Ginger Snaps Page #3

Synopsis: Is becoming a woman analogous, in some deep psychological way, to becoming a werewolf? Ginger is 16, edgy, tough, and, with her younger sister, into staging and photographing scenes of death. They've made a pact about dying together. In early October, on the night she has her first period, which is also the night of a full moon, a werewolf bites Ginger. Within a few days, some serious changes happen to her body and her temperament. Her sister Brigitte, 15, tries to find a cure with the help of Sam, a local doper. As Brigitte races against the clock, Halloween and another full moon approach, Ginger gets scarier, and it isn't just local dogs that begin to die.

Something is really... really wrong, Bee.

What happened?

I get this ache and...

...I thought it was for sex, but it's

to tear everything into f***ing peices.

Where is he?

Next door.

Oh, my god!

You killed Norman.

He barked and he barked and

he kept f***ing barking!

I just... I just...

...I couldn't stop myself.

Bee, what am I suppose to do?

It wasn't at all like

I thought it would be...

...there was just all this

squirming and squealing...

...and than he's done and you're like 'Oh?'

He's probably out there telling everyone

what a freak I am.

They'll say the same thing about him.

It doesn't work like that.

I mean, he got laid.

I'm just a lay. He's a hero and

Im just a lay, a freak mutant lay.

Did you use something?

No.

And you think this'll work?

We have to try something.

Where did you get that...that ring?

I found it.

Too bad.

You should have one too.

I mean for being with me on this.

Ready?

Yeah.

Sh*t, it stuck!

Hold still.

F***! Hurry up!

- Sorry, sorry

It's almost there.

How do you feel?

Wicked.

Norman?

Here, Norman.

Hurry up!

Hold it still.

- I am, I hurry up.

Go ahead, baby.

Oh, McCardy what happened to you?

- Ginger Fitzgerald rocked my world.

Did you get your rag, too?

Oh, sh*t!

It must be ink. F***!

Hi!

Brigitte!

Brigitte, come here.

What the f***, Bee?

Did you get a boyfriend or something?

No, we just...

I'll be right back.

Oh my god.

Hey, what's up? Look, if silver's shot,

I've been reading and I got another idea.

Are you on drugs, like right now?

I'm in class here.

Yeah, excuse me for giving a sh*t.

I'll come see you later, ok?

- Whatever.

The Fitz sisters are really getting around.

Okay, line change. Lets go.

- He thinks I got bit.

I trust you and you blab to the

first f*** up who comes along.

He knows stuff, he wants to help.

He wants to get in

your pants, Stupid!

So sluts run in the family... quel shocker!

Get out!

Ginger, no!

Ginger, no! Stop!

Fitght, fight, fight...

You started it.

- Ginger to the office.

This school has a zero

tolerance for violence policy...

...I mean a temper like that is inexcusable...

...barring substantial extenuating circumstances.

What are you looking at? Euh?

My pen exploded ok. My red pen.

That was f***ing incredible.

Get your camera! Don't you have your camera?

This is wall-worthy! Come on!

You gave it to Jason.

You had unprotected sex

and you infected him.

Oops!

I have to see Sam. He's got an idea.

- Oh bet he does. Well, lets go.

If you come,

you can't be weird Ginger.

If he gets I lied. If he get

a what? ...a monster? Huh, a freak?

If he thinks I dicked him around

he'll blow this off.

I'll behave.

Romeo, Romeo, wherefor art thou Romeo?

Sorry about before I was just afraid

someone would hear us, that's all.

Yeah, she is just a litlle moody lately.

That whole silver thing

didn't quite work out did it.

I wasn't expecting company.

My sister Ginger. She knows.

If you two come in here, you see

sweat f*** all. Understood?

Jesus!

Wicked! Smoke us up!

Yeah, wicked huh?

Get the f*** out!

Hi, Brigitte.

It breaks down like this-

I compared homeopatic treatements...

...of infections to the

folklore of alll this stigma. Take a look.

Aconitum dilycotonum.

Lyco as in wolf?

- Right.

It's called Monkshood. It's a cousin of wolfsbane

except this stuff is safe in small doses.

It's a superoxidant-

really radical detox.

It promotes white blood cell count.

- Which fight infection. Do you have some?

Well, it's perennial.

It grows everywhere but only in the sping.

F***! This is bullshit ok.

- I seeded some. I'm growing them.

- She does not have time for that.

She's killed a dog already.

She's f***ed.

She's growing a tail.

Did you tell him that?

- Ginger!

You're growing a tail?

Yes.

Look, he's just another wank job. Okay.

- What the f*** do you think you are?

- What the f*** are you? Pervert, she's 15!

- Ginger, wait outside!

Fine, if he rapes you,

don't come crying. I'll be at home.

She's just freaking.

I do not think of you that way.

Your dad's battery is dead again.

He's stranded at the supermarket.

Wanna go for a ride?

- Jesus can't you knock?

Don't you Jesus me.

- You don't have anything I haven't seen before.

- That's what you think.

What is that suppose to mean?

- Nothing, I'm just, I'm fat alright get out.

Ginger you are not fat, these

fashion models are all on speed to look like that.

Get out!

Okay. Gosh.

I'll be back soon.

Give me back my dog.

- Trina I don't have your dog.

- Ginger took him. I saw her.

Now, I feel sorry for you.

He doesn't like you.

He's a cherry-hound.

He's into virgins.

Trina you're bleeding. Go home.

If you are so f***ing smart,

you won't give him the satisfaction.

Somebody just once shouldn't give

that f***er the satisfaction!

Trina go now.

- You are as big a c*nt as your sister.

I am not.

Hi meat. Back for more?

- What are you doing?

I don't know, Bee. What am I doing?

Call Sam. Ask the pro.

What?

You play with your new friends

and I'll play with mine.

Ginger what the hell are you doing?

You smell yummy. What is that?

Citrus? antiseptic? I'm not sure.

Are you crazy?

Okay that's enough. Let her go.

- Shut up.

Ok, lets just chill.

You know what Trina? She is doing your bone.

I wouldn't be so quick to get so friendly.

Stop, it is not like that.

- I think she's scared for you love, huh?

She is an a**hole. She's not worth it.

- You ask for this!

You picked Sam over me.

Whatever happens now it is your fault!

This is not you. Just lets cope...

- Oh, with what? With this kind of sh*t.

He's wrong moron. You can't fix this!

You don't know that. Just give me a chance.

- What an other one? God gee, I don't know Bee...

...see I'm going way way out there...

...way way far from from where you live and

which should pretty much f***ing rule.

Oh god, that's disgusting you

f***ing gross f***ing b*tch...

Back, don't touch me you freaks.

You're both just totally f***ed.

Trina we were just...

Uh oh.

Get up.

Get up. Now.

Henry, what on earth are you doing out there?

Com' on, don't eat it until we get inside.

Jesus Christ on a bicycle! What the...?

Girls, I told you, no more deaths in the house!

- Don't be mad, it's for extra credit.

Back to immaculate in ten minutes.

Corn syrup, daddy want some?

I go to get this meat away.

I'll do that.

Mom.

- What?

What do guys want?

Brigitte, I'm so glad you asked.

That's what men want.

Some of them might seem cool or diffrent

but they are pretty much the same.

Totally.

- Thanks for sharing.

Oh honey, that's what we're here for.

Bed time. What's this frown line.

Beauty rest.

This is just great.

Yeah, field hockey will suck now.

Get me a screwdriver.

Oh, god!

Way to go.

Here it is:
'Why your daughter dates dummies.'

I'm so glad I held on to this.

I think they're up to something.

- They're just being normal teenage girls.
