Aurahlee Dixon?

Oral sex?

Excuse me, Ray!

We do not say dirty expressions

in this classroom.

Would you like it

if your parents heard

what you just said?

Now, how do you

pronounce your name?

Aurelie.

Auralie, Auralie...

That was oral.

Sexy dog dong.

(chuckles)

Teacher:

That's not funny, Kelly!

It wasn't me.

I had something in my throat.

Well, I hope you all notice

that you should be

especially courteous to me

this year in class

because I am pregnant.

Very pregnant.

And I am focused

on the pink and the blue,

like those cute little booties.

And I am in no mood

for sassers!

Your family

just moved here, Aurelie?

Yes, we used to live in

Washington, D. C.

on an Air Force base.

Really?

Your father a pilot?

Sort of. He was called

a flight steward.

Now he's going to college

to be a doctor!

Probably a brain specialist.

You don't say?

That is fascinating!

Stop it!

I'm watching you!

I don't like your attitude!

Stop it with that gum chewing.

I can hear you

from out in the hallway.

My baby can hear you,

and it's driving my baby crazy.

Well, she's off to school.

Jeanne:
Sink or swim.

Hi.

Hi there.

What are you looking at?

Jeanne:
You. Only in a good way.

You know, Jim...

You might be over 40,

but you're still good-looking.

Oh, really?

Thanks a bucket.

It's true, a lot of men

go over the hill, but not you.

Don't you wanna kiss me?

Well...

Hon, I'm just getting ready

to start my day.

Let's not forget that

I'm taking college-level algebra

when my last class

was high school math.

Needless to say,

I've got some studying to do.

Jim, I think you have

a low sex drive.

No, I have excellent sex drive.

Then there's

something wrong with me

because you have

a low level of interest.

Maybe your level is too high,

ever think of that?

No!

I'm normal!

You're too uptight

to ever have any fun.

I have fun!

Lots and lots of fun events.

Endless amounts.

Maybe it's just that

you've got lousy timing...

When you have nothing to do,

and I have extra time

before work!

(laughs)

Sex is free!

Jeanne, I just put on

my hairpiece.

The glue irritates my scalp,

I don't wanna have

to take it off.

Just lay down with it on!

No, I'm not going to ruin it

because of your urges.

This is

a very expensive hairpiece.

Okay, and it's hot.

So, my head is probably

too sweaty for the adhesive

to work properly again.

But fine.

You want me to do it?

Okay, here we go.

Come and get me.

Jim:
Now is your chance.

You're not making this

appetizing.

Jim:
See? Even now,

all you do is complain.

I am sitting down

in the appropriate position.

The equipment is available.

My treasures are on display,

as you can see.
