I'm going to let John Truett kiss me tonight.

Esther Smith!

Esther

Well, if we're going to get married, I may as well start it.

Nice girls don't let men kiss them until after they're engaged. Men don't want the bloom rubbed off.

John If you're not busy tomorrow night, could you beat me up again? Esther You've got a mighty strong grip for a boy. Tootie Here comes the invalid. I have to have two kinds of ice cream. I'm recuperating. Mrs. Smith If I ever catch you fibbing again like you did about John Truett, I'll give you something to recuperate about. Mr. Smith I've got the future to think about. A future for all of us. I've got to worry about where's the money coming from. Lon in Princeton, and Rose going to college... Rose Money! I hate, loathe, despise, and abominate money! Mr. Smith You also spend it.
