Jeff asks Ginger out on their first date (from "Patriots")

(Jeff goes to see Ginger at the drugstore. She lets him in, but is too mortified to talk to him)

Jeff: Hi.

Ginger (avoiding his eyes): Good morning.

Jeff: Can I have some coffee?

Ginger (with her back to him, she is too embarrassed to face him): It's not ready yet. You can get some across the street.

Jeff: I'll wait.

Ginger: Suit yourself.

Jeff: You must have left kind of early this morning.

Ginger (still not looking at him as she walks to the other counter): Well it seemed preferrable to having your sister or mother find me in your bed.

Jeff: I'm sorry I wasn't awake. (concerned) Is everything all right?

Ginger: Hunky dory.

Jeff: You're sure?

Ginger: I wouldn't say so if I didn't mean it...

Jeff: Good. (pauses) I'd like to go out with you.

Ginger (looks up at him, shocked): On a date?

Jeff: Yes.

Ginger: Bad idea...

Jeff (confused): Why?

Ginger: Do I have to spell it out for you? Because... (in a small voice) what we did last night... was not supposed to happen...

(Jeff walks over to her)

Ginger: Don't worry about it, I don't blame you. My mother always says, "A man can not pick up a woman's hankerchief unless she drops it," and I certainly dropped my hankerchief.

Jeff: I don't think it's the federal crime you're making it out to be-

Ginger: Of course you don't, you're a man! But for the record, mister, I've never done that before-

Jeff: Well neither have... Didn't you have fun?

Ginger (avoiding Jeff's eyes again): I don't like talking about it...

Jeff: Let's go to the movies sometime.

Ginger: Why?

Jeff: Why?

Ginger: Is movies all you had in mind?

Jeff (holds up his hand): I swear, just the movies, the whole movies, and nothing but the movies, so help me God. And afterwards-

Ginger (looks up at him): Oh, get lost!

Jeff (holds a Lone Ranger mask up to his face): -I plan on robbing a bank... (smiles)

Ginger: I fail to see the humor in this... (can't help but smile herself) Did you tell anyone about last night?

Jeff: What do you take me for?

Ginger: Because if you do-

Jeff: You'll never speak to me again?

Ginger: Speak to you? I will take a butcher knife and kill you in your sleep. And don't think I won't! (pauses) I'll go to the movies with you--so long as you understand that what happened last night will never happen again until after I'm married, and do you want to withdraw the invitation?

Jeff: No.

(Jeff walks away, and Ginger looks at him as he leaves, then suddenly smiles to herself)
