can I help it if she's in two of my classes great excuse always nagging you make me sick H Lori You Don't Own Me Jimmy let's not fight like this again we shouldn't keep fighting like this not when we mean so much to each other maybe maybe we're not a suit for each other as we thought Jimmy Lori you know I didn't mean that look we'll be together tonight don't cry you know Lori I've been thinking what was my going way to visit my dad this summer and you're staying here and all that maybe it'd be better if we well if we kind of stopped going together exactly better for you huh better for both of us sure don't be like that look you and I we' got years ahead of us all sorts of things can happen they already have at least you didn't get pregnant yeah at least I didn't get pregnant are you sorry about us sort of I thought it was for Keeps I didn't too it's just that well we haven't gotten along all that well have we no we have thought a lot lately I guess it's like you always said sex isn't everything between two people no maybe someday it'll be different maybe someday we'll get back together again maybe [Music] put your books down Lori I want to talk to you okay Mom what's on your mind your friend Jimmy's on my mind mind I like him but don't you think you're seeing a bit too much of each other I don't know could be I know you're attracted to him and it's natural but being together so constantly are you afraid I'll get pregnant frankly I rather you didn't don't worry I'm not interested in getting serious not yet how does Jimmy feel well I kind of think he might have an idea of well you know but if he ask I'll tell him no way what are my girls talking about sex what else good subject add any new angles not really I guess it's just the same old story mom I don't know I think today A girl has more options what was birth control more available and on the other hand there's more pressure for young people to have sex before they're emotionally ready for it now you're sounding like my biology teacher don't don't worry mommy like you always say I'll look before I leave sound judgment kidy I'm sorry Jimmy but I'm not about to get pregnant and I'm not about to take the pill or anything else but we've been going together so long you know how I feel about you I thought you liked me too well I do but I'm not about to go to bed with every boy I like who said every boy I said me well I know but I'm just not in a hurry to try all that I want to stay the way I am for a while okay look at Marion she started taking the pill when she was going out with Bob now she's going out with her third boyfriend and she really doesn't like him that much I mean where does it all end but we're different Maybe but you know how many couples who used to be so thick that don't even talk to each other anymore they didn't really love each other either do we I mean for always and [Music] always hi stranger hi how you doing good oh it's good to see you it's good to see you too look I'm sorry I got to be off I got an after school job Bag Boy at Benson's so I heard I'm going to get rid of that old piece of junk I got and buy myself a new car can I take you out I love it [Music] great see that's what they call a transverse engine what's a transverse engine well it means it comes like this instead of going like that like I thought you came to take me for a ride I did hop in it's neat really is I he you won your tennis challenge match yesterday yeah I'm moving up into number four position we've got a really good team this year great you know Lori I was kind of dumb about us I mean breaking it off and everything when you didn't see things my way well I've thought it over a lot and I decided that you were right it's nice of you to say that Jimmy I mean it honest no law against us being friends is there no I'd like that Jimmy what made you change your mind I mean about us and everything well it's kind of hard to say say this but um I think I was pressuring you so I could prove something to myself you know be a big man can you understand that yeah I think so you know there's this guy down where I work got himself into one hell of a hassle with this girl he was going with sure glad I wasn't him so well after hearing his story you know it seemed to me that you were sort of sensible about not wanting to risk getting into all that you can say that again I got a lot of places I want to go I got a lot of things I want to do and the way I see it sex can wait until I'm ready for [Music] it
