Sebastian takes a moment to catch his breath.

SEBASTIAN:

F*** you.

He knees Ronald in the groin. Ronald screams in pain and

falls over. Sebastian climbs to his feet.

SEBASTIAN (cont'd)

Why don't you give me a chance to

explain.

Sebastian kicks him in the ass. Ronald falls over.

SEBASTIAN (cont'd)

Don't you get it? We were all part of

her game.

Sebastian pins him to the ground. Ronald struggles.

SEBASTIAN (cont'd)

I'm gonna let you up, but you have to

give me a chance to explain. Understood?

Ronald nods. Sebastian releases him and Ronald catches

his breath. Sebastian looks up and SEES -

Annette, standing across the street, witnessing the

event.

SEBASTIAN (cont'd)

Annette!

Sebastian stands and races over to her, blindly crossing

the street.

Annette notices a speeding cab and -

ANNETTE:

(pointing)

Sebastian!

Sebastian looks up just as -- WHAM! The taxi HITS him

dead on, sending him flying over the car and onto the

street.

Annette SCREAMS. The cab SKIDS to a stop. Annette runs

into the street and over to Sebastian, who lies in shock,

He sees her and grabs her hand. She starts to cry.

SEBASTIAN:

I'm okay. I'm okay.

Ronald and the Cab driver run over to them.

ANNETTE:

Get an ambulance!

The cab driver races back to his car. Sebastian looks up

at Annette.

ANNETTE (cont'd)

We're getting you to a hospital.

Sebastian nods.

SEBASTIAN:

Holy sh*t.

ANNETTE (cont'd)

You're gonna be fine.

Sebastian nods.

SEBASTIAN:

I'm sorry.

ANNETTE (cont'd)

It's alright.

SEBASTIAN:

I'm okay. Everything's good.

DISSOLVE TO:

105 INT. VALMONT TOWNHOUSE - LIVING ROOM - DAY 105

Blaine, twenty high-school girls and several friends of

the family are dressed in black, making polite conversation

and consoling Sebastian's parents and his Aunt Helen.

Mrs. Caldwell stands in the corner with Cecile and her

husband, MR. CALDWELL.

MRS. CALDWELL

Sad, sad, sad. To think of the

opportunities that boy had. This should

be a lesson to us all that our children

need constant supervision.

She puts her arm around Cecile.

MRS. CALDWELL (CONT'D)

It's all about quality time.

106 INT. VALMONT TOWNHOUSE - SEBASTIAN'S BEDROOM - DAY 106

Annette enters Sebastian's room, now cleaned up. She

walks around the room, taking it in, then approaches the

window. She stares out of it for a moment.

KATHRYN (O.S.)

He loved that view.

Annette turns and sees Kathryn at the door. She enters

the room.

ANNETTE:

I can see why.

Kathryn extends her hand.

KATHRYN:

I'm Kathryn.

ANNETTE:

Annette Harrison.

They shake.

KATHRYN:

Have we met?

ANNETTE:

I don't think so.

KATHRYN:

Did you know Sebastian well?

ANNETTE:

You might say that.

KATHRYN:

Now I remember. Annette Harrison. Your

father's the new headmaster at Oakwood.

ANNETTE:

That's right.

KATHRYN:

I'm sure you're going to love it there.

Annette nods.

KATHRYN:

Are you okay?

ANNETTE:

I'll be fine.

KATHRYN:

(beat)

Well, I'll leave you alone now. I just

came in here to get something of mine.

Kathryn walks over to Sebastian's desk and takes the keys

to his Porsche. She goes to leave, when she turns back to

Annette.

KATHRYN (cont'd)

You sure you're going to be alright?

I'm here if you need a friend.

ANNETTE:

Thank you.

KATHRYN:

Look, I know this sounds corny, but

whenever I feel like I can't go on I...

(takes out her crucifix)

turn to Jesus and he helps me through

the problem. Call me an anachronism,

but -

ANNETTE:

Oh cut the sh*t, Kathryn.

KATHRYN:

Excuse me?

ANNETTE:

You heard me.

KATHRYN:

Who the hell do you think you are

coming into my house and saying those

things to me. My brother is dead, have

some respect.

ANNETTE:

Kathryn, I know all about you and

Sebastian.

KATHRYN:

Sebastian was a pathological liar. I

wouldn't believe a word he -

ANNETTE:

I have his journal.

KATHRYN:

You what?

ANNETTE:

His journal. He sent it to me the day

before he died. Everything about you is

in it. The blow jobs, the hand jobs,

the menages, your bout with bulimia,

the affair you had with your guidance

counselor and how he gave you... eww.

Let's see, then there's your coke

problem... You still keep it in your

crucifix, don't you? It's all in there.

KATHRYN:

You didn't show it to anybody?

ANNETTE:

Actually, I was planning on running

down to Kinkos. Do you think you could

give me ride?
