Jeff and Ginger in Jeff's room (from "Songs Unsung Are Sweetest") (Ginger walks into Jeff's room as he's taking his shoes off; Jeff turns around and sees her) Jeff: Oh hey, I didn't hear you knock... Ginger: No one answered the door--do you mind? Jeff: No, of course not! (sees Ginger is upset) What's the matter? Ginger: There's something wrong with me. I think deep down inside, I'm a man. Jeff: I don't think that's something you should worry about. Ginger: Well why else would I be all the time thinking of one thing and one thing only if that's what... men do? Jeff (gets up from bed): I don't just think about only one thing- Ginger: Most of the time you do. Jeff: Well, yeah, a lot of the the time, but--say, just because I think of other things once in a while doesn't mean I'm a woman! Ginger: It isn't fair that we have these... these... uh... (searches for the right word) Jeff: C-coach calls 'em urges. Ginger: Father calls them appetites... (comes closer to Jeff) And why would we have them if we weren't supposed to do anything about it? Jeff (backs away from her): I-I don't think I'm the right person to ask... I don't want you thinking that I'm pushing you into anything, 'cause I'm not... Ginger: Everytime you say that it... makes my appetite bigger. (Jeff pauses) Jeff: It does... (smiles) Well I mean it... I don't want you thinking that I'm pushing you 'cause I'm not... (bends down to take off his socks and grins at her) I don't want you to think I'm pushing you 'cause I'm not... (Ginger realizes what he's doing and laughs) Ginger: Stop it... Jeff (walks right up to Ginger): I don't want you thinking I'm pushing you even a little bit... Ginger: You are evil... Jeff (grinning at her): The heat is off, Ginger. (plops himself down on the bed) I don't want you to think I'm pushing you, because that would be the wrong interpretation of events here. I'm not pushing, no pressure at all--no pressure whatsoever at all... (Ginger smiles, sits on the bed) Ginger: Why would God give us these... appetites... Jeff (shaking his head): Urges... Ginger: ... if he didn't want us to do anything about them? (Jeff and Ginger kiss) Ginger: It isn't fair is it? (Jeff takes her shoes off, Ginger lets her jacket fall to the floor) Jeff: No... It's not fair, is it? (They kiss and fall to bed, Jeff starts to undo her buttons) Ginger (coming up for air): I wish we knew how your mother talked Father Dreher into an early wedding... (Jeff is still trying to unbutton her blouse) He said it had to be an emergency... What could she have done to persuade him? (Ginger figures it out, and she straightens and is speechless) Jeff: What's the matter? Ginger: Don't tell me... Jeff: Never ever tell a soul... Ginger: Oh my word... (Jeff suddenly jumps out of bed and runs to his dresser and takes something out of the top drawer. He closes the drawer in a hurry, causing the statue of the Virgin Mary to rattle on top of the dresser) Jeff: Ginger? Ginger (laughing): Yeah? Jeff: Don't worry about it happening to us. We've got protection... Ginger (giggling): Please tell me you didn't buy that at Brandstaetter's... Jeff: No, of course, I went up to my mother and said, "Mother, I'd like to buy one..." No, I didn't! (lays the "protection" down before them) Ginger (playing with it): Why didn't your mother and Al use one? They're older, they know better... Jeff: I'll tell you why mom would never use one of these--buying one of these would mean besides thinking about it, they were planning to go ahead with it, and deciding to go ahead with it would be just as sinful as doing it is. So besides the sin of thinking about going all the way, and planning to go all the way, there'd be the sin of using artificial means of birth control. That'd be four sins instead of just the one, if they just spontaneously, so to speak, went ahead with it... Say... (smiles, and starts to kiss her) Ginger (coming to her senses and pulling away): Four sins... Jeff: Huh? Ginger: ... all mortal... Why'd you have to bring this up? Jeff: Good Lord...
