Ginger and Cinnamon Page #6

Synopsis: When Stefania breaks up with her boyfriend Andrea, little does she realize what the summer has in store for her. She winds up on vacation at a Greek resort 'isle of love' with her 14 year old niece. Unfortunately, her teenage niece has something more than sun and surf on her mind; she decides that this Mediterannean paradise is where she will finally lose her virginity. However, in an ironic twist, the cute guy she has her eye out on turns out to be none other than Andrea, her aunt's ex-boyfriend. This light-hearted "comedy-of-errors" is a valuable lesson in what being a woman means at any age.

Nice f***ing name you picked out!

So, how did you know

about my birthday party?

The cake.

- Do you want a piece?

- No.

It's good,

there's a secret ingredient.

There are two.

Ginger and cinnamon.

- Have you already tried it?

- I made it.

He made it.

- THE ISLAND OF HYSTERICAL FEMALES

- I'm gonna kill you!

I'm such a loser!

Couldn't you be someone else's ex?

Get over it!

We'll find someone else.

You're clueless!

I care who it is!

And you gave me too much freedom.

If you wanna be my aunt, act like it!

You know that nothing happened

between Meggy and me.

She put me on a pedestal,

poor thing.

She sees me as...

- This...

- This what?

Give it up!

She kissed me, I didn't kiss her.

You never do anything, do you?

You got dumped and you got kissed!

- By an adolescent!

- So?

I'm an adolescent.

Guys don't count.

We've got a big problem,

so what do we do?

What do you do?

You're the creative one.

You'll find a unique way out of this.

Any suggestions?

Take that shirt off,

you look ridiculous.

- Are you back together?

- Please!

It would be way wrong

if you got back together with him.

We all stick together now.

We're sleeping and going out together.

I want a strawberry smoothie!

I couldn't see any shooting stars

from over there.

It's cold, put this on.

Can we talk about our relationship?

What relationship?

Look at all the stars.

They're millions of light years away.

We sure are insignificant

in this universe.

Speak for yourself.

Excuse me!

They're cute, aren't they?

I'm happy for her.

She's seems to be doing good.

Quiet!

I've had enough of you!

She's fine one day

and a mess the next!

She's 15.

So what if she has a bad day?

Stop it, we're all getting along now.

Who?

What kind of tour group are we?

We've got a walking time bomb,

every girl's best friend,

and let's not even mention

you and me!

- I feel sick.

- What's wrong?

- I just heard myself speak.

- So?

I'm boring!

I even bore myself!

- She's weird.

- Yeah.

She's always been.

Why are you so melodramatic?

I analyzed my own self

and defined myself "the b*tch"!

Wouldn't that upset you?

From the outside

our relationship is a mess!

You wanted to change me

and I wanted to change you.

You never know what to say

and I'm always judging everyone!

That's why people like you.

- Because you're so...

- What?

Say it!

A...

I wasn't going to say "b*tch"!

No one likes me!

And now I don't even like myself.

I do everything wrong!

Always dieting, I never lose weight.

- Now I quit dieting and...

- You've gained weight.

- I've lost weight!

- That's good!

No, it isn't!

It means I've done everything wrong.

I hide and eat, I was Iying to myself.

I know you, you're angry at me

because of that night.

- What night?

- That night with you-know-who.

- Who?

- Silvia.

Can we talk about it?

Sure, let's talk about it.

Let's hold each other all night

and it will be fine tomorrow.

Go do that sh*t with your sex bomb!

At least give me credit for trying.

I'm trying to be honest.

You've told me a sack of lies

and now you want to be honest?

What do I care now?

But I do have one question.

- Promise you'll tell the truth.

- I promise.

Ask me.

Was Silvia better than me in bed?

She's just more sex-oriented.

- She's got natural abilities.

- So she was better than me?

- Yes, because she really likes it...

- Why did you tell me?

But I like it with you much better!

With her I'm always worried

about my performance because...

- Did I hurt you?

- A little.

Good.

- Can I do my thing?

- No, not that.

You're saying that because I'm sad.

No, I'm serious.

I want to.

Well, I don't.

B*tch.

So like I didn't get deflowered

but it's still cool.

When I get back to school

everyone will be all: "I did it".

Their stories will be way identical.

But my story is like totally unique.

It doesn't matter.

I have a question

and I want an honest answer.

What is this, honesty night?

If you hadn't fallen asleep that night,

would you have made love to me?

Just chill, I wouldn't have done it!

Your first time can't be

with someone you like.

I was totally sure you'd

get back together with him.

- Oh, please.

- But you didn't do it.

I'll give you credit for that.

You proved you're not a wimp.

It was obvious he was waiting

for you to go:
"Okay".

- You held out!

- See?

You taught me that a woman

doesn't have to put her ideals aside

for the man of her life!

Exactly.

Ideals are way important.

There are exceptions, you know.

I want off!

I have to get off, it's important!

Captain!

- No, it doesn't count!

- Why doesn't it count?

Because I said so.

I'm doing it for me, not for you.

With me, you can...

...smoke your pipe when you want.

Because I like you much more...

...so romantic!

Blue smoke!

Oh, a cloud inside you.

And a man who smells like smoke...

...is a real man, oh yes!

I will love you,

as long as you want!

Because that is what you are!

- A man is a man.

- When he smells like smoke.

- A man is a man.

- When he smells like smoke...

A kiss is ten times better from you!

- Wait.

- What?

- I have to fold my clothes.

- Okay.

No!

You have to say no sometimes!

Whatever.

If two obsessive people are together,

at least they don't hurt anyone else.

No, that's the typical

S&M relationship.

As if you knew!

You're a virgin!

- So are you!

- That's normal for my age.

- So you and I are just friends?

- No, we will never be friends!
