:44:04
Maybe yours was better.
Hey, want to trade books?
:44:08
No. I'd be too embarrassed.
:44:14
That's your whole trouble, Norman.
:44:17
Everything embarrasses you.
Everything frightens you.
:44:20
I know.
:44:22
And I'm sorry we started talking
about all this.
:44:26
Hey, Norman, look... .
:44:31
It's about time you learned that girls
want to do the same things as boys.
:44:38
And they have the right to know how.
I mean, I think we should help each other.
:44:43
- Are you suggesting that...?
- Norman, don't get me wrong.
:44:48
All I want is some normal,
intelligent discussion...
:44:52
...and maybe some normal affection
between a boy and a girl, nothing more.
:44:57
Everybody in this town hides
behind plain wrappers.
:45:02
You're so afraid.
:45:06
You've even been afraid
to ask me to the graduation dance.
:45:09
Allison, I want... . Well, see,
I'm just not asking anybody.
:45:14
- I'll be there, but I can't ask you.
- Why not?
:45:18
Well, my mother.
:45:21
Your mother.
:45:24
Well, she wouldn't actually forbid it.
:45:27
It's just that she gets jealous
of anybody at all...
:45:30
...that I spend my time with.
:45:33
You don't know her.
:45:35
You don't have to live with her.
:45:39
But she's my mother.
:45:41
There's nothing I can do about that.
:45:44
You don't have to tell me
any more, Norman.
:45:46
Please, Allison,
I've gotta tell somebody.
:45:49
She won't let me have friends.
:45:52
She... .
:45:56
She makes me tell her 10 times a day
how much I love her.
:45:59
She's afraid she'll die alone
in a poorhouse.
