's wrong?

KATHRYN:

It's Sebastian. He's out of his mind.

RONALD:

What do you mean?

KATHRYN:

I think he's high on drugs. He hit me,

then took off. I'm afraid to be alone.

Please come over.

RONALD:

I'll be right there.

He hangs up the phone and grabs his pants

BACK TO:

95 INT. VALMONT TOWNHOUSE - KATHRYN'S BEDROOM - DAY 95

Kathryn hangs up the phone. She instantly becomes calm and

returns to doing her nails.

96 INT. O'SHEA APARTMENT - ANNETTE'S GUEST ROOM - NIGHT 96

Annette sits and stares at Sebastian's package.

She picks it up and opens it. She takes out a journal

and a letter. She opens the letter and reads it.

SEBASTIAN (V.O.)

Dear Annette. Thank you for reading

this letter. I don't know what I can

possibly say to rectify the harm I have

caused you. For once in my life I'm at

a loss for words.
