Wild Child Page #2

Synopsis: Since Malibu brat Poppy Moore's mom passed away, she has pushed her rich, usually absent dad Gerry shamelessly. When his patience wears out, she's shipped off to her mother's former English boarding school for girls, Abbey Mount. On her first day she makes enemies of most dorm mates, especially dominant lacrosse school captain Harriet, and the school's principal Mrs. Kingsley. Unwilling to accept the strict regime, she decides to misbehave and take the blame for everyone until she's dismissed. The school only appealing feature for her is Kingsley's dashing son Freddie. When the dream prince transfers his favor from ambitious, uptight Harriet to unruly Poppy, that changes everything.

versus the Rolex,

the Wagon Wheel is going to

trounce it every time.

- What's a Wagon Wheel?

Jesu Christi, you

have not lived.

Ew.

- That's carbs and sugar.

What a revelation.

I had no idea.

- What the bleep is that?

None of your

bleeping business.

It's an iPhone.

Good luck getting a

signal. We only have...

two hot spots that

work round here.

Maybe you should try entering

the 21st century, Buck Rogers.

This place is medieval.

It's imperative that

I make my phone calls.

It's pointless anyway.

We're only allowed

mobiles on weekends.

How am I supposed to

call my therapist?

She's joking, right?

Oh, sweetheart,

this is not Beverly

Hills, 90210.

Just put it away before

Matron catches you.

- Where's your trunk?

- Hasn't been delivered yet.

No.

No, no, no. Not the

new season Gucci. No.

The Choos. No.

This is all only

hand-washable.

This is ridiculous.

- Why...

- What? I might get thirsty.

You know, in the

UK we have this...

amazing thing.

It's called a tap.

Welcome back, girls.

Oh, good, staff. How quickly...

can you get all

this stuff cleaned?

- Is she...

- American.

Oh, yes, we had one

of those in 1997.

Not good.

Accustom her to my

rules, and she should...

be in the correct

uniform for a start.

Mobile phones, please, girls.

Thank you, Kiki.

Thank you, Josie.

Thank you, Kate.

Whoa. Hands off, mama.

I said, hands off.

I am Scottish, not remedial.

Good, then you understand.

Line dry, press, no

starch, and no creases.

How dare you? No

mufti for a week.

Fine. Mufti may be

your thing, lady,

but it sure ain't mine.

- She means no home

clothes for a week.

Like I give a sh*t.

- I'll be gone by then.

- Language.

Two Sundays detention.

For the whole dorm.

I'll deal with this.

Look, hey. Hey.

Here's a Ben Franklin.

Why don't you go out

and buy yourself...

Well, anything.

Whatever you get...

will be a serious improvement.

Three Sundays. For everyone.

- Thanks a lot for

that, you utter moron.

What are you, mental?

What? She was a

grade one a-hole...

with a severe

attitudinal problem.

The bell's going

to go in a minute.

Just put your uniform on.

Now.

You will never get away

with that uniform, for start,

and FYI, no

drinking, no smoking,

no alcohol.

No fireworks, no

dangerous weapons,

no illegal drugs.

If you have a

problem with someone,

no random bitching.

Structure your point.

No Web surfing, no bullying.

So, if you behave

like an arsehole,

we all suffer, so do not

get us in your sh*t...

- or we will break you.

- Oh, I'm scared.

- Hi, Kate. Hi, how

are you? Hi, Kate.

Hello.

What are you, like,

prom queen or something?

Kate's got a

terrible affliction.
