Scott
This is Mieke's apartment building. Wish me all sorts of luck, guys.

You'll do great, Scotty.

Thanks.

I came all this way. I'm not gonna miss this. Dude, Mieke's hideous! Run!
[''Grandmother greets door'']

Stop. Hi, my name is Scott Thomas. I'm from America, and I'm here to see Mieke.
[''Mieke's father appears'']

I'm sorry, but Mieke's not here.

Do you know where she is?

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

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.

Oh... but we are a private tour group. We've come all the way from America. That guy in the orange jacket is mentally retarded.

Swiss guard
Si, I can tell. How very, very sad.
Jenny
Yes, it is.
Swiss guard
But if you are a tour, where is your guide?
Jenny
We've got a fantastic tour guide. Right here.

Swiss guard
Oh. Okay... um... if you'll all follow me, please. Have a very special day for a very special little man.
Cooper
Okay. I can't believe that guy let us in. What a retard!
Swiss guard
Scusate. One of our English-speaking tour guides has called in sick. Could you please take these peoples also?
[''To Jamie''; ''Points to a tour group'']

How big is Vatican City?

[[w:Papal apartments|the appartamento papale]
Mieke
Excuse me, miss. What is this?
Tour guide

[[w:Sistine Chapel|the Sistine Chapel]
Cooper
Come on. I think I hear them.
Scott

Hey, check it out! I wonder what this does.
[''Pull's on bell rope'']
Scott
It doesn't do anything, it's a rope. Come on, let's go.

Cooper
They got a lot of old stuff here.
St. Peter's square man
Dio mio! The bell of San Marco! The pope is dead!

Cooper
Hey, check this out! I'm the pope!
[''Puts on a [[w:mitre|pope mitre]
Scott
Cooper... take off the pope hat.
Cooper
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?
[''Puts a mitre on Scott'']
Scott
Cooper, the hat! The hat! The hat is on fire!

Whoa!
St. Peter's square man
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!
[''After he disguised as the pope, he leaps onto a banner curtain'']
St. Peter's square man
This is one crazy pope.

Swiss guard
But I am Swiss!
Maynard
Them, too! Now, bud... you get in there, and you say what you got to say.

Scott
Mieke. I'm here. I made it.
Mieke
Who are you?
Bert
What a fucking loser! I'm gonna videotape this.
Scott
I'm Scott.
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...
Scott
We're perfect for each other. What do you think?
Mieke
I think...
Scott
Oh, Mike... Mieke!
Old woman confessor
Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. I have cheated on my husband. Do you think God will ever forgive me?
Mieke
Oh, yes!
Old woman confessor
Father?
Cooper
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
It's amazing! Frommer's is going to pay me to see every museum and cathedral in Europe.
Jenny
That sounds so exciting... for you.
Scott
I figured, since you're going to be staying, you might need this. A disposable camera. That's right.
Jamie
Thanks, Scotty.
Scott
That's from both of us.
Cooper
Hello, Mr. Walters. I see. Fired? Well, I... Well, if that's what you want, I understand. I just... goodbye, sir.

Scott
They had to catch you eventually, right?
Cooper
No, they fired Humphrey.

Shut up!
Cooper
I got his office and a raise.
Jenny
No!

That's you guys. Have a good flight, everybody.
Scott
Come here.
[''They hug'']
Jamie
Be good. Oh! Okay... Cooper, have a good flight. Be good.
Cooper
Thanks. I'm on it.
Cooper
This still counts as Europe, right?
[''In the toilet'']
Scott
Dear Mieke, Greece sounds incredible. I just moved into my dorm room today, but I can't wait to see you over Christmas break. This time I think I'll fly to Berlin direct." Hello?
[''Typing e-mail''; ''Answers phone'']
Cooper
Hey, buddy, how's college?
[''Walking across campus quad'']
Scott
I just got here. My roommate hasn't even showed up yet.
Cooper
Do they room all you ] together?
[[w:Pre-medical|pre-med geeks]
Scott
I'm not sure I'm going pre-med. I'm thinking about majoring in German.
Cooper
German? I've got a better idea. Why don't you major in not being such a woman?
Scott
So, how's Jenny?
Cooper
Jenny... Jenny who? I know a lot of ladies named Jenny, they're all... ow!
[''Jenny slaps him on the head from off-camera and takes his phone'']
Jenny
Hey, Scotty, what's up?
Scott
Hi, Jenny! How's Jamie doing with Frommer?
Cooper
Oh, no. Hold on. Come here, robot!
[''Cooper has spotted a gold-colored busker performing a robot dance'']
Jenny
Cooper, not again!
Scott
Hold on, this could be my new roommate.
[''Hears a knock on his dorm door''; ''Opens door to Mieke'']
Cooper
What's the freak look like? Is he a dork or is he cool? Better not be cooler than me. Is he bigger than me?
[''With the busker in a head-lock and Jenny holding up phone to him'']
Mieke
I just got your last email.
Scott
What are you doing here?
Mieke
Going to college.
Scott
You're going to college here? What dorm?
Mieke
This one. Room 214.
Scott
How is this possible?
Mieke
I guess they thought I was a guy.
Scott
Now who would be dumb enough to make a mistake like that?
Cooper
Do I hear kissing? Are you making out with your new roommate, Scotty? Scotty?! Scotty?! Scotty!

This happy ending is bullshit. When does the fairy get laid? I'm outta here.

If you do not wish to have your valuables stolen, I suggest destroying them or discarding them right now. You can also try hiding your valuables... in your anus.
Madame Vandersexxx
Drink? I'm gonna rip away his pants and look at his dick, Okay? Ready?
Cooper
Quit.
Madame Vandersexxx
Shut up. Sorry. I know I fucked it up. Yes! You take her hair... and one strand at a time, pull it out! Use her like a humping post!
Cooper
Jenny, this is Europe. They have orange juice ads with lesbians and dildos. Show them something they haven't seen.
Amsterdam hostel concierge woman
Should a fire occur, due to our faulty wiring, or the fireworks factory upstairs, you will be incinerated, along with the valuables you have hidden in your anus.
