DR. ABBOTT: Naturally. Didn't you?
DR. BROWN: I brought...
[He lets a condom strip unfold down.]
DR. BROWN: ...condoms.
DR. ABBOTT: Good luck, Doctor.
DR. BROWN: Don't forget: when you go over the symptoms of gonorrhea, talk slowly. Odds are there's at least one kid in your assembly who has it.
[Dr. Abbott shifts about uncomfortably.]
DR. ABBOTT: Thank you.
[They head inside.]
[Cut to the boys' assembly. Dr. Abbott walks in. Bright, who is sitting in the audience, looks uncomfortable.]
DR. ABBOTT: [to everyone] Hello. My name is Dr. Harold Abbott. Ah lets... let's start out with some basics.
[He shows up a medical diagram of the female genitallia. The boys wolf whistle and laugh. Dr. Abbott puts the diagram on its stand.]
DR. ABBOTT: Please note that my presence here today is in no way...
[Cut to the hospital in Denver where Colin is. Amy is sitting on a chair next to him. Ephram is sitting just outside the door.]
AMY: Kim Iron asked David Lee, which no one ever thought she'd have the nerve to do. I swear, ever since she got her braces off, she's like this totally different person. And he said yes, which was so cool. Oh, and the decorating committee's going all out this year. Ally's mom wants to turn the gym into a magical forest. I know it sounds bizarre but, Ally said her mom's practically a professional at this stuff so... should look amazing. I guess now the only thing that's missing is you and me, which is why I'm here. I know it's last minute and everything but...
[She pulls out her decorated pine cones.]
AMY: Will you go to the dance with me? [No response] You can say yes anytime, Colin. Just open your eyes and say yes. Just open your eyes, Colin, please.
[He remains motionless. Amy looks at him hopelessly.]
[Cut to the Brown house. Dr. Brown and Delia have just walked in.]
DR. BROWN: ...and the Question and Answer session went great. I have no idea who Dr. Drew is, but apparently, I kick his butt.
DELIA: [not interested] That's great, Dad.
DR. BROWN: You seem upset, Kiddo. Is something wrong?
DELIA: It's Magilla.
DR. BROWN: The bully? Is he bothering you again?
DELIA: Not exactly. You see, when it's just me and him, he's nice to me. But when other people are around, he says I'm diseased.
DR. BROWN: So, you like him?
DELIA: I sit behind him in Miss Violet's class. And sometimes, I just wanna put my hands on his shoulders.
[Dr. Brown looks uncomfortable.]
DR. BROWN: Um, maybe we should see if Nina's home.
DELIA: I don't understand. Why doesn't he want anyone to know that he invited me over? I wanna tell the whole world.
DR. BROWN: Well, you know, honey, boys and girls are are very different. Not just how they look on the outside, but how they work things out on the inside. For instance, when you wanna be friends with a boy, you might wanna bake him cookies.
DELIA: And touch his shoulders?
DR. BROWN: [very uncomfortable] Right. OK... but if a boy wants to be friends with you, he might punch you. As a sign of friendship.
DELIA: Really? 'Cause he did flick my cap.
DR. BROWN: [concerned] He did!?
[The phone rings. Dr. Brown gets up to answer it.]
DR. BROWN: Hello? He wasn't. All of his classes? No, no, I haven't.
[He covers the phone with his hand.]
