[first lines] Radio disc jockey: [on radio] Hi, everybody, this is your Cousin Brucie. Whoa! Our summer romances are in full bloom, and everybody, but everybody's in love. But cousins, here's a great song from The Four Seasons. Baby: [narrating] That was the summer of 1963 - when everybody called me Baby, and it didn't occur to me to mind. That was before President Kennedy was shot, before the Beatles came, when I couldn't wait to join the Peace Corps, and I thought I'd never find a guy as great as my dad. That was the summer we went to Kellerman's.

Baby: Me? I'm scared of everything. I'm scared of what I saw, I'm scared of what I did, of who I am, and most of all I'm scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I'm with you.

Baby: Have you had many women? Johnny: What? [laughs] Baby: Have you HAD many women? Johnny: No, No Baby: [jumps out of bed] Johnny: Look, you've gotta understand what its like baby, you come from the streets and suddenly your up here, and these women are throwing themselves at ya, and they smell so good, and they really take care of themselves, [getting dressed] Johnny: I mean I never knew women could be like that, you know? And their so rich, they're so goddam rich, you think they must know about everything. And they're slipping their room keys in my hands, two and three times day, different women. So here I think I'm scoring big and for a while you think hey they wouldn't be doing this if they didn't care about me, right. Baby: That's alright, I understand you were just using them that's all [looks depressed] Johnny: No, no that's not it that's the thing see baby it wasn't like that, they were using me [Baby kisses him and they fall back on to the bed]

Robbie Gould: I didn't spend all summer long toasting bagels just to bail out some little chick who probably balled every guy in the place.

[brings out a copy of The Fountainhead from his pocket] Robbie Gould: Read it. I think it's a book you'll enjoy, but make sure you return it; I have notes in the margin.
