Most times I only have to get to the sixes

and they get disgusted and go away.

I can imagine.

Of course it don't do much good

if they hang on through the eights...

...'cause I forget the nineses.

That's what happened that night

behind the bowling alley with Gertrude.

I forgot the nineses.

Toby...

...when you say that you wanna wait,

do you want to?

Does that mean

that you don't wanna fall in love?

- Doesn't everybody wanna fall in love?

- Not me.

Not judging from the kind of love

I've seen people fall into.

Pop had a song that explained it pretty well.

Let me see, how did that thing go?

Show me a girl with a dimple on her cheek

Butter melts in her mouth

When she opens it to speak

Show me a girl who is acting so refined

And I'll show you a girl

with one thing on her mind

So I say, "You know what?"

She says, "What?" I say, "What?"

"Oh, I'm not the marrying kind

"For you've got what it takes

And it takes what you've got

"But I'm not the marrying kind

"Don't kiss me, don't claw me

Don't pet me, don't paw me

"I won't leave my freedom behind"

So I say, "You know what?"

She says, "What?" I say, "What?"

"Oh, I'm not the marrying kind

"You know what?" She says "What?"

I say, "What? Thanks a lot

"But I'm not the marrying kind

"Don't kiss me, don't claw me

Don't pet me, don't paw me

"And I won't leave my freedom behind"

So I say "You know what?"

She says "What?" I say "What?"

"Oh, I'm not the marrying kind

"I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not

And now you've got what I'm not

"I'm not the marrying kind

"Oh, I'm not the marrying kind

"Oh, I'm not the marrying kind"

Come on, Ariadne.

The governor is scheduled to start

from the Coast Highway at 11:00.

I'd hate to miss the dedication.

You certainly got a right to be mighty proud

of this project, Mr King.

Not a tin can or a gum wrapper

along the whole 30 miles.

Stop. Stop, quick!

What in the name of...

What's going on here?

I reckon you're from the government

and I will say it's about time.

I am the State Supervisor of Highways

and I wanna know what you're doing here?

You see, we ran out of gas

here on this road.

Don't give me that stuff.

You've been camping here.

Well, we couldn't camp nowhere else,

because this is where we ran out of gas.

I think you're within 50 feet

of the centre line of that road.

That means that legally speaking,

you're on the thoroughfare.

You could be arrested

for obstructing traffic.

- I don't see any jam up here.

- That doesn't matter.

You can't just camp

on a public thoroughfare as if you owned it.

The way you're talking about it,

you'd think you owned it.

I am ordering you to pack your junk
