- Charles: My job's done.
- Miss Carol: And mine's just starting.
- Charles: Darling, what do you mean?
- Miss Carol: Well, I can't be a child bride but...
- Charles: But what?
- [they kiss]
- Freddie: I'll beat you undressed, Jennie.
- Jennie: Freddie, you ain't goin' swimmin' with me no more. So don't you take your clothes off.
- Freddie: Aw, you're teasin'.
- Jennie: No, I'm not. I mean it.
- Freddie: We've always gone in swimmin' together. Why not now?
- Jennie: Teacher says not to.
- Freddie: Why?
- Jennie: Well, because... because we're not what we used to be.
- Freddie: You mean, we're different. How?
- Jennie: Naw. We're the same, only you can't see me without my clothes on.
- Freddie: How come? I know how you look without your clothes on. I've seen ya lots of times, haven't I?
- Jennie: Yes, I know, but now we're grown up and barin'. Teacher says that I shouldn't put bad ideas into your head.
- Freddie: Aw, shucks. Now I can't kiss ya no more.
- Jennie: Of course you can, silly. Only with my clothes on.
- Freddie: Alright, but I wish that teacher would mind her own business.
- Jennie: Now don't beg.
- Miss Carol: But all I'm trying to make you understand is that you *can't* fight nature's law. Bearing children is a woman's job. Child marriage must go!
