Ginger and Cinnamon Page #4

- Give me the cortisone.

- Do you itch?

No, just to keep you company.

You know what it reminds me of?

In school,

my friends and I

would practice what to say

to guys.

If you like a guy,

you had to use his words.

You had to say what

he wanted to hear.

For example?

Talking about old movies

was a winner.

- SAY IT IN MY WORDS

..."Love Story" was perfect.

Then what?

To talk about politics without being

political, you talked about punk music

being a counter-reaction

to Thatcher.

A real artist

has to have a nemesis.

I don't understand,

but it sounds great.

So I'm all:

"What if all he cares about

is physical attraction"?

Who?

You!

You are not paying attention!

You only use single syllable words!

Because I'm drawing!

Come over here and try.

It stimulates your artistic brain

and turns off your mouth.

Come on, here's a piece of paper.

Go ahead.

My brain must be in stereo.

I can draw and talk

at the same time!

I think it's way important to have

similar cultural backgrounds.

Let's talk about movies.

I think "Love Story" is great.

The book was good too.

Well, I saw the movie!

Maybe they wrote a book afterwards.

Comparing a book to a movie

is like totally absurd!

How about music?

Thatcher was like royally strict.

- She's not a school teacher.

- Okay, so I don't know who she is.

But punk music was a counter-reaction.

- A real artist has to...

- Have a nemesis.

Everyone says that.

What is this?

You want right-winged extremism

so you can

listen to revolutionary music

in your bedroom?

Pick another topic.

The 1980's!

- The 80's were horrible!

- You don't like anything!

What are we supposed to talk about?

You get one more chance.

TV shows.

The "Love Boat" rocked!

- And "Eight Is Enough".

- Girlie shows.

What about "Facts of Life"?

Could you get any more pathetic?

The best minds of my generation

were brainwashed by "Facts of Life".

- You feel all right?

- I'm fine.

You're getting sunstroke.

I can't go out like this.

Do I look fat here?

No, it makes you look younger!

- So I look like my grandma?

- Let's play a game.

I think of a question in my head

and find the answer in a book.

- What kind of game is that?

- You'll see.

First question.

Answer.

"A 20-minute orgasm".

Here we are!

- Massage and stimulation...

- Are you insinuating something?

- Of course!

- Is that all you men think about?

- This is the island of love!

- Sex is highly overrated!

Because you've had it.

For me it's just highly rated!

I just got out of a long relationship.

Let's...

Let's just be friends, okay?

Know who I am?

Every woman's best friend!

Does a guy become an enemy

after he has sex?

Where's the logic?

We can do it and still be friends.

Listen.

You'll make up for it at 50.

When you're friends are

old and gray!

You will still be handsome.

God, were you about to boink?

Yeah, maybe in 34 years!

Then you can wait,

this is way more important.

Okay, we're like a couple now.

We argued for an hour.

He hates "The Young Werther",

the book you both love!

Sorry for the interruption.

The storm has passed,

let love come shining through!

This kid hates "Werther"

but at least he read it!

I would tell Andrea the plot

then he'd act like he read it.

You may be from the 80's

but you don't understand sh*t!

You men always bail out of promises.

Like what?

You say you'll take the trash out

or whatever, then...

Are you all carbon copies?

You all say the same things!

Women are the ones

who don't keep promises.

You never diet the first two months.

Then you're allergic to this,

that's too fattening...

I'm not like that.

I'm totally straight-up!

Not you, women in general.

My teacher was like that

when I was still in school.

She'd be all:
"Someone is talking".

Then she'd be all:

"It's Vittorio Passarelli"!

Who are you thinking about?

Come on, tell me!

There must be 800 calories in this.

I have a royal problem.

Guess who I remind him of?

- Who?

- His ex!

- His ex?

- Yes, he's still into her.

He got all sad as soon as

he mentioned her.

Then you have to find a way

to destroy her!

- Groovy, you're on my side!

- It's a matter of principle.

You have to ruin the image

of ex-girlfriends early on.

They forget about their faults

in time

and no other woman

can ever live up to them!

How can I ruin someone

I don't even know?

Did he say anything about her?

What was she like?

She was thin

but thought she was fat!

Those girls who try clothes on and say:

"I look fat"

just so someone says

they're not.

I detest them!

There's only one way

to define girls like that, a b*tch!

Just like all ex's!

We'll totally destroy her.

I've already figured her out.

Find out what you can.

I'll handle it, I'll take care of her.

Where are you going?

- To sleep.

- It's 9:
30, it's early!

Aeneas gets up at 7.

We like enjoying the day together.

Didn't you notice?

- Awesome! New clothes!

- No, they're yours!

It makes you look younger!

I wanna know everything

about your past and your ex.

It will help me know you better.

- What?

- It will help me know you better.

Differences.

I'd lose things

and she'd always find them.

I'd run out of money

and she has a hidden stash.

I sleep at night

and she stays awake.

I have a headache

and she shows up with aspirin.

She likes mountains,

I like the sea.

She's...

and I'm...

She goes...

and I go...

You couldn't really agree

on anything!

Not really.

At first we cherished our differences.

We thought they would enrich us.

Then she suddenly decided

we had to be the same.

I had to be just like her.

You don't know her,

being like her is...

I would never dream

of changing you!

I've got a lot of ideas and plans.

She'd cut them all down.

I'd tell her about an idea

and she'd say:
"No".

No to everything!

I am the queen

of recognizing hip ideas!

All of my CD's are

at the top of the charts.

- Hit me.

- What?

- Tell me an idea!

- Just like that?

- Come on, man!

- I don't know, nothing comes to me.

- Come on!

- All right.

I write them in here.

You never know.

I might need them someday.

How about this one...

I could open a store...

No, not this one.

This one has already been done.

Really?

No way!

Listen to this one.

This sounds stupid.

I'm a guy who...

I think you're a total genius.

Oh my God, he sells ideas!

Who doesn't?

Andrea tried to, too.

He wasn't good at it because

he wasn't self-confident.

I kept telling him.

How cute, they're making love!

I think I like this Aeneas!

He sounds perfect for me.

- Friends don't steal boyfriends!

- I know!

But he sounds really cool.

And he went out with a b*tch.

It figures!

Two nice people never go out.

It's always one good

and one bad person.

That's why I went out with Andrea.

What else did he say?

She wanted to change him into her.

No, the classic mistake!

You can't change people.

But he stayed himself.

- And the b*tch dumped him.

- Good for him.
