The Rules of Attraction Page #5

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.

- Tomorrow, then.

[ALARM CLOCK BEEPS]

[DONOVAN] Yellow is the colour

of my true love's hair

In the morning

When we rise

In the morning

When we rise

That's the time

I love the best...

- I got a class.

It's Saturday.

[ALARM BEEPS]

Merde! What is it? Turn off that f***ing thing!

Blue is the colour of the sky

In the morning

When we rise

[SNORING]

[FARTS]

Mellow is the feeling that I get

When I see her

Oh, yeah

That's the time

That's the time

I love the best

Freedom is a word I rarely use

Without thinking

Oh, yeah

Without thinking

Of the time

In the morning

- Hi.

- Hey. You here for that class?

- The tutorial on the post-modern condition?

- Yeah.

It was cancelled.

- Typical.

- Never seen you there before.

That's what's typical.

First time I showed up for it.

Yeah. You've got bad timing.

Saturdays suck ass. I don't have to put up

with this sh*t. I'm dropping this f***ing class.

- Yeah, me too.

- Really?

- Mm-hm. I think I'm gonna change my major.

- To what?

- I don't know yet. What's yours?

- I don't even know.

[SHE SIGHS]

- Your name's Sean Bateman, right?

- Right. Your name is Lauren.

Yeah. I bought pot from you last year.

It was good. A little seedy, though.

You used to go out with Paul Denton.

Yeah...before.

Show me your eyes.

When I see her

When I see her, oh, yeah...

Rock 'n' roll.

That's the time

That's the time

I love the best...

Maybe I'll see you at the next

Pre-Saturday Party Party...Sean Bateman.

Freedom is a word I rarely use

Without thinking

Oh, yeah

Without thinking

Of the time

Of the time

When I've been loved

M'sieur Hannibal m'mine le moral

Oh, my God, Harry tried to kill himself!

[PAUL] That is typical.

I knew something like this was gonna happen.

I just had a feeling there'd be some obstacle

to prevent my evening with Sean happening.

You gotta come to Fel's house. He's there.

Sh*t, Paul, we've got to do something!

That's way too gay.

Um...call Security.

Trust me, they'll be there within an hour.
