[07:55.82]You're so eager to find out ... makes a man feel as if it's all worthwhile.
[08:01.99]Can you believe this?
[08:04.10]Oh, sure. Can't you?
[08:06.69]Yes, well, I told him how much you liked young Kyle, and how you'd been wishing he'd ask you to the prom.

[09:37.33]Father knows better.
[09:41.12]So this is our new student, is it?
[09:46.42]That's right.
[09:48.51]What's your name,young lady?
[09:51.70]HEIDI Thompson.
[09:53.58]I'm sure you'll find the students friendly. And the

[10:02.20]She is an exceptional young woman, you know.
