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,
