MUDDY:

That's not...what I think it is, is it?

ELENA:

Whattchya think it is, b*tch?

The words catch in his throat.

MUDDY:

One of them...Parole leashes...

ELENA:

Bingo.

MUDDY:

So you can't, like, go more than ten

miles from the cop shop?

Elena taps the flashing red light on the plastic bracelet.

"Wild Things 3" 03/22/2004 6.

ELENA:

Five. I got someone's panties in a bunch.

Back at the podium, Chad leans forward, making sure his words

resonate with the student body.

CHAD:

And as for the perpetrators of this

heinous act, even if you are still a

minor, you will be tried as an adult,

and, if convicted, you will do hard time.

He pauses to let the impact of this wash over the students.

CHAD:

Are there any questions?

ELENA:

(calling out)

Yeah, I got one for Miss Richards.

KRISTEN:

Ask away.

ELENA:

When they found the scumbag who took your

precious flower of virginity, you sued

his sorry ass, right?

Kristen is taken aback by Elena's insensitivity, stumbles over her

words, finally spitting out the sad, sorry truth...

KRISTEN:

Uh, no, actually, I was never able to

make a positive ID. All I remember was

his alcohol-soaked breath whispering in

my ear, "You won't remember, but you'll

never forget..."

Elena cracks a sideways grin...

ELENA:

So what you're really saying is you

f***ed for free...

Kristen has no answer to that. Principal Mosster does his best to

control the situation...

PRINCIPAL MOSSTER

Miss Sandoval. You're on thin ice, young

lady!

Like Elena cares. She leans back, nods. Job done.

EXT. BLUE BAY HIGH DIVING POOL - DAY

The bright Florida sunshine washes down on packed bleachers by the

side of the massive diving pool, where a diving meet is in full

swing...

ANNOUNCER (V.O.)

Blue Bay High School would like to

welcome all participating diving teams

from the tri-county region...

Breathtaking beauties from teams all over the region, in their

school colored bikinis, are scattered around the pool area.

But all eyes are on the home team. Masturbatory fantasies abound

as the Blue Bay Girls' Diving Team runs through stretches...

And as exquisite as these girls are, they pale in comparison to

absolutely sweet Marie, stunning in her nearly see-through white

bathing suit.

ANNOUNCER (V.O.)

First up, district champion Marie

Clifford...

The crowd cheers, watching Marie edge out to the diving platform

twenty feet above. Jenny right behind, waits on the ladder...

JAY CLIFFORD, Marie's chisel-jawed stepfather in his late

thirties, focuses a DIGITAL VIDEO CAMERA on Marie from the front

row of the bleachers...

JAY:

C'mon now baby, you can do it...

Marie just rolls her eyes.

JENNY:

Your stepfather's just got a lot invested

in the team.

Marie looks at her stepfather, nods tentatively, but then notices

the incongruous figure of Elena, sidling up to him...

JAY:

(to Marie)

Just try to keep those legs together.

ELENA (O.S.)

Shouldn't be a problem for Miss teen

Virgin.

"Wild Things 3" 03/22/2004 8.

Jay looks round, lowers the camera when he comes face to face with

the world's hottest towel girl...

JAY:

Excuse me?

ELENA:

You're Mr. Clifford, right? As in

Clifford construction?

.

JAY:

I am, yes, but...

ELENA:

I'd love to see one of your erections...

Whoa. Jay's lost for words as he diverts his attention to the

platform where Marie stands perfectly still before stepping into

the air.

It's a spectacular sight as the beautiful Marie completes a double

back flip, entering the water with near-perfect form. She quickly

resurfaces, climbs out of the pool and exchanges high fives with

her teammates before crossing to Jay.

JAY:

Nice take off, gotta work on the

landing...

MARIE:

I can't do any better...

Jay shakes a finger at her, silences her immediately.

JAY:

No such word as 'can't. Now do it again.

Only better...

Marie takes a deep breath, approaches the ladder once more. As

she's about to start the arduous climb, Elena hands her a towel...

ELENA:

Bet you choke.

Stops Marie in her tracks.

MARIE:

What's your major malfunction?

ELENA:

Just wanted to make a wager. Between best

friends.

"Wild Things 3" 03/22/2004 9.

Marie just starts to climb the ladder to the high dive platform.

ELENA:

You blow this dive, I get those diamonds

of yours.

Marie stops, looks down on Elena from the fifth rung of the

ladder, shakes her head...

MARIE:

How'd you know about my inheritance?

ELENA:

Talk of the town, birthday girl. Today's

the day, right?

MARIE:

And what, pray tell, are you willing to

wager when I win?

Elena thinks for a second, glances back at Jay with a big smile.

ELENA:

I'll stay away from your stepfather. You

make it, I won't be your new stepmom

anytime soon. Whattya say?

Marie just stands there incredulous for a moment.

.

MARIE:

Take your sorry ass back to the swamps.

She ascends the ladder, leaving Elena behind...

ELENA:

Choke!

Marie clambers up onto the high dive platform, tries to focus on

the task at hand. But can't help but notice her nemesis below,

walking slowly, seductively, up to Jay, intoxicating him...

Marie blocks out the distraction, concentrates at the task at

hand, stepping to the edge of the platform and the 20 foot drop

looming beyond...

She slides a ring off her finger, kisses it for luck. It's an odd

design. Four curved gold ridges, just ready to hold a Diamond...

She throws the ring into the pool ahead of her, the gold glinting

in the afternoon sunlight as it drops into the water, and a split

second before it breaks the surface, Marie is airborne...

"Wild Things 3" 03/22/2004 10.

She twists magnificently through the air, a sight of breathtaking

beauty. Thank God this is in slow motion.

And as she gets ever closer to the water's surface, she tucks,

does one last back flip, straightening out at the last possible

instant, slicing through the water with nary a splash.

Marie surfaces to roaring APPLAUSE. Treading water, she can't help

but watch her Jay's smiling face in the bleachers...

EXT. CLIFFORD MANSION - AFTERNOON

Sickeningly expensive POWERBOATS and de-rigged SCHOONERS line the

inlet leading to the verdant lawns of the Clifford Mansion...

Banners and streamers wishing Marie a happy birthday decorate the

grounds. Partygoers soak in the blazing Florida sun, sip at nonalcoholic

punch, and stare out gratefully across the thin stretch

of water that separates them from the riff-raff on the mainland...

Marie sits away from it all, lost in thought, as Jenny, in cutoffs

and a bikini top, sidles up beside her.

.

JENNY:

What's the matter, sweetie, pissed that

one judge only gave you a 9.7?

Marie forces a smile.
