SEBASTIAN:

Outstanding.

BLAINE:

Don't think it's not going to cost you.

SEBASTIAN:

No problem. Just make sure your front

door is unlocked. Shall we say the

"stroke of midnight" no pun intended?

Sebastian hands Blaine two hundred dollar bills.

22 EXT. CENTRAL PARK - DAY 22

Kathryn and Cecile sit on a blanket. A lavish picnic lies

around them. Kathryn wears large sunglasses, a scarf and

a hat to protect her from the sunlight. She sits behind

Cecile and braids her hair.

KATHRYN:

So, rumor has it that you went on a date

with Court Reynolds. I hear he's very

nice.

CECILE:

He's alright.

(giggles)

He kept talking about this bulimic

headcase he dumped over Fourth Of July.

KATHRYN:

Really? Bulimic headcase.

CECILE:

What a loser she must be.

(beat)

Anyhow, Court's invited me to the Hamptons

for Labor Day Weekend.

KATHRYN:

That's great.

CECILE:

You think so? I don't know. I guess I'm

just scared.

KATHRYN:

What are you scared of?

CECILE:

Ah duh. Boys. I've never even gone to

first base with a guy. What do I do?

KATHRYN:

Haven't you ever practiced with one of

your girlfriends?

CECILE:

Eww. No. That's gross.

KATHRYN:

It's not gross. How else do you think

girls learn? Here turn around and

face me.

Cecile turns and faces Kathryn, who removes her glasses.

KATHRYN (cont'd)

Now close your eyes and wet your lips.

CECILE:

Are you for real?

KATHRYN:

Do you want to learn or not?

CECILE:

I guess. It still sounds gross.

Cecile does as instructed. Kathryn leans in and kisses

her on the mouth.

KATHRYN:

See that wasn't so bad.

CECILE:

It was nothing.

KATHRYN:

Let's try it again, only this time I'm

going to stick my tongue in your

mouth. When I do that I want you to

massage my tongue with yours. That's

what first base is.

CECILE:

(reluctant)

Okay.

KATHRYN:

Eyes closed.

Cecile closes her eyes. Kathryn leans in and kisses her

again, only this time longer. She continues to kiss her

then gently pushes her tongue into Cecile's. Cecile does

as instructed and they start to make out.

Kathryn eyes look towards the ground where Cecile's hands

are now clutching the grass. Kathryn smiles and

continues her seduction.

She places her hand on Cecile's thigh and moves it under

her dress. Cecile lets out a soft sigh.

Kathryn breaks from the kiss. They look at each other

and smile.

KATHRYN (cont'd)

Not bad.

CECILE:

That was cool.

KATHRYN:

Maybe you should try it on your friend

Ronald sometime.

CECILE:

What are you saying?

KATHRYN:

Oh come on Cecile. He's crazy about

you.

CECILE:

Is it that obvious?

Kathryn nods.

CECILE (cont'd)

He sends me letters you know. Love

letters.

KATHRYN:

That's so romantic. Have you

responded?

CECILE:

No.

KATHRYN:

Well do you like him?

CECILE:

I don't know.

KATHRYN:

Cecile, we just made out in the middle

of Central Park. You can trust me.

CECILE:

(beat)

I do like him. I can't stop thinking

about him.

Cecile starts to cry. Kathryn hugs her.

CECILE (cont'd)

What am I going to do? If my mother

found out about Ronald she would kill

me.

Kathryn grabs her and looks her straight in the eye.

KATHRYN:

Listen to me. Your mother must never

know. Never.

CECILE:

Okay.

KATHRYN:

Did you hide the letters?

CECILE:

Yes. They're in this antique doll house

in my room.

KATHRYN:

I want you to make me copies of his

letters and bring them to me.

CECILE:

Why?

KATHRYN:

Cecile if there's one thing I'm great

at it's love letters. With my help,

he'll be eating out of the palm of

your hand. Perhaps we can arrange a

little get together for the two of you

at my house.

CECILE:

You'd do that for me?

KATHRYN:

Of course I would. We're friends,

right?

CECILE:

Best friends.

Cecile kisses her on the cheek and hugs Kathryn.
