Quantum Leap1989

[Sam and Alia are meeting in the library, both unaware of who the other is]

Alia:
I'm sorry Mike was such a jerk today.

Sam:
Oh, it's not your fault.

Alia:
Most of the time he's really sweet. He only acts macho when it comes to his fraternity.

Sam:
Macho?

Alia:
Yeah, I learned it last summer in Spain. It means manly, masculine, *macho*.

Sam:
Yeah, well, he sure likes acting macho when he's out chicken racing with his buddies, doesn't he?

Alia:
Yeah, you're not kidding.

Sam:
Have you ever tried to talk him out of it?

Alia:
He doesn't listen to me. I'm just his girl.

Sam:
Oh, yeah, right. It's the '50s.

[Alia gives Sam a puzzled expression]

Sam:
I mean, I've got this feeling that s-, that someday, men are gonna be much more receptive to the way women think.
