Ginger and Cinnamon Page #3

You have to be way patient!

Tell me about it.

He's not coming.

It's 4:
15.

- It's late!

- It's early!

I'm tired.

Let's go to bed.

Go ahead!

I'm like a total loser!

I'm only into one guy on this island.

And he stood me up!

He could have told me!

Men are never upfront with you.

In eight years Andrea couldn't say no.

Always vague about everything.

Let's change islands.

They're either too young

or too shitty around here.

You want me to pack my bags

because some jerk stood you up?

- Yes.

- Right.

What's up?

Hey, Potato Head.

Sorry I couldn't make it last night.

- Where?

- Out to the square.

- You said you'd come too.

- Ah, the square.

I was busy.

- Well, later.

- Later.

Did you call me?

No.

- I got a present for you.

- For me?

Meggy will never read it.

Isn't it all descriptions?

No, the title is sad.

A best-seller title would be

"The Loves of Young Werther".

We always have to read books

about teen angst.

- What's the deal?

- What do you think?

I know, we're young...

You know what it's going to say.

"Young people think life is so bad,

enjoy it while you can!"

In one ear and out the other!

Five more kilometers?

There's no way, the sun's too hot.

It's Homer's tomb!

Bart, Lisa and Marge

might be there!

What are you talking about?

Don't you know "Odyssey"?

- Don't you know "The Simpsons"?

- What about them?

We'll see the tomb another time.

It's not a tomb, it's a cenotaph.

All this way

and it's not even a tomb.

Cenotaph, an empty tomb!

Oh, it was a joke.

Keep reading, geek.

Maybe you'll learn something!

- F*** you!

- You'd like that!

Pippo makes me sick!

Virgin is written all over his face.

You look like you're going

to a porn star convention!

I wish I was!

Maybe Aeneas would be nicer to me.

Wait! You're always running.

Not existing just sucks!

I don't exist for him.

I'm invisible!

He called me "Potato Head"!

So?

It's a term of endearment.

Know what he talked about?

Cartoons!

What will his next topic be?

Barbie?

I gave up cartoons a whole year ago!

What's wrong with cartoons?

Guys grow up slower.

I don't even know his cartoons!

Who's the Hair Bear Bunch?

The three bears on

an invisible motorcycle!

It was on when I was little.

That was years ago!

I used to watch it.

How can this kid know about it?

- How old is this Aeneas?

- Don't know and don't care.

Well, I do!

It won't work if he's too old.

Catherine Zeta-Jones is 30 years younger

than Michael Douglas.

The art world doesn't count.

Aeneas is an artist.

He's a killer drawer!

he's experienced.

When you were coming out

of your mother's uterus,

he was already trying

to get in someone else's!

- Like I care.

- Well, the law does!

Emotions obey no law!

- He's from a different generation.

- Like who cares?

He had to get up to change

the TV station!

- Why?

- There were no remote controls yet!

Shut up!

He's not here!

Hear that?

He said you're beautiful.

When he comes,

don't say you're my aunt.

Say you're my cousin.

No, say you're my friend.

No, stand over there

and scope him out.

Then tell me what you think later.

Get moving.

Andrea and I broke up

exactly ten days ago.

As if anyone cared!

Great!

Sun rash.

It's your fault!

I told you the sun is too hot

at this time of day.

- You know what this means?

- You can't lay out anymore.

You ruined my vacation!

It's Meggy!

Is there a porn star convention

on the island?

No, I'm going to Shooters.

That's a club.

You go there at night.

I am always ready ahead of time.

Aren't you going?

Maybe, I don't know.

- Where are you going now?

- Swimming.

- If you wanna come...

- I'm not wearing my suit!

Well, see you.

When will I see you again?

Maybe tonight at Shooters.

Late, though.

Or we'll run into each other,

it's a small island.

Later, Potato Head.

I have light eruption!

Now I have to go out at night

and sleep during the day.

- Wanna dance?

- I quit dancing.

It should be illegal at a certain age

and over a certain waist size!

This music isn't really...

- Is that ecstasy?

- Antihistamine.

Are all guys like this?

They're all:
"I'll be there",

then they never show up?

Guys will promise anything.

They'll take you places,

take the trash out...

Once they get what they want...

see ya!

I'm a loser!

I didn't get to enjoy the first part.

Are we sure this Aeneas really exists?

Now I'll never see him!

Let's find out...

Aeneas?

- Meggy's here!

- Clam up!

Are you angry?

I thought you were "way mature".

You humiliated me in public!

I was just trying to help.

You're the one who needs help!

Your problem is that

you do everything backwards.

Dessert before salad.

Sex before love.

You're my problem,

and you're clueless about yourself!

- And how am I?

- You're anal!

I can imagine you and Andrea boinking.

"You're messing up my hair,

you're hurting my back!"

"My chiropractor said

I can't do that position!"

I bet you only do the missionary.

- Admit it!

- Men like to feel dominant!

Andrea dumped you

for that Magliocchetti chick,

who boinks 100 times better

than you!

I doubt he does

the same things with her.

Like what?

Foreplay?

Did he discover

your erogenous zones?

Your G-spot?

It was something only we did.

Clean up your mess!

- What was it?

- Not now. It's late.

You can sleep when you're old,

but I need sleep now.

Duh, you need to sleep!

You're way mature for your age!

F*** off!

Breakfast!

Sorry about what I said last night.

You're right.

I do everything backwards.

But I still think you're anal.

- Do you know what I do before sex?

- What?

- I fold my clothes.

- Shut up!

- God, you're a nutcase.

- I know.

I try to lighten up but I just can't.

Change.

I don't know how.

You totally lie to yourself.

You pretend you're on this major diet,

but you eat whatever you want.

You're all:

"Chocolate makes you lose weight".

Half a piece is way less fattening!

You say you're a loser.

This is the best time of your life!

Being 15 sucks!

Wait till you're 30!

Peace?

- I love you, Auntie.

- Me too.

I thought about this creep you like.

Give up.

There are two kinds of women.

Ones who get serious

with the wrong guy... like me.

And those who never date because

they want unattainable guys, like you.

Why is Aeneas unattainable?

You have nothing to talk about.

People should have things

in common.

Like I care!

I just like his body!

Maybe he wants more.

You can leave...

You mean he's not attracted to me?

Maybe he needs

a connection with you.

A similar cultural background

is important.

Andrea and I grew up in the 80's

so we liked the same things.

He fell in love with me because

I cried watching "Facts of Life".

We used to watch the same TV shows.

"Little House on the Prairie".

"Three's Company", "Bewitched".

"Eight Is Enough".

"Fantasy Island"!

What do you say,

I could get my navel pierced!

It's hard to talk about the 80's.

That was the best decade ever

and it's over.
