Missing Present Delays Secret Santa Celebration
Ms. Barbara MacHenry
Billy, Billy, Billy..., Girls I can't find Billy's present under the tree here. Come on, girls, we can't start the Secret Santa without Billy's present. Hello? Who drew Billy's name?
[sighs; turns to each of the girls.]
Melissa Kitt
Um, Ms. Mac, it's a Secret Santa.
Dana Mathis
Can't we just get on with this thing, so I can party for a few days before having to deal with the family on Christmas.
[while painting her nails]
Melissa Kitt
Have you looked outside? It's raining hail the size of Yao's ball sack.
Dana Mathis
It'll stop. The party gods won't allow me to be here by myself over Christmas break.
Kelli Presley
Oh, I'll be here, Dana.
[while wrapping the gift]
Dana Mathis
Yeah, they're making me work next week.
Melissa Kitt
That sucks everyone should be home for Christmas.

Ms. Barbara MacHenry
Chelsea?
Kelli Presley
She went home this morning.
Ms. Barbara MacHenry
Greer?
Melissa Kitt
No, that was her on the phone. She and Erin and Taylor are off on that cozy little ski trip with the boys from G.A.D. Next door.
Ms. Barbara MacHenry
Didn't I see Clair earlier?
Kelli Presley
Isn't she upstairs writing a card to her sister?
Melissa Kitt
No, I think her sister picked her up earlier. Remember, this is the occasion for Clair and her sister and her mom to... bury the hatchet and rediscover each other.
Dana Mathis
Oh, I'd like to bury the hatchet with my sister... right in her head.

Friendship and Support in Awkward Moments
Scott
This is Mieke's apartment building. Wish me all sorts of luck, guys.
Jenny
You'll do great, Scotty.
Scott
Thanks.
Cooper
I came all this way. I'm not gonna miss this. Dude, Mieke's hideous! Run!
[''Grandmother greets door'']
Scott
Stop. Hi, my name is Scott Thomas. I'm from America, and I'm here to see Mieke.
[''Mieke's father appears'']
Mieke's father
I'm sorry, but Mieke's not here.
Scott
Do you know where she is?
Mieke's father
She's gone for the summer.
Mieke's father
My daughter had intended to spend the summer in America, looking at colleges and visiting some friends. But several days ago, she suddenly changed her mind. She would not tell me why.
Scott
I think I know why.
Mieke's father
This is Heinrich. He's Mieke's stepbrother. As I was saying, she packed up her bag and left. It was all very sudden.
Scott
Do you know where she is now?
Mieke's father
She's always been very interested in the classics, Greek and Roman literature, history, and she's always enjoyed the ocean, so she found a program that combines all her interests.
Scott
Do you know where she is?
Mieke's father
She enrolled in a summer at sea program, based in ].

Scott
Rome. Okay, then I guess we'll go to Rome, then.
Mieke's father
Unfortunately, Mieke's only in Rome for orientation. Tomorrow her group boards a boat and she'll be gone for the summer. She'll be quite unreachable.
Scott
Unreachable.
Mieke's father
Mieke's tour group goes to the Vatican tomorrow, then she gets on that boat and she's gone.
Scott
So, it's over?
Scott
Thanks for sticking with me through this, guys, but... you should probably call your parents, have them wire you some money and go home.
Jamie
What are you gonna do?
Scott
I'm going to Rome. I'll walk, I'll hitchhike, I'll swim if I have to, but I'll get to Mieke somehow.
Jamie
Maybe that'll help.
Scott
Where'd you get all that? Wait. Where's your Leica?
Jamie
Sold it.
Scott
What? You sold your Leica? But you loved that thing. What about your Europe photo tour, the chateaus?
Jamie
Chateaus have been there for 300 years. Mieke's gone in 12 hours. Let's go! Frommer's says check in three hours before international flights.
Scott
Come here, guidebook!
Jamie
Whoo! We're going to Rome. We're going to Rome!
Tour guide
All right, summer at sea group. Our tour begins in the Vatican museum. This way, please.
Scott
There it is.

Swiss guard
Si, I can tell. How very, very sad.
Jenny
Yes, it is.
Swiss guard

Oh, no. It's okay. I'm catholic.
Scott
Take it off, goddamnit!
Cooper
Oh, you took the Lord's name in vain! Only I can forgive you now, my son.
Scott
Take that fudging thing off!
Cooper
The pope breaks an open-field tackle. It's a Hail Mary, he catches at the forty...the thirty...the twenty...the ten...touchdown, Pope! The pope makes a two-point conversion. And oh, my Lord! It's the Pope, eight, and the heathens, nothing! How's you, sucka?

White smoke! They've elected the new pope!
Newscaster
I'm coming to you live from Vatican Square where the College of Cardinals, in a surprise move, has just elected a new pope. The crowd is very excited.
Jamie
This is so strange. Usually they wait 15 days to elect a new pope. We could be seeing history in the making!
Jenny
We could be seeing an arrest in the making.
Scott
There she is. Mieke! Hey! Stupid curtain! Let me out! Mieke!
[''Spots Mieke in the square from window'']
St. Peter's square man
It's the new pope!
Scott
Mieke! Hold on!

Mieke
From Ohio? Scott? Scott Thomas?
Scott
Yes.
Mieke
From Ohio? What are you doing in Rome?
Scott
I came here to be with you. Listen, I just traveled all the way across Europe. I got chased by naked men. I ate brownies with absolutely no drugs in them. I watched a brother and sister make out. I kicked a robot in the balls, but I did it all so that... so I could tell you one thing. I love you, Mieke.
Crowd
Aww...

We're perfect for each other. What do you think?
Mieke

This sucks. I can't believe I'm the only one who didn't hook up while we were here. Europe is officially the worst country on Earth.
Jenny
I know. I thought I'd at least get to have some crazy European sex.
Cooper
What?
Mieke
Scott, I have to go.
Scott
Okay.
Mieke
My boat is leaving. I still can't believe you came all the way here, just for me.
Scott
What can I say? I'm very unpredictable.
Mieke
Keep writing to me, Scott, OK?
Scott
Yeah, I will.
Mieke
Go.
Scott
Bye. Yes! Yes! Yes! Whoo-hoo!
Scott
Hey, guys, I'm so glad we got to take this trip together. This was the best time of my life.
Arthur
Excuse me. You're the young man who gave me that tour of the Vatican, aren't you?
Jamie
Listen, I'm very sorry...
Arthur
I just wanted to thank you. You were the most knowledgeable, albeit idiosyncratic, tour guide I've ever had.
Jamie
Thanks. But I'm not actually a tour guide. I've just read Frommer's enough to have it memorized. Although I threw in a few things Frommer's didn't know about.
Arthur
How would you like to add them?
Jamie
Excuse me?
Arthur
That's my guidebook. I'm Arthur Frommer.
[''Hands Jamie his [[w:business card|business card]

Jamie
Thanks, Scotty.
Scott
That's from both of us.

Debate Over Christmas Gifts and Traditions
Heather Fitzgerald
Mrs. Mac why don't you open the present we got you?
Ms. Barbara MacHenry
Because we have to open Billy's present first. It's a 15-year old Alpha Kappa Tradition.
Heather Fitzgerald
Okay, I... I drew that name. But can I say, I'm sorry, I'm just? I'm really not okay with this, I mean buying a Christmas present for a serial killer?
[everyone turns to her]
Melissa Kitt
No, you see serial killers murder repeatedly for sexual thrill. Billy Lenz was a spree killer. Dude just fucking lost it. Thank you.
[Kelli gives the juice to Melissa.; turns to Kelli]
Heather Fitzgerald
Oh, whatever, Melissa, okay? I'm just offended by a pagan sacrifice, to ward off evil spirits on Christmas.
Ms. Barbara MacHenry
Heather, we're just having a little bit of fun.
Lauren Hanon
Christmas is more about warding off evil spirits than Halloween. What Christmas shit in this room resembles anything Christian, Huh? It's all neo-pagan magic. Christmas tree, a magical rite ensuring the return of the crops. The mistletoe is nothing but a conception charm. Fifth century Christians jacked a Roman winter festival, 12 days in December where the nights were long and the Earth was roamed by the demons of chaos. And fucking Santa Claus, This fat voyeur that watches you all year long, to make sure you live up to his standards of decency before breaking into your house? And that is different from what Billy did how?
Ms. Barbara MacHenry
Billy didn't break in..., Billy lived here.

Crans Sur Mer has one of the best nude beaches on the continent. However, during the summer, the European women are chased away by gawking male tourists, so Europe's most nubile exhibitionists head to the deserted beach next to the Monument des Poissonieres.

Yeah. You know, she said I might be the one? That's huge. I've never been "the one" before. Thought I was "the one" with Fiona, but turns out I was, what?
