Never Been Kissed Page #5

Synopsis: Josie Geller (Drew Barrymore), a baby-faced junior copywriter at the Chicago Sun-Times, must pose as a student at her former high school to research contemporary teenage culture. With the help of her brother, Rob (David Arquette), Josie infiltrates the inner circle of the most popular clique on campus.

JOSIE:

I'm concentrating on my career

right now.

ANITA:

Do you own any colored underwear?

Stripes? Anything?!

JOSIE:

(embarrassed)

Anita!

ANITA:

Look. You're way under 30, you're

cute, some guys find white Carter's

underwear sexy—

(beat)

If you talk to his nose, you don't

even notice the eye.

Josie laughs in spite of herself.

JOSIE:

The right guy is out there. I'm

just not going to kiss a whole

bunch of losers to get to him.

ANITA:

Yeah, but sometimes kissing the

losers can be a fun diversion.

JOSIE:

When I finally get kissed, I'll

know.

Anita and Cynthia trade looks.

ANITA:

Okay. If you've never kissed a

guy, we got bigger problems than

the underwear.

JOSIE:

I've kissed guys. I've just never

kissed a guy. Felt that thing--

CYNTHIA:

"That thing"? Is that what you

kids are calling it these days?

JOSIE:

That thing. That moment. You kiss

someone and it's like the world

around you gets all hazy and the

only thing in focus is you and

this other person and you know

that one person is the person you're

meant to be kissing for the rest

of your life. And for that one

moment you've been given this

amazing gift and you want to laugh

and cry at the same time because

you're so lucky you found it, and

so scared that it will all go away.
