The Rules of Attraction Page #7

Synopsis: Camden College. Sean Bateman is the younger brother of depraved Wall Street broker Patrick Bateman. He's also a drug dealer who owes a lot of money to "fellow" dealer Rupert Guest, as well as a well-known womanizer, for he sleeps with nearly half of the female population on campus. Lauren Hynde is, technically, a virgin. She's saving herself for her shallow boyfriend, Victor Johnson, who's left the States to backpack across Europe. Her slutty roommate, Lara, has the hots for Victor as well. Paul Denton, who used to date Lauren, is openly bisexual and attracted to Mitchell Allen, who's dating Candice to prove to Paul that he's not gay. Sean loves Lauren. Paul loves Sean. And Lauren may love Sean.

What does that mean, know me? Know me.

Nobody knows anyone else ever!

You will never ever know me.

Oh, sh*t!

You do not know what a drag it is

to see you right now!

Um...um...

Yeah...um...

Yeah, you smell really good, but I...

..I don't know who you are.

- Victor, shut up, it's me.

- Oh...of course.

How are...y-you?

How long have you been here?

Why haven't you called?

This is embarrassing. I'm sorry, I don't have

the slightest idea who you are right now.

Really, it's...it's totally blank. I...I...

- Yeah, it is.

- Should I know you?

It's great seeing you, really.

Looks like it's gonna be a cold one.

You know, I find myself talking to you

when you're not even around.

- Just...carrying on conversations.

- I wish you wouldn't tell me sh*t like that.

- But, Sean, I don't...

- I don't wanna be with you.

What do you mean? No, I just...

..wanna know you, I just wanna who you are.

No one'll ever know anyone.

- You're not ever gonna know me.

- What the hell does that mean?

It means, Paul, you're not ever gonna know me.

Figure it out. Deal with it.

F*** you, Bateman.

F*** you, Bateman!

F*** you!

[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]

Welcome to Buford T Pusser County.

You wanna f*** with me? I'll show you f***ing!

- Bust my arm up, motherf***er!

- You hear what Guest said?!

- I have your money! My brother wired it!

- You got the money? It was that easy?!

F*** you, motherf***er!

How are you, Miss Hynde?

OK.

How have you been...Mr Denton?

OK.

He really likes you.

That's great.

- Listen, were you putting notes in his box?

- Whose box?

I thought you were putting notes in his box.

Purple ones. Love letters.

No, I didn't put notes into anybody's box.

You didn't?

Wrong person.

Wasn't me.

- Then there's someone else.

- Doesn't matter, anyway.

Not to people like him.

Not to people like us.

[SEAN] I started driving faster

as I left the college behind.

I didn't know where I was going.

Someplace unoccupied, I hoped.

I thought there were things about her

I'd never forget,

but in the end, all l could think about was...

[ERASURE] We'll be together again

I've been waiting for a long time

We're gonna be,

we're gonna be together again

I've been connected to the right line

We'll be together

and nobody ain't never gonna disconnect us

Or ever separate us

or say to us you've got to

Stop! Stand there where you are

before you go too far

Before you make a fool out of love

Stop! Don't jump before you look,

get hung up on a hook

Before you make a fool out of love

We'll be together again

I've been waiting for a long time

We're gonna be,

we're gonna be together again

I've been connected to the right line

We'll be together

and nobody ain't never gonna disconnect us

Or ever separate us

or say to us you've got to

Stop! Stand there where you are

before you go too far

Before you make a fool out of love

Stop! Don't jump before you look,

get hung up on a hook

Before you make a fool out of love

We'll be together

and nobody ain't never gonna disconnect us

Or ever separate us

or say to us you've got to

Stop! Stand there where you are

before you go too far

Before you make a fool out of love

Stop! Don't jump before you look,

get hung up on a hook

Before you make a fool out of love

Stop! Stand there where you are

before you go far

Before you make a fool out of love

Stop! Don't jump before you look,

get hung up on a hook

Before you make a fool out of love

Stop! Stand there where you are

before you go too far...

[RADlO JINGLE] WTNE for music!

Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh

Oooh, oooh, ooooh

Oooh

You are the one, you make it happen

The things you do are totally planned

You are the one, you're so in charge now

You're going to make a stand, make a stand

The way you speak when people meet you

It makes them want to share your goal

You're number one in every region

You know you're in control, in control

You are the one, you make it happen

The things you do are totally planned

You are the one, you're so in charge now

You're going to make a stand, make a stand
