Taboo Page #2

Synopsis: When Christian Turner gathers together his fiancée Elizabeth and their friends Adam, Benjamin, Piper and Katie to celebrate their high-school graduation, they play the cheeky card game 'taboo' which anonymously confides their secret vices to paper. The following year Christian inherits the grand estate and invites them back for New Year's Eve. This time the games are far more serious, but go way weirder then anyone planned, with several unexpected twists.

for investment banking.

You're creative, and banking's

just about money and power, so....

What are you gonna do now?

lnvestment banking...

...at a firm where l'll make more money

and have more power.

What about you, Adam? How's Boston

and law school treating you?

Law school sucks.

l miss New York.

-Why?

-There's not enough hookers in Boston.

-lt's a f***ing Catholic city.

-Good drinkers though, right?

This is true. But what good is getting

drunk if you can't get a hooker?

-Piper, how's everything--?

-Elizabeth. l know what you're doing.

Trying to make polite, grown-up talk.

Stop. We hate it.

l'm sure we'd prefer uncomfortable

silence and shocking statements...

...to tiresome pleasantries

and chitchat banter.

-Well said. A mouthful, but well said.

-What do you want to talk about, then?

-Dirt.

-Gossip.

l like rumors. Anyone have any?

Benjamin and l are breaking up.

No sh*t. And why is that?

Benji?

lt's because my penis is too big.

Yeah, it is.

Somebody rained on you.

Got a package marked

''personal and confidential.''

l didn't think anyone delivered

on New Year's after midnight.

-Well, it's here.

-Well, what is it?

Christian, what is it?

''Prostitute. lnfidel.

Homosexual.

Rapist. Hypocrite.''

Which one of you did this?

Let me see those.

-Who sent it?

-There's no return address.

How do you know it's for you?

Let me see those.

Excuse me.

They're the answers to that

Taboo game we played.

They're not answers, Christian.

Those are accusations.

Somebody here is obviously

f***ing with us.

Who would be so juvenile?

Not it.

-l hated that game.

-There you go, Piper. Revenge.

Now, that's a good motive.

No, it's probably someone

who enjoyed the game...

...and now they want

to play round two.

l liked it. l didn't do this.

Well, l guess whoever isn't either

a prostitute, a rapist...

...a gay, an infidel or a hypocrite...

...is, you know, the likely candidate.

Right?

Can l, please?

l'm gonna get some more wine.

Hey, do you guys want red or white?

-A**hole. What are you doing?

-A**hole?

Elizabeth, that's not a very nice word

for you to use.

l wanted to ask you...

...why the f*** did you send

that package?

What makes you think l did that?

lt's because you think you're so much

better than the rest of us, don't you?

Elizabeth, we went out for, what,

two years, right?

And we slept together.... Never.

Not once.

You know you just think you're as pure

as the Virgin Mary, don't you?

That's not true.

l was wondering if you and Christian

were playing hide the sausage.

Wrong again. l'm waiting

till l get married and you know that.

-l'm going to scream.
