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.
