yes mom, i've got it. what's that? oh yes, the ticket he told me about. well let's see what he has to stay. here's the latest on my broken ankle. doc says i'll be alright. only i have to stay off my feet for a week or so. anyway, here the ticket for the hi-teen carnival. it's too late to turn it in, so you have yourself a time. and tell me all about it. one couple. that means a date. not like just going around with the crowd. just me and a girl. well that's alright only what girl? who? how do you choose a date? whose company would you enjoy? well, one thing you can consider is looks. woody thought of janice how good-looking she was. he'd really have to rate the date somebody like her. yes, he'd enjoy that. except, well it's too bad janice always acts so superior and bored. she'd make a fellow feel awkward and inferior. well perhaps someone who doesn't feel superior. there's betty. and yet, it just doesn't seem as if she'd be much fun. what about ann? she knows how to have a good time and how to make the fella with her relax and have fun too. yes, that's what a boy likes. he wants to know he's appreciated. ann would be fun on a date. so woddy decided he'd ask ann for this first date. but just how it should he ask her? and what if she refused? no, it won't be easy asking for that first date. well woody, hi. hi ed. what ya doin? just thinkin. don't work too hard. ed, is this private? no. stick around if you like. well, hellow edward. i thought i heard you come in. hi mom. what's for supper? oh, mom. is it alright with you if i have a date saturday night? why of course. you generally go out on saturday. hello, may i speak to marry please? but mom this is different. a date. well, i haven't asked her yet. but i'd like to ann davis to the high-teen carnival. oh, ann's a nice girl. but, a date? well, you're rather young. oh, mom. give him a break. i think he can swing it. we all have to start some time. well... if you don't overdo on dating. ed knows what i mean. weekend only. and not too late. thanks mom. oh marry, i just called to check on tonight. i think i can get by a little earlier than usual. how's ? all right marry. bye now. boy, you sure make it sound easy. how do you do it? practice my boy. experience. but i don't think i'll know what to say. what to talk about. don't worry about that. just be your natural talkative old self. come on, le'ts see what's for supper. wait a second. oh mom, is the floor dry yet? yes, you can come in. hello, mmm mrs. davis? this is woody. i mean, alan woodriff. may i speak to ann. how do you ask for a date? what about this? ann... well uh how about a date? well... well really. no thanks woody. hmm. well suppose he did it this way. hi ann? what ya doin saturday night? well i... i guess i'm busy. oh yeah? any chance of giving him the brush off for me? well of all the nerve! well, is there another way? ann? this is woody. i had a ticket for the high-teen carnival saturday and... wel, would you like to go? why, yes woody. i have to talk to my folks about it. but i think i can go. that'll be fun! yeah. well, should i pick you up about 8 o'clock? that's fine woody. 8 o'clock saturday. i think it'll be alright, but i'll let you know for sure. bye. a date with woody. saturday. come in. hi ann. hi judy. what are yout doin'. why aren't you the little inquisitive little sister. i'm getting ready for my date tonight with woody. oh, he's nice. a date huh? what'll you do? go to some fancy place for dinner. no, silly. we're going to the high-teen carnival. and then he'll bring me home. oh, that doesn't sound like much. we'd have fun at the carnival, wouldn't we? oh yes. well, woody and i are going to have fun in just that way. i think the important thing about a date is to have a good time. you don't need to spend a lot of money to do that. just enjoy whatever you do. wheter it's the movies, or parties, or anything. and you leave your boyfriend with enough money so he'll ask you again. my, you'll be out late. why not particularly. mom and dad and i have an agreement about what time to come in. look, will you get my stockings from the bathroom? sure. mom! mom! do we have any cleaning fluid? there's a spot on my coat. goodness, you know we have some. oh dear, let me. no, i'll do it. that's it son. look your best. your first date is mighty important. yeah. dad, were you excited the night of your first date? i sure was. so was i. i took my date seriously. a date was a major event. when the night of my first date my date had a flat tire and he was an hour late. and he didn't even bother to call me. well, when he finally came i had to run upstairs and do my face and my hair all over again. ooo, i was so upset. that fella had a lot to learn about girls. your mother lost all interest in him after she met me. and the moral of that story is... that i should be on time tonight. right? you bet. and the same goes for ann. any girl who can't be ready on time for a date isn't good enough for my boy. well, what are you doing? oh, go find a mirror so you can see yourself. hi woody. oh, hi ed. good nigh eh? yeah. flowers. ann won't expect flower, will she? huh? oh, i hardly think so. i'm taking these to marry because it's a special occasion. but of course if you want to take flowers anyway i guess there's no law against it. but i don't have to unless it's a ritzy affair. that's the general idea. flowers are for a prom or a very special party. otherwise you don't need to. say, i have to run. me too. see you later. i'm going folks. alright ed. have a nice time. but when you having much fun, time goes all too fast. well, it's the time ann had set for getting home. and now goodnight. the end of a perfect evening. but how do you say good night? perhaps... don't please! but ann. or it could go this way... well, so long. just like that. after all a girl likes to know you've had a good time. so let's try saying good night again. one more away. well, it's getting late. yes, it is. i'd ask you in for a bit to eat if it weren't so late. let's plan to get home in time for a sandwich or something next time. say, that sounds good. i'll call you next week. will you? well, thanks so much. i had loads of fun. so did i. goodnight woody. goodnight ann.
