The Rules of Attraction Page #5
- How are you liking that, Dick?
- Mmm, mmm!
Yeah! Mmmm!
How do you like that?
- What has happened to you?
- What do you mean? What do YOU think?
- I can see what that school has done.
- Maybe Paul and I should go...
- No! No, no!
- No?
- If anyone's going to leave, it's Richard.
- [SHOUTS] It's Dick!
- All right, leave the table now, Richard.
- Why?!
Wh-h-h-h-hy?
I am asking you to leave the table now.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
[HIGH-PITCHED VOICE]
I will not leave the table, no! No!
Leave the table!
Well, f*** yo-o-o-o-o-u!
And f*** you and f*** you, pretty boy!
And f*** you all very much!
I'm outta here.
Have a good one!
[LAUGHS TO HIMSELF]
Ahem.
Oh, everything's fine now.
I-I'm really terribly sorry.
- Are you sure?
- Oh, positive.
- My son isn't well.
- Yeah.
He's, well, not well. He's been under
a lot of stress with midterms starting.
I would like another Vodka...Collins.
Eve, would you like anything?
- Yes...uh... Well, I mean no, no.
- Oh, go ahead.
- Well...
- Get her another one. Please.
- Thank you, Paul.
- Sure, Mom.
You know...I think my next car..
- ..is going to be blue.
- Mmm!
Blue. A very dark blue.
What do you think, Paul?
Blue.
[THICKE] Baby girl, where you at?
Got no strings, got men attached
Can't stop that feeling for long, no
You're makin' dogs wanna beg
Breaking them off your fancy legs
But they make you feel right at home now
All these illusions just take us too long
And I want it bad
Because you walk pretty, because
you talk pretty, 'cause you make me sick
And I'm not leaving till you're leaving
Oh, I swear there's something
when she's pumping
Asking for a raise
But she told me to carry her home...
[LARA INHALES]
Those are grown in sh*t.
- Thank God you're still dealing.
- Where's Lauren?
She's out of town.
Do you have a thing for her?
She won't put out. You know that. She's got
this little boyfriend she's saving herself for.
- You're wasting time and wasting money.
- She's got a boyfriend?
All these intrusions just take us too long
and I want you so bad
Because you walk city, because you talk city,
'cause you make me sick...
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!
[LARA GASPS]
Hi, Sean.
Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop, don't stop!
Come on, come on, come on, come on!
[SEAN] Disillusionment strikes.
After all my pining for Lauren,
this, her room-mate.
Inevitable conclusion.
It's like bad poetry. And then what?
- Ohh, God!
- I'm still hard so I keep on going.
She's groaning now. Humping up, down, up.
Is it ever gonna end?
I should never have done this.
- I should have kept it innocent.
- God!
- Oh, yeah!
- I put my hand over her mouth.
She comes, licking my palm, snorting.
It's over.
Kleenex.
What's wrong? I told you I came.
I was born in a Holiday Inn.
Better that it's not Lauren. Note to self:
never 'shroom again. Gets you in trouble.
[GIRL] This is my last letter
because I'll never have you.
I stood and watched you go off with her.
She's so beneath you.
You probably did it to hurt me. It worked,
you hurt me. There's nothing else I can do.
There won't be any more notes.
It's last call.
[HARRY NILSSON]
No, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile,
but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it sho-ows
No, I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
When I had you there, but then I let you go
And now it's only fair that I should let you know
What you should know
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give any more
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't give
I can't give any more
Well, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile,
but in your eyes your sorrow shows...
[MUSIC DISTORTS]
I can't live
I can't give
I can't give any more
I can't live
l can't give...
I only did it with her
because I'm in love with you.
[SOBS]
[GIRLS SOBBING]
Lauren, I love you.
Lauren...
- Lauren...
- Leave!
Since when does f***ing somebody else
mean I'm not faithful to you?! Lauren...
She's not ever gonna want to see you again.
Face it...you are f***ed up.
[PHONE RINGS]
[PHONE CONTINUES RINGING]
- Hello?
- Hello?
- Hello?
- Bertrand?
- Bertrand's not in.
- This is Jean-Jacques. Hello?
[POP TUNE] La la la la la
la la-la la la la, la la la la-la la la...
[POP TUNE CONTINUES IN BACKGROUND]
Lauren.
Ahhh!
F***! F***!
Dammit!
[POP TUNE] ..you'll find that you've been
sent to hell! La la la la-la la la la la-la la...

I could be wrong
I could be right
I could be wrong
I could be wrong, I could be right
I could be black, I could be white
I could be right, I could be wrong
I could be white, I could be black
Your time has come, your second skin
The cost so high, the gain so low...
Sean?
May the road rise with you
May the road rise with you
May the road rise with you
May the road rise with you...
Gotcha!
You're so sad.
Sean, you're sick.
Hey...wait a minute! What...
I could be wrong, I could be right
I could be wrong, I could be right
I could be black, l could be white...
[LAUREN SOBS]
Took a charter flight to London. Took a cab
to the city centre. Hostels are pretty ugly.
I'm staying at Home House,
the most beautiful hotel in the world.
A couple of Brits take me to Camden Street,
I flirt at Virgin, then follow girls with pink hair.
I wandered around trying to get laid
until it started to rain.
I go to Rem Forum, but it's gay night.
I find the one hetero girl in the place.
At Home House,
I strip her clothes off and we f***.
Met the world's biggest DJ, Paul Oakenfold,
wrote my mom a postcard I never sent.
Bought some speed, smoked a lot of hash
that had too much tobacco in it.
Saw the Tate, Big Ben, ate weird English
food. It rained a lot so I quit for Amsterdam.
The Dutch know English, which was a relief.
I cruise the Red Light District,
visit a sex show, smoke a lot of hash.
Meet a Dutch actress, we drink absinthe
at a bar called Absinthe. Museums were cool.
Bought a lot of pastries, ate waffles.
Bought some coke, met some blonde that
reminds me of Lara, gave her 1 00 guilders.
I come between her tits
even though I'm wearing a rubber.
Afterwards we talked about AIDS.
I wake to the sound of a wino singing.
I pretend to ice skate around Centraal
Station. Trade songs with a Kiwi girl.
Then split for Paris by train.
I climb the Eiffel Tower for only 7 francs.
Went to a Ford Model party,
hooked up with a Romanian model.
