Miss Marquez
- George: I want to be a gynecologist.
- Miss Marquez: If that's so, then I want good reasons why.
- George: *You're* the reason why, Miss Marquez.
- Jack: Miss Marquez, I was thinking that maybe if you didn't have anything to do, you might want to go to the dance with me. It'd be really, really fun.
- Miss Marquez: Oh, Jackie.
- Jack: So you wanna go? My mom will drive us.
- Miss Marquez: Jack, you don't wanna go with me. I'm an old lady.
- Jack: That's why. That's why I wanna go with you. I can't go with the girls my age, because I look so much older than them. You look just like me.
- [moves in quickly, kisses her on the lips and smiles nervously]
- Miss Marquez: [stunned] Jackie. Jack. You are still a very young man, up here
- [motions to his head]
- Miss Marquez: . I know I look closer to your age than the girls in class, you're right about that.
- Jack: So what time should my mom and I pick you up?
- Miss Marquez: [she becomes blunt] Jack, you are my student, and I am your teacher. And teachers and students don't go to dances together. Do you understand that?
- Jack: [tearing up] Please?
- Miss Marquez: No. I'm sorry honey. It just wouldn't be right.
- [Jack begins to cry and runs out of the classroom]
