Hi, I'm from Brazil and I'm learning English...
I was reading an article on Wikipedia.org and I saw the phrase:
"Assuming they slept together Paul rushes Becky out of his apartment and hopes never to see her again."
I came here to find the correct meaning of rush out. I thought many things...
Could someone help me?
Thanks.

Well, I'm not a teacher, but I think it is not a phrasal verb.
You can rush someone, that's ok. Then, you say "out " to express where are you rushing them to (outside).
Paul rushes Becky out. He could as well have rushed her in, it does not change the meaning of the verb.
;)
That meaning of rush out means the make someone leave hastily.
