Yes, yes,

that's what I'm saying.

If you need to, then...

Masturbate.

(CROWD BOOING)

Susan, do you masturbate?

-(CROWD LAUGHING)

-I, uh, um... Well...

It's really none of your

business. Do you?

-As rarely as possible.

-(CROWD CHEERING)

SUSAN:
Mr. McKellar,

you are revolting.

I know. Isn't that awful?

(CROWD LAUGHING)

Susan,

is abstinence realistic?

In light of the recent report

"AIDS In The Year 2000,"

that over one-third

of our nation's teenagers

are regularly engaging

in sexual intercourse.

You guys might want to

read that.

-(CROWD LAUGHING)

-Is it realistic when we know

that after homosexuals,

intravenous drug users,

and hemophiliacs,

that teenagers are the highest

risk group for AIDS.

Of course, it's realistic.

Nuns do it all the time.

(CROWD LAUGHING)

Uh, they abstain,

I mean to say.

But teenagers do not.

Research proves

that teenagers are

as sexually inquisitive

as they've always been,

and that the only way

to protect them

is by giving them information

and providing them

with immediate access

to protection.

(CROWD CHEERING)

No, no! Wait a moment.

No. This sounds as if

he's saying

it's okay for them to be

as promiscuous as they want.

No. No, Susan, that's

not what I'm saying at all.

All I'm saying is

light is better than darkness,

knowledge is better

than ignorance.

And it's our duty, isn't it,

to make sure that

the young people

of our great nation

don't die?

(CROWD CHEERING)

(WHISTLING)

Hey, you know, Monica,

I'm gonna go call my folks.

-Okay.

-So, uh, I'll see ya.

My pleasure. Take care.

-Bye, guys.

-Bye-bye.

Hey, what do you say

you let me buy you

a cup of coffee.

-Come on.

-I can't. I have to study.

Chicago,

what are you afraid of?

I'm not afraid of anything.

I just can't date

until I'm sure I can

handle the work load.

I'm sorry.

(STUDENTS CHATTERING)

-You were really good today.

-Thanks.

You're welcome.

Charlie, please,

nobody's trying to

put you on the spot here.

We all know how tough

the conference is.

My God, Charlie,

we finished second

at the pass two seasons.

Nobody's implying

you have slipped,

but we all wanna be

back on top, don't we?

You win the conferences here,

Gar could be debating

for a national title

in front of the Supreme Court

this spring.

And my media people tell me

there's gonna be

national network coverage.

Charlie, you know

what that means?

CHARLIE:
Yeah, it means

your son's face will be known

to half the homes in America

before he even goes

to law school.

-61.9% of homes.

-(LAUGHING)

Senator, listen, I'd kill

for a national title,

but I don't think your son can

pull that miracle off alone.

We got some terrific kids
