NICOLE
Why did I ever let you talk me into taking Human Sexuality? I thought I was going to throw up.
MAGGIE
Are you kidding? This is the greatest class I've ever taken!
NICOLE
Well, sure! You're the teacher's pet!
MAGGIE
So? He's pretty cute for an old guy.
NICOLE
That's just disgusting. I want to think of my professors as being completely asexual. Like Ken and
Barbie dolls. Actually, that goes for everyone over 30.
MAGGIE
I thought you were going to crawl under your chair and die.
NICOLE
Oh, believe me, I wanted to. I don't know where you find the nerve to say those things.
MAGGIE
God, Nicole, if you can't even say "penis," I shudder to think what you'll do when you
actually get to see and touch one.
NICOLE
(Pause.) I'm going to die a virgin.
