Man #1:
If you had a choice...
Man #2:
Yeah?
...would you rather
love a girl,
or have her
love you?
I'd want it mutual.
If you couldn't
have it mutual.
Would I rather be
the one who loves,
or is loved?
Yeah.
It's not that
easy a question.
I think I'd rather
be in love.
Me, too.
I wouldn't want
to get hurt, though.
You were in love
with Gloria.
I was starting
to be in love with her,
then she let me feel her up
on the first date.
Turned me right off.
You kept going
with her, though.
Well, she let me
feel her up.
( both chuckling )
Yeah, what
about Gwen?
Her I could talk to.
I've never been able
to talk to any girl.
I was really getting
crazy about her.
She's stuck up.
Wouldn't let me
lay a hand on her.
So I went back
to Gloria.
Well, you want
perfection.
What do you want,
wise guy?
She just has to
be nice, that's all.
You wouldn't
want her beautiful?
She doesn't have
to be beautiful.
I would like her
built, though.
I want mine
sexy-looking.
I wouldn't want her
to look like a tramp.
Sexy doesn't mean
she has to look
like a tramp.
There's a middle ground,
you know?
I would want
that, yeah.
Tall, very tall...
Eww, that
would scare me.
( both chuckling )
She should be very
understanding.
Start the same
sentences together.
Yeah, I'd like that.
Big tits...
( both chuckling )
Yeah, but
still a virgin.
I don't care
about that.
Come on.
I wouldn't mind
if she was a little
ahead of me,
with those big tits,
and knew hundreds
of different ways.
I want more
of a companion.
The other stuff
I can get on
the outside.
The first time
I do it,
I want it beautiful.
I don't want to
waste it on some beast.
I feel the same way
about getting laid
as I feel about
going to college.
I'm being pressured
into it.
You like that?
Yeah.
I give her to you.
What's wrong with her?
I'm a generous guy.
Yeah, I'm grateful.
How do I break
the news to her?
You go over there.
Yeah?
There's a way to talk
to girls, you know?
Tell her a joke.
What joke?
Tell her about
your unhappy childhood.
That's not bad.
But don't make it
like an act.
No.
Go ahead.
Go ahead, schmuck.
If you don't, I will.
You?
You can't even stand up.
I f***ed up.
It's my turn.
What do you mean,
it's your turn?
She's mine,
you gave her to me.
You struck out.
I get two more times
at bat.
This is
the first time
I've ever been to
a college mixer.
- Me too. I hate them.
- I hate them too.
It's such a phony way
of meeting people.
Everybody
puts on an act.
So, even if you
meet somebody,
you don't know
who you're meeting.
'Cause you're
meeting the act.
That's right,
not the person.
I'm not sure
I agree.
- With what?
- With what you said.
No, I don't either.
You don't agree
with what you said?
How do you
feel about it?
like to think they're
putting on an act,
but it's not an act,
it's really them.
If they think it's an act,
they feel better,
because they think
You mean, they're
kidding themselves,
because it's not
really an act.
Yes, it is an act,
but they're the act.
The act is them.
But if it's them,
then how can it
be an act?
- Because they're an act.
- But they're also real.
- No.
- I'm not real?
- No.
- I'm an act.
It's all right,
I'm an act too.
Don't you behave
differently with
different people?
No.
With your family?
I thought you meant
different people.
Well, sure,
with my family--
And with friends,
you're another way.
Well, sure,
with my friends.
And with your teachers,
So which one is you?
Well, when you
put it that way...
You ought to be
a lawyer.
I'm gonna be
a lawyer.
A lady lawyer.
Um... you're from
Smith, right?
Uh-huh.
Do you like it?
Yeah, I like it
all right.
Do you like Amherst?
Sure,
why shouldn't I?
My parents worked
very hard to send me.
I'd better like it.
Do you have a name
or something?
Susan.
I'm Sandy.
I think you can
make out with her.
Think so?
She's stuff.
You think so?
I wouldn't kick her
out of bed.
I shouldn't try
somebody else, then?
Who?
( both laughing )
She was the best-looking
girl at the whole mixer.
I'll say that
for her...
Wasn't she?
Her tits were too small.
Yeah, I was
thinking that.
The hell with her.
But her legs were great.
You think so?
Standing so close,
I really couldn't
tell about her legs.
I wouldn't
kick her out of bed.
She's got some
funny ideas.
I wouldn't kick her
out of bed.
Don't rush me,
please.
What's the matter?
I like you
very much, Susan.
It's our third date.
I like you too.
You let me
kiss you last week.
And this week.
If I could kiss you
once last week,
I should be able to
kiss you at least
twice tonight.
- Well?
- You're the only boy
I know that
I can talk to.
I can't see you
being quiet
for any guy.
No, not quiet,
exactly.
But if you know
somebody's not going
to approve of
what you are...
- Whatever that is.
- Whatever that is.
Well, you just
don't tell him.
I mean, if I like
a boy and I want him
to keep liking me,
and I'm brighter
than he is,
I have to not show it
or I'll lose him,
so it's hard.
Well, I wouldn't want
anyone overly bright.
Yeah, but you wouldn't
feel threatened.
I might be bothered
a little.
I don't think
much as some people.
Now, for instance,
someday I want to
write novels.
Not now, but you know,
later on,
when I have
something to say.
Now, that doesn't
threaten you, does it?
- No...
- ( bell tolling )
Maybe a little.
Don't press so hard.
See, it's better
when it's gentle.
See?
What are you
grinning at?
Did you
feel her up yet?
Come on,
I like this girl.
I don't want
to ruin things.
Was I right
about kissing her?
Listen, we had
a big fight over it.
And you won?
Well, I don't know
if I won or not.
Why are you
letting yourself
be pushed around?
You're the one who's
pushing me around!
I guess I won.
Sure, I won.
She kissed me
five times.
Now, that's when
you should've
put your hand
on her tit.
Come on, when this girl's
nice enough to kiss me,
I should do that to her?
You act as if she's
doing you a favor.
Well, it is sort of
a favor, isn't it?
I mean, when a girl
lets you kiss her
and, you know,
go on from there.
Feel her up
and, you know,
the rest of it.
Go all the way
and the rest of it.
I mean,
isn't it a favor?
What's in it for her?
I mean, if she's not
getting paid or anything.
F*** you.
( laughing )
Okay, okay,
I'll feel her up.
Sandy, please take
your hand off my breast.
- Why?
- 'Cause I want you to.
How can it be any
fun for you if you
know I don't want it?
I didn't say
it was fun.
Then why is your
hand where it is?
Because,
the way we're going,
by this time,
I should be
feeling you up.
I don't feel that way
about you, Sandy.
I feel that way
