That's a pretty ring you're wearing (looks at Vada's mood ring)
It's a mood ring. It tells me what mood i'm in.
TJ Thomas J
It doesn't work, it always stays black.
It's only black when you're around, because you put me in a bad mood.
Maybe black means you're happy?
I don't think so. Shelly how can I get $35?
TJ Thomas J
She's crazy, She wants to go to school over the summer.
It's not a real school, it's a writing class. I want to be a writer.
TJ Thomas J
She just wants to go just because her sweetie pie's her teacher.
I think you'll make a fine writer. Have you asked your dad?
My mommy and daddy did that?
It's actually a very beautiful thing. And look, there wouldn't've been a Vada.
I think it should be outlawed. (doorbell rings) Oh, that's probably Thomas J. I don't wanna see him.[On menstruation] It's not fair. Nothing happens to boys.
TJ Thomas J
Hi Vada. Can you come out?
TJ Thomas J
Please, it's real hot, maybe we can go swimming.
No! [Shoving Thomas J off her porch after getting her first period] Get outta here! And don't come back for five to seven days!
TJ Thomas J
Where are you running to?
California. I'm going to Hollywood to live with the Brady Bunch.
TJ Thomas J
I wanna live with them too.
No, you can't. They have enough kids. You'll have to live with the Partridge Family.
Why do you think people wanna get married?
TJ Thomas J
When you get older, you just have to.
I'm gonna marry Mr. Bixler.
TJ Thomas J
You can't marry a teacher, it's against the law.
TJ Thomas J
Yes it is, 'cause then he'll give you all A's and it won't be fair.
Not true [Pause] Have you ever kissed anyone?
TJ Thomas J
Like they do on TV? No.
Maybe we should,, just to see what's the big deal.
TJ Thomas J
But, I don't know how.
TJ Thomas J
Like this? [They practice kissing on their arms]
OK, 'nuff practice. [to Thomas J] Close your eyes.
TJ Thomas J
But then I won't be able to see anything,
TJ Thomas J
OK, OK! [He closes his eyes]
OK, on the count of three. [Leans over] One, two, two and a half, three [Vada and Thomas J kiss] Say something, it's too quiet.
TJ Thomas J
Umm, Ummmmm...
TJ Thomas J
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America...
VA Vada and Thomas J
...And to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Amen.
TJ Thomas J.
[Thomas J. returning in the woods, he starts searching for a mood ring. He softly kicks the beehive when the bees slowly encounter at him. Then, Thomas J. shoving in the leaves, he founds Vada's mood ring]
Yes. [as he trying to get back home... All of a sudden, however, he reacting to the bees, last words] No. God, no. Get away. Ow... Get away! [his glasses falls on the ground as the slow-motion effect]
