  [runs forward, hugs]

  [softer tone:]

• Natalie Green : Studying in the library is easy. But Neil asked me out on a bona fide go-to-the-movies, have-a-hamburger, walk-home-through-the-park date!

  Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : Finally, something exciting that you can put in your diary!

  Natalie Green : Yeah, but I did some quick figuring. We'll be together for at least four hours. I really like him, but what are we gonna talk about for four hours?

  Jo Polniaczek : Don't worry about it. You can't talk in the movies, and that's two hours right there. You can't talk when you go to eat, you're gonna be chewin'.

  Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : And you won't be able to talk in the park. You'll be too busy... looking out for muggers.

• Edna Garrett : [to the wallflowers]  Girls, can you guess why they're calling these parties mixers?

  Natalie Green : We're mixing, Mrs. Garrett.

  Edna Garrett : Sure you are. With each other.

  Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : Well, we haven't seen each other since breakfast and we got a lot of catching up to do.

  Natalie Green : I might be Tatum O'Neal if I was lucky.

• Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : [taking up Mrs. Garrett's advice]  Shall we take a shot at it, Nat?

  Natalie Green : I don't know. It looks much easier in Teen Magazine.
