A scene from My Girl 1991
Vada

Why do you think people wanna get married?

Thomas J

When you get older, you just have to.

Vada

I'm gonna marry Mr. Bixler.

Thomas J

You can't marry a teacher, it's against the law.

Vada

It is not.

Thomas J

Yes it is, 'cause then he'll give you all A's and it won't be fair.

Vada

Not true [Pause] Have you ever kissed anyone?

Thomas J

Like they do on TV? No.

Vada

Maybe we should,, just to see what's the big deal.

Thomas J

But, I don't know how.

Vada

Practice on your arms.

Thomas J

Like this? [They practice kissing on their arms]

Vada

OK, 'nuff practice. [to Thomas J] Close your eyes.

Thomas J

But then I won't be able to see anything,

Vada

Just do it!

Thomas J

OK, OK! [He closes his eyes]

Vada

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.

Thomas J

Umm, Ummmmm...

Vada

[agitated]

Just hurry!

Thomas J

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America...

Vada and Thomas J

...And to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Amen.
