"She goes crazy every season." "Her clothes won't fit!" "Wool is made from elastic fibers, it shrinks." "She didn't gain weight, her clothes shrunk!" "Chocolate is not fattening." "It helps you lose weight." "The energy makes you more active and you burn fat." "She pigs out on chocolate every night." "It's my fault she gains weight." "I put too much oil on her salad!" "Pictures change." "At first you hate yourself." "Months later you realize you've changed." "What are you like in pictures?" "You are what you are!" "A few months later, you are what you were." "Big deal!" "Pictures improve with time." "Okay, so we get older..." "But I don't want to face that." "Life is too short to waste on mistakes." "You have to plan everything to a "T"." "Life is too short to waste on planning everything." "You gotta be flexible!" "The only way to keep control is to be organized." "The only way to keep control is to be unorganized." "The only way to keep control..." " is to be unorganized." " You're right." "I lost my lighter." "Being jealous means you're afraid to lose the other person." "Being jealous means you don't trust the other person." "So when you're jealous, it's love!" "If there's no trust, you're not in love!" "THEY DON'T MAKE LOVE LIKE THEY USED TO" " When did you find out?" " At the video store." "I pick a movie and Andrea says we've seen it." "Maybe he saw it, but I didn't!" "He starts making up crap, saying someone lent him that movie." "Then I remembered we never saw that movie because it was playing at Mignon." " Who takes your tickets at Mignon?" " Silvia, his ex!" "Of course he denies everything." "He didn't go there to see the movie, he went there to see..." " The sex bomb." " So, I decided." "There is a lack of trust here!" "So I go: "What else has he hid from me?"" "He goes: "I hate jealousy." "Change or it's over."" "So I go: "l'm not changing, it's over."" "Since he's a wimp, he gave in." "Love means leaving room for mistakes." "No." "Love means never having to say:" ""I told you so"." "Well, I told him so." "Ex's are just that:" "Ex!" "Andrea." "We said we either get married or break up." "So we broke up." "But there's one thing I don't get." "Who broke up with who?" "If I broke up with you, it's my own fault." "But if you broke up with me..." "Pick up the phone!" "I'm not calling to argue." "There's someone in here!" "It's gonna be a while!" "I'm just here to say bon voyage." "Mother says no more girl scout trips because it's time to mature." "I need to travel and have my own experiences." "Guys, let's go!" "Proceed, I don't want to delay you." "You didn't see me here!" "Hello, Mother." "Ciao." "No, everything is fine." "I couldn't find them." "Quit going ballistic, the train was late!" "I know, but..." "I have a wicked idea!" "I can get an inter Rail ticket." "I'll travel Europe and have my own experiences." "I won't ruin your vacation!" "I'm almost 15!" "Good job, Martina." "You act older." "I know, I'm mature for my age." "But call me Meggy." "Martina sounds old!" "Thanks." "Meggy isn't even short for Martina." "Like I know!" "It's way unfair." "Granny said that Mother said" "I could stay at your house since you got dumped and weren't going anywhere." "What?" "I dumped him!" "I made all the decisions, as usual." "Can't they mind their own business?" "You don't have a book, do you?" "I'm not that stereotypical!" " I have a book." " Take another one." "Give me the one I have to read for summer homework." "Sure!" "That one about teen angst..." " Young Holden?" " No..." " Young Turles?" " No..." " Young Werther?" " Yes, that one." "They still make kids read those?" " 285!" " Come on!" "The German version is in there too." "I lived with a guy for 8 years who used his mother's bank account!" "I had to thank his mother too for gifts he got me." "He couldn't make a decision!"

"Andrea made it whenever we argued." "Then we'd make up." "There's ice cream in the freezer." "This is good because of its secret ingredient." "Actually there are two." "Ginger and cinnamon." "He couldn't even decide on that." " There's only one secret ingredient." " Got a picture of Andrea?" "In the trash." "Under there, in the trash." "Are you nuts?" "You trashed 8 years of pictures!" "Only where you could see him." "The world passed right by us!" "People got married and the cute guys came out of the closet." "It's not my fault the train broke and I was late!" "Scout camp could have been a major educational experience!" "You can't dump someone after 8 years!" "Especially at your age!" "You wanna be free but you're too young." "When you are free, you're too old to enjoy it!" "As if I would go with you and those wrinkly old farts!" "As it is, our hometown reeks!" "You don't trust me."

"We lack major equilibrium, I didn't choose to be your daughter!" "You chose to be my mother!" "Your daughter needs to go on vacation with her friends." "If you won't take her because you're selfish, then I'll take my niece." "Why?" "Why can't I go to scout camp?" "You know what I'm like?" "What are you like?" "Martina is staying with me." "It's Meggy, not Martina." "Whatever." "Have a nice trip." "Your mother is terrible!" "I have to live with her all year." "How can we be sisters?" "I'll take you, if you want." "Where are these girl scouts?" "I'm not waiting for Andrea's call." "My friends are in Greece." "Nice, especially since you're taking classical studies." "Where exactly?" "los, in the Cyclades."

"There's fresh air over here." "I love you, Auntie!" "That's sweet of you." "Too bad we never hang out, you're a nice person." "No, I'm not." "I'm like a total liar." "I try to tell the truth, but something else comes out." "It's because of your mother!" "I missed the train on purpose." "I'm mature enough to be on my own." "Never mind." "Once you see your friends it won't be a lie anymore." "Sweet dreams." "I sort of like told another lie..." "But I can't tell you, 'cause you'd get mad." "I won't get angry." "My friends aren't in Greece, they're in Spain." "I caused this royal mess to go to los." "The island of love, it's always been my dream!" "And there I will lose my virginity." "If not there, where?" "Who said you have to?" "It's a big deal for me!" "Guys get turned off because they can tell I'm still a virgin!" "Stop staring, go back to sleep!" "You sleep, I have to learn!" "Now what?" "Do you hate me now that I told you the truth?" "You grownups always want us to lie behind your backs." "You're like Mother, you can't handle the truth!" "I'm in charge of you now, this is too big of a responsibility." "I can handle the truth." "It's that you want to do it with a complete stranger!" "Listen to me!" "It will be horrible and you'll remember it forever." "No. I'm going to have a triple orgasm." "I read all about it." "You have to be relaxed." "You have to practice first." "So when you fall in love you don't give a bad impression!" "What kind of logic is that?" "That's my philosophy." "How old were you the first time you did it?" "You do it when you're ready." "Okay, I was 19." "Were you in love?" "Of course." "How was it?" " lt just was!" " See?" "You were in love and it sucked." " lt was my first time!" " You should have done it before." " Before what?" " Before the first time." "Do you only do weird things?" "You eat dessert before your meal?" "Who decides what's normal?" "Weren't you on a diet?" "Chocolate makes you lose weight." "I knew it!" "It's exactly like Andrea's cake!" "Some secret!" "They make it here." "It's really good, though." "Not as good as his." "What are you doing?" "My head has to be in the North or I can't sleep."

" She must be 30!" " Exactly." "Wouldn't you put out at her age?" "If I was a woman I'd put out non-stop." "Italian?" "I'm Marco, this is Pippo." "Stefania, nice to meet you." "This is my niece Meggy." "Where is everyone on this island?" " What are we?" " l mean everyone..." "They party at night and sleep all day." "And you losers go to bed early." "Don't you want a tan?" "The sun is bad for you at this time of day." "I get polymorphous light eruption." "Are you going to the Scorpion tonight?" "Yuck!" "Only toddlers go there!"

You are shocked and decline." "B. You go check it out." "C. You plan the next one at your house." "A. I am shocked and decline." " Right?" " Well, it depends." "C. The next one would be at my house." " How would you know?" " That's why I choose C!" " l choose C too." "Pippo?" " C." "We get five points." "Stefania... zero!" ""How do you feel about someone watching you have sex?"" ""A. Major turn-on"." "I pick A." "Read B and C!" "You just want the most points!" "Just chill!" "Enough talking, I want some action." "Later I'll quiz you on oral sex." "Where are you going?" "Are you sure you're related?" "Unfortunately." "is her best friend her mother?" "How do I know?" "Why?" "Girls like that are teases." "Mothers are an important factor." "They don't put out to rebel, they do it when they want to." "Friendship has ruined it for us." " Mother is my best friend." " All you do is fight!" "Because of the fight on the phone?" "No, I have to go ballistic on her." "Otherwise she thinks she isn't a good mother." " We talk about everything." " You can talk to me too." "I don't want to be a normal old aunt." "I want to be your friend." "Do you?" "Menopause is lingering and I'm still a virgin!" "What?" "Andrea, it's me." "Was being free a problem with us?" "I don't think it was." "You went to Lucca in 1997 and I let you sleep there." "And something else... if we had had children, what would we have been like?" "Being parents is a pain!" "Anyway, this freedom thing was a misconception." "When you claimed I was holding back your freedom, I was actually..." "Well it was for your own good!" "Call me if you get this message." "I'm in los, Cyclades." "Greece!" "Some crazy teenager island!" "Write this number." "Panorama Hotel." "You can call collect!" "Are you not answering because you're screwing Silvia Magliocchetti?" "Or are you on vacation with her?" "In either case, you and Silvia can both fuck off!" "You idiot!" "I could have popped a blood vessel!" "You're coming with me." " Why?" " Who is this?" " How would I know?" " And you're kissing him?" "How else can I get to know him?" "Will you get moving!" "If I only have to make out, I'm set." "When I was little I made up new forms of kissing." "The penguin, butterfly, chipmunk." "I was Epicurean and didn't know it!" "We hadn't even studied philosophy yet." "I wasn't even into that guy." "Can I talk about Epicurus?" "Epicurus was all:" ""The liberation of your passions is the path to happiness." "Through philosophy... man frees himself from all grievous sentiments."" " Have you guys seen Meggy?" " She went swimming." " By herself?" " Yeah." "She'll be fine." "Have a seat." " Want a beer?" " At breakfast?" "I'd probably puke." "See what I mean?" "I can't stand seeing everyone so relaxed!" "Have they done their summer homework?" "Selfish." "THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS COINCIDENCE" "What's your name?" "Andrea." "Huh?" "Aeneas?" "Uh, yeah." "Fab!" "I got an A on The Aeneid!" "My name's Meggy." " What are you doing?" " Drawing." "Well, I'm learning how to draw." "Are you here by yourself?" "Lucky you!" "On the island of love..." "Are you with your parents?" " l'm with..."

"I'm like way mature for my age." "I'll be in the square tonight, will you?" "Hey!" "This scale is broken, right?" "I found him!" "The guy who's going to deflower me." "He's gorgeous, funny and a major sex monster." "Like the gay guy in Savage Garden." "His name's Aeneas!" "Like in The Aeneid!" "Which one should I get?" "The colored ones are childish, I don't trust "Super-Thin"." ""increased Duration"?" "He'll be self-conscious." ""Ribbed"?" "Not the first time!" " Which one?" " Get them all." "Oh my God, really?" "Not all questions have specific answers." "Ask a specific question and you get a specific answer." "What do I do when my orgasm starts?" "Nothing!" "If it happens, thank God and enjoy it!" "Does this embarrass you?" " You're avoiding the question!" " l am not!" "Does the word "orgasm" freak you out?" "It's an actual scientific word!" "This is the island of love, no one would freak over it." "This club is called 69." "And they have a drink called Orgasm." " Orgasm!" " l get the picture." " Relax." " No one is even looking!" "If a dude asks you out, you can't say yes right away." "You have to be all: "l don't know..."" "Make him sweat." " Did you say no to Aeneas?" " He's different." "He was too shy to ask me out." "So I had to be all strategical." "I was all:" ""l'll be in the square tonight..."" "I set it up without him feeling embarrassed." "When are you meeting him?" "Don't people set exact times and places anymore?" "Oh my God, I miss him already." " Doesn't he have to sweat?" " Like, right." "You have to be way patient!" "Tell me about it." "He's not coming." "It's 4:15." " lt's late!" " lt'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." " l 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!" " Fuck 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!" "10 or 15 years difference means he's experienced." "15 years is too much!" "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." " lf you wanna come..." " l'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?" " l quit dancing." "It should be illegal at a certain age and over a certain waist size!" "This music isn't really..." " ls that ecstasy?" " Antihistamine." "Are all guys like this?" "They're all: "l'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. lt'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!" "Fuck 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?" " l fold my clothes." " Shut up!" " God, you're a nutcase." " l 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?" " l 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 ls 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." " 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 ls 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?" " l'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!" " ls 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 shit!" "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:" ""lt'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!" " lt'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:" ""l look fat"" "just so someone says they're not." "I detest them!" "There's only one way to define girls like that, a bitch!" "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." " lt'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?" " lt 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!" " l 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!" " l know!" "But he sounds really cool." "And he went out with a bitch." "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 bitch dumped him." " Good for him." " There's a real man." " No, I doubt he beats women." "He's just the cheating type." "How awful!" "He cheated on her!" "They've been at it for 20 minutes!" " Did he cheat on her?" " They can, why can't I?" "Did he cheat on her or not?" "I don't know, I didn't ask." "You're still here?" "Go find out!" "Knock it off!" "I can't believe you sleep all day and I sleep at night." "You should have come with someone your own age!" "Get moving!" " l found out." " He cheated?" "Affirmative." "I think cheating is morally wrong." "People shouldn't cheat... but now that we've analyzed the entire situation, I'd say the bitch deserved it." "Poor girl!" " You wanna hear?" " Yes!" "He did it with an ex-ex." " Two girlfriends ago." " Then she's a double bitch!" "They couldn't see each other because bitch number 1 wouldn't let them." "Of course!" "It's easy to screw an ex because you've already done it!" "Can I continue?" "He sees this ex-ex again and old memories resurface in him." " And they had sex." " No!" "Way worse!" "What could be worse?" "They spent the whole night wrapped in each other's arms crying and solving unresolved things." "The next morning they were healed." "Healed by love!" "It COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ME" "Disgusting!" "IF WE GOT BACK TOGETHER, I WOULD:" "That's it!" "I'm getting rid of this." "Voice mail is the most useless thing in the world!" "Andrea is with that sex bomb and hasn't left any messages!" "No more wrinkle-free cream or medicines!" "You can have all my hidden chocolate!" "Here." "Diets are against nature." "From now on I'm eating and drinking!" "It isn't food that makes you fat, it's guilt!" "I'm tired of hearing "it makes you look younger"!" " You're going nuts." " No, I'm normal now." "This cake made me realize it." "I like it better than Andrea's!" "Now go tell Aeneas he wasted years on the wrong person." "It's time to start over and live!" " l'm gonna do it." " Go." " l'm taking your chocolate." " Okay." " l'm going to eat it." " Sure." "It makes you lose weight." "But half a piece is even less fattening." "Your relationship totally sucked." "She was all anal and tried to change you." "She was clueless about your creativity and hated your friends." "She was jealous about your ex's." "I hope I'm not going overboard, but you wasted years on someone who wasn't all that." "You are such a honey!" "Isn't all that chocolate..." "Fattening?" "No." "Because I don't feel guilty." "Aeneas was all:" ""What are we doing tonight?"" "I'm no longer a potato head, I'm a human girl!" " So?" " What's going to happen?" "Whatever happens, happens." "Don't you get it, it's a royal mess!" "I'll look like a total loser with the guy I'm in love with!" "Oh my God, I'm in love!" "We should have done it before." "You're coming too!" "Are you crazy?" "It's your responsibility, I'm a minor!" "You want to rebel and expect me to give you permission?" "I've quit mothering people." "Look what happened with Andrea!" "Now he's screwing the sex bomb!" "If you're ready, do it." "This is your problem." "So like, my heart will guide me?" "Something will guide you but it won't be your heart." " A different organ?" " Yes." " A sex organ?" " Guess so." "What's our song?" "You wanna come up?" "You didn't bring anything to drink!" " What do you want?" " An orgasm. lf they have it." " What do you wanna do?" " Let's mosh." "I'm not uncomfortable talking about sex with you." "What do you want to talk about?" " Duration." " All right, duration." "I bet the guys you've had all had that problem." " Yes." " See?" "It's not their fault." "It was because they were inexperienced." "Sex is being aware, experimenting and exploring." "I finally found my own method." "What?" "Breathe in your chakra?" " What?" " lt's tantric sex." " You like tantric sex?" " Of course!" "I don't." "It's like studying extinct languages, Latin or Greek." "I worked out my own method." "When the situation... gets critical, I focus on Richie Cunningham's mom." "Then the system shuts down." "When the situation in my other half cools down, I change channels in my head again." "To see what's there." "There's always a game show." "And then ready, set, go!" "I don't feel well." "I'm going back to my tent." "Goodnight." "Goodnight?" "What's this?" "So Werther... doesn't kill himself because of love, but because of lack of love." "It even says it in the preface!" "Anyway, it has a bad ending!" "At least he found love." "There are more important things than books." "Help, I can't hold back!" "Something is taking control of me!" "I have to dance!" " All the photocopies..." " What photocopies?" "Oh my God, what's happening to me?" "If I can kiss you, then I'm capable of anything!" "Thanks a lot!" "Here." "Goodnight." "I'm in love with you." "Are we going to have sex now?" "Oh my God, Aeneas is dead!" "Slow down, you're hurting me!" "Stop it!" "He's in there." "You look, I'll freak out." "What is it?" " Tell me you didn't do it!" " You said you wouldn't care." " Tell me you didn't do it!" " No, we just kissed!" " Get her out of here." " No, let go of me!" "Will you chill?" "Oh, fuck off!" "I get the point!" "is he okay, is he dead?" "No, he's better off than both of us." " He's cute, isn't he?" " He's all right." "Sometimes people aren't what they seem." "Not today!" "is it possible that all your life you think you're a certain way, then suddenly you find out people think you're something else?" "What are you really like?" "What you feel inside or how other people see you?" "How other people see you." "The majority always rules." "Wish me happy birthday." "I'm 15 today!" "Do you want a cake?" "Chocolate, ginger and cinnamon okay?" "What's wrong?" "Being 15 trips me out." "I'm like halfway to being you!" "Why aren't you talking?" "Are you embarrassed about passing out?" "Yeah, right." " Nothing would have happened." " We kissed." " We did?" " Yes." " lt doesn't mean anything." " lt does so!" "Make a decision." "Yes or no!" "You won't decide or you decided no?" "I decided no." " Why not?" " Because I said so." "You're still thinking about your ex!" "But we totally ruined her!" "I'm totally wasting time with you." "You're probably anal too!" "I bet you fold your clothes before you have sex!" "This was a present for you!" "Ginger and cinnamon." "This freedom thing was a misconception." "When you claimed I was holding back your freedom I was actually... I was doing it for your own good!" "If you get this message, call me." "I'm in los, Cyclades." "Greece." "This crazy teenager island." "Write this number." "Hotel Panorama." "You can call collect." "Are you not answering because you're screwing Silvia?" "He changed his mind from one day to the next!" "I'm sure he has his reasons." "Hopefully you'll never find out why." "He's probably already left the island." "I won't ever know why, he's a coward." "The bitch doesn't know he cheated." " Stop calling her a bitch." " Why?" "Because I said so." "Oh my God, it's him!" " He's gonna see how old I am!" " Just eat your candles!" "Happy Birthday!" "Well?" "You look cool in the shirt l got you!" "I'm Pippo." "Stefania, this is Aeneas." "Nice fucking 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?" " l made it." "He made it." " THE ISLAND OF HYSTERICAL FEMALES - l'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'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 bitch"!" "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 "bitch"!" "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." " l've lost weight!" " That's good!" "No, it isn't!" "It means I've done everything wrong." "I hide and eat, I was lying 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 shit 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." "Bitch." "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." "ldeals 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 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 SM 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!"
