N o way --

Serena grabs the phone.

SERENA:

(into phone)

;;po you have The Rock yet?

Elle lies.

ELLE:

Almost.

SERENA:

Well, hurry up so you can come home! We

miss you!

ELLE:

I miss you guys! The people here are so

vile! Hardly anyone even talks to me

unless it's to say something that's not

nice. Law school sucks!

SERENA:

Oh, my God! I completely forgot to tell

you!

ELLE:

What?

SERENA:

I got bangs!

ELLE:

(hurt and annoyed)

Re a ll y --

Margot grabs the phone back.

MARGOT :

(into phone)

Keep June first open -- you're one of my

ELLE:

Margot hangs up and Elle follows suit. Even more deflated.

53 INT. ELLE'S DORM - HALLWAY - DAY - SAME TIME 53

Sarah and Claire walk past Elle's room, the door of which is

ajar.

SARAH:

It's not just any Halloween party. It's a

"Come as Your Favorite Defendant" party.

CLAIRE:

That-'s genius.

Elle pops her head out of the room.

ELLE:

(excited)

No way! Someone at this school is

actually having a party?

Sarah and Claire turn around. Elle's face falls when she

sees that it's them.

SARAH:

No.

CLAIRE:

You must've heard us wrong.

SARAH:

Sorry. Looks like you'll be staying home

ton ig ht. Alone.

They continue on as Elle goes back into her room, snubbed.

54 INT. ELLE'S DORM ROOM - CONTINUOUS 54

Elle shuts the door behind her and looks at Underdog.

ELLE:

I can't believe this. Not only do I not

The realization hits her hard. Underdog barks. She looks at him.

ELLE (CONT'D)

(continuing)

But I wasn't invited.

He barks again.

ELLE (CONT'D)

(continuing)

You really think I should?

55 EXT. OFF-CAMPUS HOUSE - PORCH - NIGHT 55

Two feet in high heels and fishnet hose stride purposefully

up the sidewalk. .

A perfect butt wearing a bunny tail wiggles up the steps.

56 INT. OFF-CAMPUS HOUSE - NIGHT 56

A party filled with people who are no fun to party with.

NAMETAGS denote which famous defendant everyone is dressed as.

Menenedez's, Tonya Harding's, and Buttafuco's pepper the room.

Elle, decked out in a Playboy Bunny costume -- looking sexy

as hell -- strides in. People roll their eyes and ignore

her. Elle continues on.

NEARBY -- Enid, dressed as Lizzie Borden, axe in hand/ is in

the midst of a tirade against some guy dressed like William

Kennedy Smith.

ENID:

The English language is all about subliminal

domination. Take the word "semester". It's a

perfect example of this school's

discriminatory preference of semen to

ovaries. That's why I ' m petitioning to have

next term be referred to as Winter Ovester.

The guy backs up in fright. As Elle passes, Enid looks over.

ENID (CONT'D)

(continuing)

Hey , Elle-- I've been meaning to ask you

(re her b*obs)

-- are those real?

Elle snorts.

ELLE:

Enid, please -- silicone is so 90's.

(CONTINUED)

She keeps walking.

57 INT. INTO THE LIVING ROOM - AT THE BAR -CONTINUOUS 57

Sa rah -- dressed as Hester Prynne -- and Claire --as Joan of

Arc -- sip wine.

ELLE:

(continuing; sarcastic)

Thanks for inviting me, girls. This party

is super fun.

They roll their eyes, checking out her Bunny costume.

SARAH:

You're supposed to be dressed as a famous

defendant.

Elle smiles at Sarah.

ELLE:

I am. Didn't you hear about the Playboy

Bunny who slit her ex- boyfriend's new

fiancee's throat with a broken wine

glass? It was tragic.

She grabs a glass of wine and moves on.

58 EXT. OFF-CAMPUS HOUSE - BACK PORCH - NIGHT 58

Elle walks onto the back porch and finds Warner --dressed as

O.J. in a USC football uniform, number 32, with a ball and

chain on his foot.

ELLE:

Hey, O.J.

Warner turns. He looks around for Sarah. Not seeing her, he

smiles at Elle, admiring her costume.

WARNER:

Wow. You're a walking felony.

ELLE:

Thank you. Having fun?

WARNER:

( c h e c k i n g her out)

Now I am.
