KATHRYN:

You can't do this to me. It could ruin

me.

ANNETTE:

(smiling)

I know.

Kathryn starts to cry.

ANNETTE (cont'd)

Kathryn, please. Crying? Didn't you

once say that crying is a sign of

weakness? I'm very disappointed in you.

Kathryn continues to sob.

ANNETTE (cont'd)

Alright, stop crying. There's a bright

side to this you know.

Annette puts a comforting arm around her.

ANNETTE (cont'd)

You're going to be my pet project next

year. You're going to do what I tell

you to do, wear what I tell you to

wear. You're going to befriend the

unpopular, sleep with the insecure.

Think of the social ramifications it

will cause. You and I are going to turn

this school around. And do you know why

you're going to do it?

(beat)

Cause your ass is mine.

Annette grabs Kathryn by the face, KISSES her forcefully

on the mouth, then shoves her back. Kathryn looks at her

in horror.

ANNETTE (cont'd)

We'll be in touch.

She winks at Kathryn then leaves.

CLOSE ON:
Kathryn. She sits down on Sebastian's bed,

utterly defeated.

ANNETTE (cont'd)

Forgot something.

Annette steps back into frame and takes the car keys out

of Kathryn's hands.

107 INT. PORSCHE - DAY 107

Annette races down the highway. She opens up the glove

compartment and rifles through some cassettes. She takes

out The Carpenter's Greatest Hits and inserts it.

CUE UP:
The Carpenter's singing "Goodbye To Love."

Annette reaches down and takes out Sebastian's

sunglasses. She puts them on and checks herself out in

the rear-view mirror. A grin crosses her face.

108 EXT. WESTSIDE HIGHWAY - AERIAL POV. - DAY 108

We MOVE off the Porsche and ascend into the air. The

Porsche weaves through traffic as it disappears into a

sea of cars. WE SEE the Manhattan skyline in the background

as WE -

FADE OUT.
