(looking at Barbara and thinking out loud) Gee, I think I’d like to take
Barbara to the movies…
(running out onto the rocks, finding Barbara, pushing her back) Feynman has
something to say to you, Barbara!
(People gathering around Feynman and Barbara) Well, say it. Feynman! Say
it! Say it!
(feeling very embarrassed and a bit stuttering, talking to Barbara) Well,
Bar… Barbara. Would…would you….
Say it! Loudly!
Would you like to go to the movies with me?
Yeah!!! (looking at Barbara) Barbara, would you like to go to the movies
with Feynman?

I’m going to take Barbara to the movies this Saturday evening.
Barbara? The girl you’ve been talking for weeks?
Yes, I finally plucked my courage and asked her out.
Well, son, I’m happy for you. Since this is going to be your first date, I have
to give you some tips.
Thanks, mom. I’m all ears.
First of all, you have to show your manners.
Like what?
For example, a polite guy opens doors for girls and steps to the side while
the girl passes through.
So showing my politeness is very important. Then, what should I say on my
first date?
Don’t talk about yourself all night. You should find something nice about
your date and compliment her. And don’t forget to thank her for the date.
Thanks, mom. I’ll keep these tips in mind.

Mmm… How are you tonight?
I’m fine. Thanks.
Say, do you play the piano?
Yes, I’ve played the piano since I was four.
My mom took me to a piano lesson when I was four, too. She made me learn
piano for a while. But after six months, I couldn’t stand it anymore.
Why?
You see. I was worried about being a sissy. Practicing the same piece of
music was too much for me. So, I quit.
Are you still worried about being sissy?
Sure. It even bothers me when my mom sends me to the market to buy some
snacks.
(laugh politely)

This is a good movie.
Sure it is.
And your gloves you are wearing are nice too.
Thanks for your compliment.

Goodbye, then.
Thank you for a very lovely evening.
You’re welcome. (feeling terrific)
