A lot of it's imported.

- Are you all right?

- I'm fine. Why, don't I look fine?

- I don't know, it just seems like-

- I'm not.

- ls it that girl at the punch bowl?

- No.

It's nothing.

Particularly not that girl at the punch bowl.

Why didn't you tell me about him?

Because he's not worth mentioning.

He's a creep.

You made love to him, didn't you?

- Did you make love to him?

- No.

- Honest?

- Honest.

Do you love him?

I have to go to the library. I'm really behind.

That's what I should've done.

I didn't study all this week.

Me, neither.

Want some?

Good morning, everybody.

You're gonna have to talk to me

sooner or later.

- No, thank you.

- All right. Here we go.

I've got a very pleasant surprise today.

Comes from an unlikely source.

Walter Gibson.

It is called The Sure Thing.

"'lt could be tonight,' he thought...

"as he stood in the corner,

pretending to have a good time.

"He would meet her tonight.

"All his young life,

he had dreamed of a girl like this.

"5'6", silky hair...

"trim, nubile body..."

"Nubile," by the way, is spelled with a "u."

"...nubile body

that really knew how to move...

"and soft, deeply tanned skin.

"Now, as for personality traits,

she needed only one.

"She had to love sex, and all the time.

"To arrive at this moment,

he had traveled vast distances...

"enduring many hardships:

"abject poverty, starvation...

"show tunes, you name it.

"From across the room he saw her.

She was perfect.

"He knew almost nothing about her,

and she didn't know much more about him.

"lt was exactly how it was supposed to be.

He brought her to his room.

"The lights were soft, the moment was right.

"Then she leaned over

and whispered in his ear:

"'Do you love me?'

"Thoughts raced through his mind.

Did she really want him?

"What had he done to deserve this bounty?

Does God exist?

"Who invented liquid soap, and why?

"'Do you love me?' Staring into her eyes...

"he knew that she really needed to hear it.

"But for the first time in his life,

he knew these were no longer just words.

"And if he said it, it would be a lie.

"'Do you love me?' she whispered.

'Do you love me?'

"lt would not be tonight.

"The answer was'no."'

He was a traitor!

You didn't sleep with her?

Still seeing Jason?

We broke up.

That's too bad.

You didn't sleep with her.

She wasn't my type.
