Original subtitles

And do you want to go for a ride or not?

Let's go.

I made my dad a good job and I got well paid.

I blew it all at the payday.

A hundred dollars on a Cupid's dot.

No pretty chick is gonna make me crawl.

We'll be right back.

Oh, dog.

Hello, my love.

No way.

Yes. All right. Yes.

Get in the car.

What is wrong with you? What's wrong with you? And when did you start hanging

out with guys like that?

They go to my school.

They asked me if I wanted to hang out today, and that's all we're doing,

out and listening to music.

No, I've heard the music. I know the music. And when did you start listening

that music?

It's rap.

I like it.

No, no, that's not rap. It's some kind of perversion of rap. In fact, I think

it's an insult to the African -American community for you to call that rap.

So don't be looking at me, Simon. I'm not going to help you here.

Get in the car.

No.

And by the way, who I hang out with and what music I listen to is none of your

business.

Seven heavens, when I see their happy faces smiling back at

me.

Seven heavens, I know there's no greater feeling than the love of

family. Where can you go

when the world don't treat you right? The

answer is home.

7th Heaven 7th Heaven

7th Heaven

Did you see those guys? Those are not guys Simon should be hanging out with.

And I really find that music disturbing.

I do, too. So maybe the thing to do is get Simon over here and hang with him.

Talk to him. It's hard to be cool at that age.

He's just trying to find that certain bad attitude that attracts women.

At least guys that age think a certain bad attitude attracts women. Well, they

aren't going to attract women by blasting music that talks about beating

are they? Not likely.

I'm taking the car back to my uncle. Then I'm going to work. I'll see you

you come in. I'm working a double shift.

You're not just gonna sit around here all day waiting for Heather, are you?

I'm gonna sit around here and study.

Who is it?

Pants.

Pants who?

Pants Daddy.

Your mother went pants shopping. I'm dropping off your share of the pants.

What?

Evidently, everyone in the family needs pants.

Wow. These are nice.

They're like, uh... Big boy pants?

Yeah. Why'd she buy these?

Evidently, she felt you needed them.

For? She thought you might want to go out sometime.

I believe she put it in something other than jeans.

So she thinks I want to go out sometime.

Yeah. With Heather?

With Heather?

I asked you.

Are you seeing Heather again?

No. She came by to see me.

Oh. But I'm not going to see her again.

I'm not interested.

I met someone.

But I think Heather's interested.

Which is why she left the note.

and Mom bought the pants.

That's quite a theory.

Yeah.

So who are you interested in?

Oh, just a girl I met.

Hmm.

So, um, you know where Simon is?

Uh, he was hanging out with some new friends at school.

Mm -hmm.

What, he's not hanging out with new friends from school?

Oh, he's hanging out with them, all right. Have you met them?

Oh, have you met him? No, but I've seen him.

Have you seen him?

Oh. I'm gonna talk to him.

Why are you gonna talk to him?

Well, you'll know when you see these guys.

Where did you see them?

When I was driving John around in his uncle's convertible. Why were you

John around in his uncle's convertible? So he could sing a B .B. King song.

And you were worried about Simon?

Yes, and by the way, do you know what kind of music Simon and his friends are

listening to? You know, our whole relationship has become just a series of

questions and answers, hasn't it?

Yeah, so answer me this.

Why is it that mothers just know how to pick out pants?

I mean, have mothers been buying pants for their sons since the beginning of

time? Did Mary buy pants for Jesus?

So you think Jesus wore pants to you? Ring, ring. Is that the phone?

Oh, thanks for coming by. Look, love to mom. Great pants.

I'll see you in church.

You're not just waiting around here so you can tell Heather you're not

interested, are you?

No.

Well, I'm going to church.

If you happen to bump into your brother again, tell him to drop by or call.

Look at you.

You look like you need a man.

I think he just called you a bad word.

A really, really bad word.

Hey, look.

The little one knows what I called her sister.

But the sister don't know.

Or she know it true.

She know it true?

Look, you ignorant little... What are you, a pimp?

Get away from me.

Nice one, Matt.

All right.

Gotta go.

Do something.

Like what?

Like get that guy out of here.

He didn't hurt you. He slapped me.

From the looks of it, it couldn't have hurt.

You're disgusting.

In fact, you're just as disgusting as he is.

I want to see the manager.

That'd be me.

Next in line.

What's a pimp?

It's a guy that hates women.

Hey, congratulations.

Congratulations on what?

On being a woman? On my being slapped?

Or being called that name? But maybe you didn't see or hear that guy. Or maybe

you didn't think that he did anything other than hurt my dignity. And that's

okay, huh?

Is that what you think?

No. I meant congratulations on being our 100th customer today.

You just won three tickets to the 39 concert and a free CD.

No way!

Who? 39.

Hottest selling teen band in America.

I've never heard of them. Good. You can drag me.

I've heard of them.

Thanks, mister.

39?

Isn't that Simon with the woman hitter?

You know that guy?

That's Norton. He's a friend of mine. Why?

A friend from where? Where did you meet him? At school.

Where did you get these clothes?

Oh, these are my clothes. I just made a few adjustments. Like it?

No, not especially.

Simon, your friend, called me a name and slapped me on the butt in the record

store. Norton?

He was just kidding around. Believe me, he couldn't have been serious.

Simon, he slapped me.

Well, he didn't hurt you, did he? Yes, he hurt me.

He humiliated me.

And that hurt.

A lot.

What do you want me to do about it?

I want you to understand that I am not a punching bag.

I am not a trash can that guys can throw their filthy thoughts or words into.

I am a person, Simon. I am your sister.

Do something.

Oh, no.

Hey, Mom, that pimp behind you just called Lucy a bad word.

This is my mother. This is my sister.

So this is your mother.

I see the resemblance.

And I like it.

Well, what you say, Mama?

I say you're all pathetic. Go home.

Why don't you go home?

You don't belong on the streets.

Because you've got no respect for me.

For no man.

Maybe I should teach you some respect.

You want a piece of this?

I brought seven kids into this world. I can take one out.

Are you looking at me?

Are you looking at me?

Huh?

You better be looking at me, because I am one good -looking man, and it's

ladies' night, so come on over. Yeah.

Hi.

Look, if this is about Mary, I don't think this is a good time for you to

This is Reverend Camden.

Reverend Camden, this is Cheryl.

This is about us.

We want to get married.

I just saw Ruthie. What's up?

One of my friends is goofing around, and he may have gone a little too far.

May have?

Ruthie, upstairs, please.

You too.

What the heck happened?

Simon's little friend... Norton.

Simon's little friend Norton harassed Lucy in the record store. He called her

name, slapped her on the derriere before exiting the record store where he then

harassed and threatened me. And the name he called Lucy?

The B word. What?

I'm gonna... I'm gonna...

No, I took care of it. She threatened to beat him up.

Talk to him. Then I'm going to talk to him. Then I'm going to go over to his

little friend Norton's house and talk to Norton and Norton's mother.

Where did you get those pants?

Matt's. There's old ones.

Do you know where that particular fashion trend got started?

Prison.

You know where you're going if you keep wearing your pants like that?

Prison. Come on.

But we can get back to the pants. Who's Norton? He's the guy I go to school

with. Other than that, what made you want to choose to be friends with this

Norton chose me.

And he asked me if I wanted to hang out today.

He's probably not someone I want to be friends with now, but aren't you making

too big a deal out of this?

Back up to probably. He's probably not someone you want to be friends with?

Probably?

Which brings us to, can we make too big a deal out of someone calling your

sister that word?

Are you out of your ever -loving mind?

I'm not ha - I'm happy about it, Dad, but guys do say that word all the time.

You actually think there's a justification?

It was probably a really, really bad word when you were growing up, but I

think it's that bad anymore.

It's lost some of its edge because it's on TV, it's in movies, it's on

practically every CD.

You really don't get this, and rather than hear any more about the extent to

which you don't get it, I'll explain it to you.

This is the oldest hate crime on Earth. This is the hatred of women.

It's wrapped up in a thing called harassment.

Okay, I get it.

But please, don't let Mom go over to Norton's house.

Let me handle this. I'm begging you. If either of you go over there, this guy's

just going to make me look like a big baby, and that's all I need.

Robbie and Cheryl, his fiancée, are in your office?

I didn't have a chance to tell you. That jerk has a fiancée?

Yes, and it's not our daughter.

Well, I hope you're not planning on marrying them because we know how Robbie

Palmer treats women.

Which could mean, of course, that he's just telling us that he's getting

so that we'll tell Mary that he's getting married so she can track him

tell him not to get married.

I think the bride -to -be looks a little too happy to be up to any scam.

No, they want to get married.

Well, then she's got to be pregnant because he's not the marrying kind.

Well, I've married pregnant couples before. It's not the best way to begin a

marriage, but it's not the worst either.

No, the worst place to begin a marriage is with a partner who has no respect for

women. Maybe he's changed.

You wouldn't marry the guy off just to keep him away from our daughter, would

you?

Of course not.

I shouldn't keep them waiting.

What's the good time?

It's probably not going to get any better today.

Go.

We'll get out of your way as quickly as possible.

Maybe please go to the concert.

I don't know. You seem a little young for a concert.

Are you familiar with this band, 13 or 47 or 79 or whatever?

I listen to the CD, and there's nothing harmful about the lyrics.

Other than they say the same thing over and over and over again.

What are the songs about?

What? Love.

Right.

It's really innocent.

Their biggest hit is called Puppy Me, Puppy You.

It's about puppy love.

Real puppy love. A golden retriever puppy, to be exact.

Fine.

But if it's a rough crowd, I want you to come home immediately.

I sincerely doubt it'll be a rough crowd.

But if it is, we'll be right out of there.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I've got to go get ready.

Do you think Mary still talks to Robbie?

Mary doesn't talk to me, so I don't know.

Do you know that Robbie's getting married?

I knew you were listening.

Sort of.

How do you do it?

How do you just get past being called that name and forget about it and go on?

told you.

I don't like it, but I've just become immune to it. Don't become immune to it.

Because it's wrong.

It's just wrong.

Are you stacking the CDs for the ORs?

Yes, Dr. Walker, I am. I'm scheduled for OR 3 at 7 a .m. Put this in the mix.

I listened on the way over here.

Great.

Hold on, Doc.

I'm sorry, I can't help you out.

Why not?

Because I can't take responsibility for putting this into the consciousness of

the world, much less the subconsciousness of some poor patient.

If you want to hear that, you've got to take care of it yourself.

You're kind of making yourself not needed, aren't you?

And if you're not needed, well, what happens to your job?

That was the threat, wasn't it?

It's okay, really, it is, because I am certain, absolutely certain, that if it

came down to firing me for refusing to play this music, that nobody on the

hospital board would do it.

How dare you talk to me like that? How dare I not be afraid of you?

Because I'm right, and you know it. I would have thought that you like this

of music.

Why?

Because I'm black?

Well,

that's a very wrong assumption, Dr. Walker, and prejudicial.

Which doesn't surprise me at all, because when a man listens to this kind

music, it means he has a prejudice against women.

And men who hate women hate a lot of other people, including minorities.

I think that's a wrong assumption on your part. I don't hate anyone.

That CD has sold millions of copies. You think everyone who listens to it hates

women. Yes, I do.

Really? Yes.

Really and truly.

Okay.

Okay, maybe you're right.

I never really thought about it.

I apologize.

I'm under a lot of pressure, and there's no justifying it, really.

I apologize.

Apology accepted.

Maybe I can buy you a cup of coffee sometime.

I overheard you talking to Dr. Walker, and I was wondering if I might buy that

cup of coffee for you myself.

Maybe when I get off work?

No, you may not.

But I'd be more than happy to buy you one.

My name is John Hamilton.

I know. I've seen you here before. I've asked around about you.

I'm Priscilla Carter.

I'm a volunteer.

So, what time would you like that coffee?

Afternoon shift is over at four. I usually take a break then.

Okay, so I'll meet you in the cafeteria at four.

Okay.

Oh, heaven.

Hey.

Is that your girlfriend?

I just met her, but it would be nice to have a girlfriend.

How you doing?

Really well, thanks.

Matt got your note.

I was hoping I'd find him here.

No, he didn't make the schedule today. Matt has a lot of studying to do, so

probably at home right now. So, if you want to go over, I could give him a call

and make sure he's there.

I just came from there.

But if we talk soon, can you tell him that I'll be dropping by again? You're

around seven?

I have something I want to tell him.

Okay.

Oh, what's going on?

I didn't see you come in.

He came over to pick me up.

I hadn't really pictured you leaving the house quite yet.

I'm not sure I pictured you leaving the house before Christmas.

Mom, you have to let me talk to Norton.

And I want to talk to him over at Matt's, where it's just the guys and no

parents around.

Well, isn't that what went on today? Just the guys and no parents around?

Let him talk to him. If you and Dad go over there, you're just going to make

look bad in school.

I feel bad about what he did. It was wrong.

And I want to tell him how wrong it was. Me.

Not my mommy or my daddy. You guys are just dying to embarrass me. The only

reason you're talking to me is because you don't want me to talk to him. That

doesn't make you the man here.

You have to want to talk to him because what he did was wrong.

Fine, it was wrong.

But I want to know that he knows that it was wrong. I want an apology.

I have to get him to apologize?

Yes. And it better be a real apology.

Those are the new pants I bought you?

Yeah, thanks.

Don't they look great, huh?

It's kind of a shame wasting them on us. You know, those pants need to be dry

cleaned.

What are you smiling about?

Did Dad tell you Heather left me a note?

She wants to talk to me?

No. He didn't tell you that? No, but he didn't even tell me that Mary's old

boyfriend, Robbie, wants to marry his old girlfriend, Cheryl, and that they

your father to tie the knot.

Robbie's getting married?

Unless your father comes through and does the right thing, yes.

I don't want to sound redundant. I know I probably said this a half a dozen

times already, but now that I think of it, it actually is a classic.

Marriage is a big step.

Yes, a step in the right direction.

Still, it is a big step.

It is. I'm just agreeing with the Reverend.

Robbie and I have been together for a long time.

We love each other.

It's time we were a family.

Well, it's nice to have a family.

My family split up years ago, and my mom lives with her boyfriend.

And you live... I live in the apartment I've had since I was 16, and my mother's

boyfriend wanted me out of the house.

And the two of you will be living at her apartment, or what, with Robbie's mom?

Robbie's mom just took off.

Robbie, your mom took off? We were having financial trouble.

She moved to Florida.

My oldest brother's in school down there. What about the house?

The bank came after.

She gave it up.

So where are you living now?

Oh.

Is that why you're in such a hurry to get married? Because you're living

together?

Any answer will do.

Look, I'm not here to judge you. I'm just trying to get to know you.

I don't have to live there. I have a job.

But he likes living there.

Is there any particular reason why you wanted me to marry the two of you?

Not like we know a lot of ministers. And I want a church wedding.

Robbie said he thought you'd do it.

And it's just that, well... You already know what kind of guy I am.

So I wouldn't have to explain that to anyone.

Is there something you're not telling me?

No.

Okay.

Well, um... Cheryl and me...

Cheryl and I... Well, uh...

We're gonna have a baby.

We're leaving!

Have a good time. Remember the rules!

Why are you wearing that? Why are you wearing that?

Is that Happy's collar?

I brought it. I'll give it back.

No! No?

You gotta be kidding.

Me? Yes, you.

You can't go out in that, that, what?

The costume.

Who are you dressed up as?

I think she's dressed like the band.

Now can we go? We're gonna be late.

This whole day is making my head hurt.

I wasn't going to let her out of the house like that.

Thank you. Look, I volunteered for this evening, and I'm responsible.

Please, I'll take her upstairs and explain to her why she can't dress like

But everyone's going to be dressed like this.

All the girls going to the concert dress like this.

You're the one who's going to look weird. I'm not changing.

You are changing. First your clothes, and then your attitude.

What are you going to say to Simon?

I'm going to tell Simon that he needs to have a word with his mother about the

way she treats his friends.

Then I'm going to try to get a sister from him.

So you don't think this music has anything to do with the way these guys

around women?

It's just music.

I swear Norton was just kidding around.

It was supposed to be a joke. He just made a bad choice in words.

He wasn't going to try to teach Mom anything. Come on.

So explain it to me. What's the joke?

Seriously, what's funny about intimidating or humiliating Mom or Lucy

other woman with words like that? Who are you?

Tipper Gore?

What's wrong with Tipper Gore?

You know, I happen to think she's right. I do. As crazy as that sounds, I do.

I mean, you can't print the lyrics to these songs, so how can you sell the

stuff? I would have been better off with Mom and Dad.

Yeah, probably.

When did you get so conservative?

Oh, maybe after watching a long line of battered women come in and out of the

emergency room.

But that has nothing to do with this music.

This music never hurt anyone.

You're kidding yourself.

Millions of guys listen to this music. Do you know how many copies of that CD

were sold?

No, I don't, and I don't care. And I don't hate anyone personally. I don't

to be part of some larger group hate against half the population.

You say this is about hate, but the guys who make that CD, they say it's about

love.

Have you ever seen these guys in concert? There are black people, white

all kinds of people.

Again, you're kidding yourself. This is about anything but love.

I mean, there's no justification for making it seem as if any segment of the

population is less than human.

That's what this music does.

And when you take that idea and you say it over and over, that idea becomes part

of the overall consciousness.

It's propaganda, Simon. That's how propaganda works.

And the fact that it's propaganda and song and people are making millions of

dollars off of it doesn't mean that it's right.

Yeah, but right or wrong, this is about free speech.

What happened to the First Amendment?

What happened to it?

Shank versus the United States, that's what happened.

You can't yell fire if there isn't one. There's no fire, Simon. There's no

enemy. Women aren't the enemy. Ignorance is the enemy.

I know that.

No. No, I don't think you do know that. And if you have no understanding of the

issue, what's your strategy for getting this Norton to apologize to Mom and

Lucy?

How are you going to do that when you're really Norton's protector and advocate?

I am not. I barely know him.

I just don't want to ruin my reputation in high school.

Exactly what do you want your reputation to be?

The concert starts in 15 minutes. We can still

get there if you want. I'm not changing.

Fine. Don't change.

But you're too young to dress like that.

Let me give it a shot. I don't want Ruthie to miss her concert.

I cannot let you go to the concert dressed like this, even if every single

there is dressed the same way.

You don't understand.

What don't I understand?

It's fun to dress like this. It's sexy.

What is sexy?

Do you think you should try to be sexy if you don't know what sexy is?

Ruthie, I don't think you're too young to dress like this. I think you're too

smart to dress like this.

Oh, boy, here it comes.

Lecture launched by a compliment.

See how smart that is? What a great observation, Luz. Come on, sit down.

for you, too.

I think you should be able to dress

any way you want.

Your hair, your makeup, your clothes should be an expression of who you are.

In an ideal world...

you should be able to walk down a dark alley late at night wearing a tube top

and a miniskirt, if that's what you want.

You're both beautiful girls, and you both have beautiful bodies.

However, and this is a big however, so pay attention, this is not an

ideal world, and you cannot walk down a dark alley late at night in a tube top

and a miniskirt.

Any more than you can go to a concert wearing a dog collar and a bikini.

There are some men who think of women as things.

To them, we all look alike, sound alike, behave alike.

Because to them, we are things.

Things to be owned, things to be dominated, things to be used and abused.

Because we are less than they are.

We are less than human.

Those men have all sorts of excuses for their bad behavior towards us.

They saw the bad behavior at the movies.

They are animals, and their bad behavior is part of their nature.

We are worthless, and their bad behavior is their right.

Every excuse in the world.

But these excuses did not begin with bad TV or movies or music or tube tops and

miniskirts.

These excuses have been around probably since the first man tried to explain

away his bad behavior or be punished for it.

Blaming the way we dress for their bad behavior is wrong.

It's also wrong for you to take away your own individuality by mimicking what

you see instead of being who you are.

Be brave.

Be you.

Be an individual.

I haven't heard anything yet that would make me want to apologize if I were

Norton.

What's with you?

I just had a date with Miss Wright.

I'm not kidding you. I just met my future bride.

Uh -huh. Well, I met mine last week, and this week I don't even know where she

is. Well, I have an address.

A phone number. And I'm taking her to church tomorrow.

Did I interrupt something?

Simon's friend Norton is coming over.

Uh -oh.

Uh -oh what?

I forgot to call you and let you know Heather's dropping by.

When? How do you know this?

I bumped into her right after I bumped into Ms. Wright.

And she should be here around 7.

Norton should be here around 7.

Back away or I'll hurt him.

Do something before this idiot hurts someone.

These guys tried to attack me.

It's okay.

Simon, my man, we were just having a little fun. Let me up. I don't know what

happened. I got out of my car and all of a sudden they came up to my face and

started pulling my clothes.

What is wrong with him?

You are going to go over to my house and you are going to apologize to my mother

and my sister for what you did. But not before you apologize to Heather. That's

my brother's friend.

She's deaf, man. How could you? I didn't know she was deaf. Lighten up.

You know she was a person, didn't you?

Looks like the apologies are going to have to wait.

These guys are attacking.

Nice try, Sonny. One of the neighbors called it in. She's an all -on video.

Shh. Baby's thinking.

Come in.

Thanks, but no thanks.

What? Is Robbie with you?

No. I wanted to talk to you alone.

And then maybe you should talk to Robbie alone.

Oh, okay.

I'm not pregnant.

I thought I was, but I'm not.

I've known for a few days, but I don't want to tell Robbie because I know he

won't marry me.

I guess he has to know, but remember, if you don't marry us, he'll end up with

Mary.

He thinks he loves her, but I know he loves me, too.

And I love him.

I really, really love him.

I know you do.

Otherwise, you wouldn't be telling me this.

Are you sure you're okay?

I'm fine.

It wasn't the first time I had to defend myself, but I'm happy you came out of

the building when you did.

Well, it looked as if you had everything under control.

Mom thought it was a good idea for me to take some classes back in high school,

and she was right.

What? I never knew that about you. You know, that's your new self -defense.

There's a lot you don't know about me.

You passed?

Oh, yes.

My mom bought them.

They look good.

I came over here tonight to tell you something.

I'm dating someone.

And before anyone else told you, I thought I should.

Before anyone like my mom told me?

She doesn't know.

But I was afraid she would see us or you would see us.

Why is that?

He's a professor at Crawford.

Oh.

But is that ethical?

It's fun.

Really, he's a nice man.

He's a little older than me, but he's a very nice man. And I'm on his class.

He just teaches there.

I hope the new pants weren't for me.

No, they're just new pants.

You were the best dressed man at the police station.

Ah, thanks.

I never liked that kind of music.

But I never really thought about how much it affects our society until I saw

those tapes of the young women being attacked.

Central Park last time?

That was so bad.

But then, my sister, my mother, women in general, for all of us, that kind of

humiliation and assault happens every day in this country.

We hear it on the news, we read it in the newspapers, but we never see it up

close and personal like those tapes show it.

And you have to ask, who was making the tapes? Why?

Where were the police? Why didn't anybody stop those guys?

Then I realized,

Those guys are everywhere.

They're all over the world. And as the world gets smaller, the hatred of women

seems to be getting bigger.

The way you look, there's men trying to prove their manhood by how much they can

oppress women.

I thought we were past all that, but I guess we're back to all of that. And the

only way I know how to stop it is to voice my concerns about it and not

that type of mentality in any way.

I don't buy music with lyrics that are oppressive.

It's wrong, Simon.

And it's wrong for August.

Matt told me what happened.

What are you going to do when Norton comes to school on Monday?

Norton's not my biggest worry.

My biggest worry is that you might never respect me as a man.

Because I acted like a stupid kid today.

I'm just trying so hard to find a way to fit in.

I'm still trying to justify my stupidity.

You raised me better.

You deserve better.

I'm still learning about this stuff, but I promise you, I never want to be a

part of anything that humiliates you and Lucy and Ruthie.

I love you, Mom.

I'm really, really sorry.

I can't believe she would trick me.

But she did eventually.

Tell you the truth.

I'm not talking about that.

I'm talking about she tricked me into having sex.

Tricked you?

She told me she had some kind of female problem that would clear up only if we

had sex.

Some sort of plumbing disorder.

A birth defect.

That could only be cleared up with sex?

You really should not be out there having sex if you don't know any more

women than that.

No, you shouldn't be.

Having sex, period.

Take some time off.

Absorb some of the lessons you've learned here today.

Like?

Just give me a for instance.

For instance, you don't have sex when you're not married.

One reason being you might get pregnant and marry someone that you don't want to

be with for the rest of your life.

Yeah, that's good. Not to mention that it's not right to have...

A child suffers for a lifetime of being in the middle of a bad relationship

because you couldn't sacrifice one night of sex.

That's good, too.

Not to mention that the only way to get respect from a woman is to show respect

to a woman.

What does this have to do with respecting women? I mean, I respect

You took my daughter to a motel to have sex with her, trying to talk her into it

by telling her how much you loved her, all the while...

Still seeing Cheryl, your girlfriend, for several years.

You're still mad about that, aren't you?

Yes, I am.

But my point is that you don't lie or cheat or

use women if you have respect for them.

Right. I think you might want to write that down.

Okay.

Good evening, ladies.

Is that what you wore to the concert?

No, I changed my mind about the concert.

We went to a hamburger drive -in, ate in the car, and talked.

Now I don't have to get dressed for bed. Isn't that cool?

Yes, it's very cool.

So, have you talked to my sister lately?

Yeah, I told her I was getting married.

I heard.

Congratulations.

Good night.

Good night.

Better be going.

Wait.

Will you be talking to Mary again?

I don't think so, Reverend Camden. I think I should just let her think I got

married. That way she knows for sure it's over and she can find someone in

Buffalo.

It'll help her settle in there.

Maybe she'll go to school, make some real friends, you know?

On the other hand, if I'm to be respectful of my daughter, I have to

the truth.

I hope she gives you the chance.

Look I know she's not talking to you, but she can't stay mad at a nice guy

you forever Thanks for saving my life I Mean that
