Amy Lind:
Oh for goodness sake, Virginia, cut out the nonsense. This is a pre-arranged date and we all know it. I've got to get back on duty by 11, so come on, let's shake our tootsies.



Virginia Brush:

Amy Lind:
Oh 'Amy!' my Grandmother's hot water bottle!

Virginia Brush:
[Biff and Hugo arrive in the park]



Virginia Brush:
Now listen. We won't say a word to them. Just let them pass. Of course if they say something, we'll say something.



Amy Lind:
And if they don't say anything, we won't say anything.



Virginia Brush:
No. Just drop your eyes.



Amy Lind:
Drop my eyes?



Virginia Brush:
Yes. That'll show them we're good girls and they can't trifle with us.



Amy Lind:

Here they come.



Virginia Brush:
[excitedly] They're just trying to make an impression.

Amy Lind:

Amy Lind:

Biff Grimes:
Well, wouldn't you like a nice, young man to marry you someday?



Amy Lind:
No, not particularly.



Biff Grimes:
So you don't believe in the institution of marriage!



Amy Lind:
An outmoded, silly convention started by the cavemen and encouraged by the florists and jewelers. After all, what's marriage?



Biff Grimes:
Wouldn't you like to have a home and kids?



Amy Lind:
Certainly I would, but that doesn't mean you have to go through all the...



Biff Grimes:
You mean - -?



Amy Lind:
Exactly.

Amy Lind:
[continuing her tirade] The tyranny for man or for woman. The stupid convention that says a woman will wear such and such. The...



Virginia Brush:
