Eurotrip Vs Love Actually (aka Crazy Sex: America or Europe?)

Eurotrip, though just another teen movie, has a few good soundbites.

# While goin to Europe
Scott: Hey, thanks for coming with me. I know you had that internship at the law firm this summer.
Cooper: Oh, forget about the law firm. And don't thank me, I should be thanking you. This trip is a once in a life-time opportunity for me to broaden my sexual horizons.
Scott: What are you talking about?
Cooper: I'm talking about crazy European sex.
Scott: Ah.
Cooper: "You know America was founded by prudes. Prudes who left Europe, because they hated all the kinky, steamy European sex that was going on. And now I, uh, Cooper Harris, will return to the land of my perverted forefathers and claim my birthright, which is a series of erotic and sexually challenging adventures."
Scotty: "You've really thaught a lot about this, haven't you?"
Cooper: "It's my passion."

# While coming back from Europe
Cooper: This sucks, I didn't hook up with one European chick while I was here, Europe is officially the worst country in the world.

# Of course I find the slur on India disgusting
Scotty: "We're going to be couriers?"
Cooper: "It's the best way to get a cheap flight. All we have to do is carry their packages and then drop them off when we get there. My cousin did it when he went to India."
Scotty: "Yeah?"
Cooper: "Yeah. Of course, he, uh, ended up using a public restroom in New Delhi and, uh, the had to cut off his leg. You know. But he got there cheap."

# An American's World ver1
Scott: [after being told they can get a flight to London] Anything else?
Cooper: England is the size of the Eastwood Mall. We can walk to Berlin from there.
Scott: Cooper, London is an island.
Cooper: OK, swim, whatever. We'll take it.

# An American's World ver2

Coop? Cooper, we're going to Paris.
I know. Cecil told me.
Mieke's in Berlin. We're not going to Berlin.
What are we gonna do? We need a plan.
See what I'm talking about? This is predictable Scotty talking.
Relax. Paris is practically a suburb of Berlin. It's a nothing commute.
That's why France and Germany have always been allies.

* Eurotrip's Cooper's fascination with Europe for 'crazy sex' reminds me of Colin of Love Actually, whose ideas are just the same for America!:
Colin: American girls would seriously dig me with my cute British accent.
Colin: I am Colin. God of Sex. I'm just on the wrong continent, that's all.
Colin: Watch out America, here comes Colin Frissell!
