The Rules of Attraction Page #3

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.

if we won't burn together, I'll burn alone."

This, this is stranger than I ever thought

What... How she do that?

- What's goin' on?

- Gonna have to sell that bike of yours!

- Why?

- Where's my money, college boy?!

- Do you take American Express?

- That's not funny!

You like that? They taught it in the army.

One of 17 hand-to-hand combat methods

of rendering your enemy defenceless.

All I gotta do is apply pressure

to rip your carpals free from your metacarpals

and you will be unable to operate your weapon!

I'm not your enemy, Rupert,

I don't have a weapon.

That's why you get a little time, homes.

- Do you want some coke?

- Sure.

Then buy your own, b*tch! Get the f***

outta my crib and get me my money!

There's an orgy tonight at Booth House.

I'm scoring for some freshmen. They're rich,

they want cocaine. What do you think?

I think you're a rich motherfucking motherf***er

who owes me a f***ing shitload

of motherfucking cash!

That's what I think, you rich motherf***er!

You want some blow, motherf***er?

You bring me my motherfucking cash!

- F*** you!

- Jesus f***ing Christ, don't get so tense!

I'll show you tense!

You're into me for a fuckload of money!

I think you

and your motherfucking rich-kid friends

are gonna take off to all your rich-ass lives,

leaving me holding my motherfucking dick!

So f*** you!

Rupert, I'm not like those rich a**holes!

I'm on financial aid!

I'm from a f***ing farm in Nebraska!

My family had to sell the f***ing cow

to get me here!

- Bullshit!

- My father's in the hospital, OK? I...

My family's strapped for cash.

I might have to drop out.

- Really?

- The Lord is my witness, yes.

- You don't have any f***ing cash?

- No.

I had to work all summer just to pay for this term.

I thought you went home to New York

for the summer.

That's what I told people

so they wouldn't laugh at me.

I actually had to wash pigs all summer.

Jesus Christ, man, I can get these kids

to overpay. They're desperate for drugs.

I'm your key to moving this sh*t. You need me.

I need the cash. We need each other.

Get this straight, fuckhead! I need you like

I need a motherfucking a**hole on my elbow!

Right here! An a**hole!

That's how much I need you!

- What you think, Guest?

- I think you should sniff less cocaine.

Stop leaving the gun lying around on the table.

Leave the boy alone before him piss in panty!

[GUEST CHUCKLES]

You know I'm just f***in' with you, baby, right?

Right.

[SNIFFS LOUDLY]

What kind of mark-up you think you can get?

- Well, that depends on how stepped-on it is.

- Stepped on? Guest, is our sh*t stepped-on?

No, man, it fresher than the morning snow!
