SERENA AND MARGOT

What?!

ELLE:

.

He broke up with me!

Serena and Margot gasp in horror, rushing to her side.

SERENA:

Is it a Kappa?

MARGOT:

It's not a Theta --

ELLE:

No -- it's just -- not me.

I ' m canceling the mixer. We'll blacklist

Sigma Chi.

ELLE:

Thank you, Serena, but I don't think

it'll do any good.

SERENA:

What happened?

Elle starts to lose it again.

; ELLE

I don't know! Everything was normal at

first and then he said he needed someone

mo r e --

(sob-choked)

Serious! .

MARGOT:

S e r i o u s ? ! Who the hell does he think he

i s ? Y o u ' r e the most popu l a r month on the

U S C calendar!

S h e points to Elle's "Miss June" page, hanging on the wall.

SER EN A:

O h , he is so over on this campus.

ELLE:

I just don ' t underst a n d what went wrong --

MA RG OT:

Maybe it's the grandmother. Have you

e v e r me t he r ?

E l l e wipes her face.

ELLE:

Last month on his birthday. And she

liked me! She said I looked like Britney

Spears. Why would you say that to

someone you didn't like?

They shrug, mystified.

SERENA:

How could this happen?

ELLE:

I don't know! I don't know anything any

more!

(wiping a tear)

I just need to be by myself.

SERENA:

Are you sure?

Elle nods. The girls rise, hugging her.

MARGOT:

We still love you. Sisters forever!

ELLE:

(sniffling)

Thank you. I love you, too.

As they go, Margot looks at Serena.

MARGOT:

Oh, God. What if Josh doesn't think I ' m

serious enough? .

SERENA:

Helloo... you let him have anal sex with

you.

(TV VERSION)

Helloo... you let him videotape you

diddling yourself. ·

MARGOT:

You're right. Phew!

As the girls go, they shut the door behind them.

Elle gets up and grabs a FRAMED PHOTO of Warner, then lies

down on her bed, clutching it to her heart. Underdog leaps

up and gives her little doggy kisses.

12 EXT. DELTA GAMMA HOUSE - DAY 12

The sun rises on a sad day. "HOPELESSLY DEVOTED" by Olivia ·

Newton-John plays. .

13 INT. DELTA GAMMA HOUSE - HALLWAY - DAY 13

Amy knocks on Elle's door.

AMY:

Elle?

ANOTHER SISTER passes.

ANOTHER SISTER ·

(whispering)

Didn't you hear?

She leads a reluctant Amy down the hall.

14 INT. ELLE'S DELTA GAMMA ROOM - DAY 14

Spread out on the bed are PICTURES of Elle and Warner: The

Sigma Chi formal; their Homecoming Queen and King "wave";

a 60's party; Mardi Gras night; beach weekend at Coronado.

Next to the pictures are thirty dried Ecuardorian long-

stemmed pink roses, remnants of their one year anniversary.

In the center sits Elle, wearing Warner's old oversized Sigma

Chi t-shirt, clutching a Gund teddybear. Depressed and

looking like hell, she speaks to an unseen confidante.

ELLE:

I just love him so much! I loved him the

first moment I saw him. He's beautiful

and smart and someone I totally respect.

And I did everything I could to make him

love me, but it wasn't enough. Now what

am I supposed to do? I planned my whole

future around him. My life was going to

be all about Warner. Now what's it going

to be about?

She looks up -- waiting. Staring back at her is Underdog --

who sadly has no answers for her.

15 INT. ELLE'S DELTA GAMMA ROOM - DAY 15

Elle remains in bed, Underdog now clutched to her chest,

soaps on the TV.

TV SOAP STUD:

(on TV)

"Oh, darling. I'll love you forever."

ELLE:

(teary)

Bullshit!

Serena and Margot enter, bearing Jamba Juice.

MARGOT:

Honey, stop! You have to leave this room

-- it's been a week.

ELLE:

So?
