-l wonder which bedroom they used?

-Stop it.

The thing about old-money families is,

they can clean up any mess.

How dare you?

How dare l? Let me tell you

something, Elizabeth, okay?

l know the lengths people will go to

to protect their reputations.

You can take that as a threat.

Do you hear that thudding?

l think someone...

...is having sex

in the next room.

-Sounds like fun, doesn't it?

-No.

You don't think sex is fun?

l don't know.

You don't know?

Do you think Christian...

...would ever cheat on you?

No.

Do you think that he would have

a threesome with you and me?

No, he learned his lesson

last time with Kate and you.

l remember.

You know, like the notecard

and the mystery package.

lnfidel.

You drink too much.

No. l just get tipsy,

every now and then.

Now and then, every day.

You're a lush.

That's what you told Christian

to make him break up with me.

You're paranoid.

You told Christian that l was a slut.

That only a slut

would have a threesome.

-Or a drunk.

-So now l'm a drunk slut? Great.

Great. Wonderful. You know what?

l know what you've done.

l'm not as stupid as l look.

No, l think you have it backwards.

l think you don't look as stupid

as you really are.

God, you're just, like,

a f***ing piece of work.

Ditto.

Stupid, l'm not stupid.

Christian, what are you doing?

-Okay, Piper. Your turn.

-Question:

''Would you sleep with a person

of the same sex?'' Answer: ''Yes.''

Now it's getting fun.

-Where's Kate?

-l don't know. Why?

-She was the last one to see Benjamin.

-No, l was the last to see Benjamin.

Okay. Once again, another fact

that does not work in your favor.

Here's a little tip, honey.

Stay away from people that don't

like you and end up dead.

l'm gonna go look for Kate.

Elizabeth.

You've got this all wrong. l'm not

the person you need to be afraid of.

-Who should l be afraid of?

-Don't leave this room.

-Why?

-Because l said so, Elizabeth.

Don't answer the bedroom door

until you hear this knock.

What's going on?

-Nothing.

-Where's Benjamin?

He's taking a bubble bath.

Yeah? What are you guys

doing in here?

Where's Kate?

She's downstairs playing

with some of your daddy's old rifles.

-What do you think of my nightie?

-l don't.

Really? What about you, Elizabeth?

l think you should sit down.

Okay.

l'm going downstairs. Only open

the door if you hear me knock.

Hello.

The two of you are having fun,

aren't you?

Just two sorority sisters

talking about the good old times.

-Christian was looking for you.

-You look nervous.

Why is Benjamin taking so long?

Would you mind leaving us alone

for a minute? Piper?

Oh, you're right.

-Time for a refill.

-We should go downstairs together.

We should stay here. Have

a little chat. Just the two of us.

-Bye, Piper.

-Bye.

You can put an end to all of this,

Elizabeth. lt's all up to you.

What are you talking about?

We're all guilty as sin, okay?

Remember the little game we played?

l just don't think that we really

deserve what we got.

Sexual preference

and frequency...

...shouldn't be a matter

of life and death, should it?

-What's your point?

-The notecards?

Don't.

l know what you did, Elizabeth.

l know about you.

l know about you too. l know how you

can afford to live so extravagantly...

...even though you're broke

and officially unemployed.

You mean the money Benjamin

pays me to play his girlfriend...

...because he's scared his parents

will take away his inheritance...

...if they find out he's gay?

That money?

Whatever he pays you doesn't even

come close to covering your budget.

ls Prada a crime?

l mean, l hope not. Because good taste

is so damn expensive, Elizabeth.

But you know all about that, don't

you? You spend way more than l do.

But now you've gone and done it.

You've married money.

Congratulations....

Elizabeth!

No.

Damn it.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God!

Sh*t!

Your turn, Adam.

All right, the question is,

''Would you have a threesome?''

The answer is yes.

-Two girls, one guy?

-Does it matter?

Mr. Right-Wing Conservative there...

...looks like he might think

two girls would be fun.

Elizabeth.

Elizabeth.

Elizabeth!

Elizabeth!

Elizabeth, open up.

Elizabeth, hurry!

Elizabeth!

Don't shoot your eye out.

-What are you doing?

-Having a smoke.

Do you want one?

Oh, that's right, you don't smoke.

Good girls and vices

just don't mix, do they?

Where's Christian?

l heard a gunshot. What happened?

-Hair trigger, could've been killed.

-You still might.

l'll give you 1 0 seconds to tell me

where he is before l shoot you.

-Ten, nine, eight, seven...

-Don't pretend like you don't know.

-...six, five...

-You know where he is.

-...four, three, two, one.

-You guys murdered Adam and Benjamin!

l'd have told you it wasn't loaded

if you'd have asked.

Now, let's play a new game, okay?

You're not the one with the loaded gun,

so you're not calling the shots now.

Oh, l made a pun. l am feeling

very charitable at the moment...

...so l'll help you find Christian

if you play this game with me, okay?

-Then you won't find Christian.

-You've already killed him too.

Christian is alive and well.

But l'm gonna tell you some

information. l haven't killed anyone.

Yet.

Let's play the game.

Put this on.

Elizabeth, this is how the game

is played. Put it on.

You'll try and find Christian.

As you're getting closer...

...l'm gonna say

''warm,'' ''warmer,'' ''hot.''

When you go in the wrong direction,

l'll give a ''cold,'' ''colder,'' ''dead.''

You got it?

l'm gonna get you for this.

You already have, Elizabeth.

-You already have.

-What are you talking about?

You'll find out soon enough.

Okay, let's play.

Cold. Cold. Cold.

l'm losing my patience.

Okay, why don't l cheat for you.

Turn to the right.

There you go. Step to the side.

Another one. Go forward.

Forward.

Open the door.

There you go.

Forward.

Forward.

-Hurry. Hurry, hurry.

-l can't go any faster.

You afraid you might fall and go boom?

That would be awful.

lt would also be a f***ing accident.

Elizabeth, relax.

lf l wanted to kill

you, l'd have done it much earlier.

Have you thought more about

the mystery package?

-No.

-Really? Because, you see, l have.

Benjamin turned out to be gay, Adam's

the rapist and Piper's the infidel.

That leaves us and Christian to fight

over the prostitute and the hypocrite.

-Warm. Warmer. Colder!

-Sorry.

-Sorry.

-What was that? ''Sorry''? Wow.

That's a whole new word for you.

A new emotion. Way to go.

Very proud of you. Hurry.

Very warm.

-Christian?

-l didn't say ''hot.'' l said ''warm.''

Why are you doing this?

What did they ever do to you?

That's a good question.

Ever asked yourself that?

What have they ever done

to you, Elizabeth?

But then, this is all just a big,

fun, happy game, isn't it?

Warmer.

l think you've done it. Hot.

Oh, my God!

-What are you doing?

-Taking her body downstairs.

We have to do something with her.
