Quick glance at Elena who rolls her eyes...

KRISTEN:

But that's not what brings me here today.

When I heard about Principal Mosster's

sex education program I thought I'd

volunteer my own personal story, in hopes

that you might learn from the mistakes I

made. Back in High school all I wanted to

do was get drunk, stoned and laid...

The students roar their approval.

KRISTEN:

By my junior year, my life was a blur of

cheap beer, anonymous sex, partying every

night of the week...

Elena covers her mouth, as if to cough...

ELENA:

(through fake coughs)

...whore...

Kristen ignores the slur.

"Wild Things 3" 03/22/2004 5.

KRISTEN:

And then, one night at some pathetic frat

party, someone slipped a roofie in my

drink...and raped me.

This quiets the auditorium.

KRISTEN:

There isn't a day goes by my skin doesn't

crawl when I think of the violation and

humiliation I endured. I can promise you

that if you make the same kind of wrongheaded

choices I did, you'll be seeing

Dr. Borman...

Chad steps to the podium.

CHAD:

Thank you, Miss Richards. My name's Dr.

Chad Borman. I run the forensics lab at

the police department, where my work has

helped convict hundreds of sex offenders.

Most teens like Ms. Richards never get

their lives together. The physical scars

may go away, but the emotional damage

stays forever.

While Chad drones on, MUDDY, a Gremlin-eyed drooler, sitting in

front of Elena, looks back at her shapely legs as she puts them up

on the back of the chair. He spots the ugly plastic bracelet

locked around one of her ankles.

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...
