The Rules of Attraction Page #4

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.

Maybe 20% over market value.

that's some good motherfucking math!

I do believe we have ourselves a deal.

- Do we have ourselves a deal?

- Sure.

Good. Time for you to get to work.

Sometimes...a minute...

..will last...like an hour, you know...

or other times...

..an hour just...just...zips by...

..like a minute.

You know, it's all subjective.

Every person...

..perceives it...perceives it differently.

It's like... That's why you can't trust clocks,

you know.

Marc...you owe me 500 bucks.

I want it by Sunday.

OK?

You notice there aren't any clocks in my room

'cause they...they interfere with your ability to...

..to adjust the time to...

..to...to suit your needs, you know.

- Marc...

..my friend,

Oh! Oh! I...I can feel my dick!

I can feel my dick!

Hey! F***ing hey! What about the cash?!

- Marc, what about the f***ing cash?!

- What class...man?

Who teaches that? F***ing...

Just...go away, huh?

Just...stop bugging me, just stop asking me.

Stop kicking my f***ing bed.

Stop...you know...

I'll get you your f***...

Just don't f*** my karma, dude! Don't f*** it up!

Hi, Mitch. What's up?

Not very much. Uh, what's up with you?

Not much. Can we talk?

What do you wanna talk about?

I warned you. Remember that.

I know, I know.

Wait, what did you warn me about?

I warned you!

Wait, Mitch!

Mitch, don't be such a p*ssy!

I am warning you again!

I don't know what your f***ing problem is!

Just stay the f*** aw... Hey.

Hey, guys. Is there some sort of problem,

Paul and Mitchell?

No, I... You two know each other?

Yeah. Hi.

Hi. [SCREAMS]

Mitch, I'm kinda through partying tonight.

Do you want to...uh...

Come on.

Paul.

Right.

Her name is Candice.

- Really?

My type of guy!

F***ing keg's dead. Typical.

I wish I had a case of beer.
