INT. SUNSET PLAZA BOUTIQUE - DAY

Serena and Margot watch as Elle stands in front of a mirror,

trying on a Herve Leger white mini-dress. Sexy and ultra-

tight. ;

ELLE:

Too demure?

MARGOT:

I think you should go with red. It's the

color of confidence.

ELLE:

Well, I don't want to look like I know

what's coming. . .

SERENA:

I don't understand why you're completely

disregarding your signature color.

She holds up a tiny pink slipdress.

ELLE:

He's proposing! I can't look like I

would on any date. This is the date. The

night I'll always remember. I want to

look special. Bridal . . . but not like I

suspect anything.

ACROSS THE STORE

A SALESWOMAN looks at her cohort.

SALESWOMAN:

(sot.to)

There ' s nothing I love more than a dumb

blonde with daddy's plastic.

She grabs a dress off the Clearance Sale rack, ripping off

the "HALF PRICE" TAG.

ON ELLE AND THE GIRLS

. SERENA

I can't wait to see you wearing The Rock!

Elle looks at them, suddenly concerned.

ELLE:

Wh at if -- you know -- it's not the

night?

MARGOT:

Why else would he be taking you to The

Ivy? You've been dating for a year --

it's not like he's trying to impress you.

SERENA:

Elle, you've heard the man pass gas in

his sleep. That practically means you're

pre-engaged. '"

The Saleswoman approaches with the dress, kiss-assy smile on

her face.

SALESWOMAN:

Did you see this one? We just got it in

yesterday.

Elle fingers the dress, then the new price tag, looking back

at the saleswoman, excited.

ELLE:

Is this a low-viscosity rayon?

SALESWOMAN:

Uh, yes -- of course.

ELLE:

With half-loop top-stitching on the hem?

SALESWOMAN:

(smiling a lie)

Absolutely. It's one of a kind.

^ Elle hands the dress back to her, no longer pretending to be

excited.

ELLE:

It's impossible to use a half-loop

topstitch on low-viscosity rayon. It

would snag the fabric. And you didn't

just get this in, because I remember it

from the June Vogue a year ago, so if

you're trying to sell it to me at full

price, you picked the wrong girl.

The saleswoman slinks off, embarrassed.

MARGOT:

(to the saleswoman)

Nice try...

Elle shakes her head and turns back to the girls as she slips

on her Manolo Blahnik sandals, doing one last mirror check,

smoothing down her golden mane.

ELLE:

(dramatically)

Girls, this is it. In a few hours, I'll

be the future Mrs. Warner Huntington III.

5 EXT, DELTA GAMMA HOUSE - NIGHT

An attractive male finger presses the doorbell.

6 INT. DELTA GAMMA HOUSE - FOYER - NIGHT - SAME TIME

Amy peeks through the peephole and turns.

AMY:

(whispering)

He's here!

Elle, standing nearby with Margot and Serena and several

other DG's, smooths down her dress and takes a deep breath,

o pening the door to find --

WARNER HUNTINGTON, III, 21, tall, chiseled and outrageously

handsome. He takes her in, a smile spreading across his

face.

WARNER:

You're beautiful.

ELLE:

So are you!

She looks up at him, blushing and completely smitten. They

kiss. After a moment,-Warner extracts himself.

WARNER:

(nervous)

You ready?

Her face is awash with devotion.

ELLE:

I am so ready.

7 EXT. THE IVY - NIGHT

Warner and Elle are seated at a cozy table on the patio.

Elle takes a sip from her freshly poured champagne flute.

Nervous and excited.

ELLE:

Here' s to ~ us.

Warner is slower to sip his.

WARNER:

The reason I wanted to come here tonight

was to discuss our future.

Elle is on the edge of her seat.

ELLE:

I ' m fully amenable to that discussion.

WARNER:

I mean, we're having a lot of fun now --

but things are gonna be different when

I ' m at Harvard Law school is a completely

different world. I need to be serious.

ELLE:

Of course.

WARNER:

My family expects a lot from me. And I

expect a lot from me. I .plan on running

for office some day.

ELLE:

And I fully support that.

WA R N ER:

But the thing is, if I ' m gonna be a

senator by the time I ' m thirty -- I can't

keep dicking around.
