About the speech...Sarah doesn't watch the show Everwood does she?
*thinking about Bright's speech to his girlfriend*
Okay, here's the speech. Lane is a teenage girl from a strict, religious Korean family, in Dave's band.
DAVE: I'm here to see your mother.
LANE: What?
DAVE: Excuse me.
LANE: Dave, Dave, wait!
[Dave walks into the house and over to Mrs. Kim]
DAVE: Excuse me, Mrs. Kim, I need to speak with you.
MRS. KIM: I'm busy, David.
DAVE: A few weeks ago you told me that Lane had a crush on me. Well, I have a crush on her, too. Now, I know you have very strict rules about dating and boys, but I just want you to know that I'm a good person. I don't smoke, I don't drink, I've never gotten a ticket, I'm healthy, I take care of myself, I floss. I never watch more than 30 minutes of television a night partly because I think it's a waste of time and partly because there's nothing on. I respect my parents, I do well in school, I never play video games in case they do someday prove that playing them can turn you into a serial killer. I don't drink coffee. I hate soda because the carbonation freaks me out. I'm happy to give up meat if you feel strongly about it. I don't mind wearing a tie. I enjoy playing those hymns on my guitar, and I really, really want to take your daughter to the prom.
[Mrs. Kim doesn't say anything]
DAVE: Mrs. Kim? Please don't make me repeat that list again.
MRS. KIM: Let never day nor night unhallow'd pass, but still remember what the Lord hath done.
DAVE: Okay, thank you.
[Dave and Lane walk outside.]
DAVE: Did you hear what she said?
LANE: Yes, I did.
DAVE: What did it mean?
LANE: I don't know.
DAVE: Was it a yes, was it a no?
LANE: I'm not sure.
DAVE: Well, it's gotta be from the bible, right? So I'll just go home, do some research, look on the Internet, see what I can find. I'll call you when I know something.
LANE: Okay.
[He kisses her, then leaves]
LANE: I'm so writing him a song tonight.
......
(later in the show)
[Lane starts to go up to her room. The doorbell rings and Mrs. Kim answers the door. Dave is on the porch]
DAVE: I stayed up all night. I read the entire bible cover to cover. I don't know what it means.
MRS. KIM: David.
DAVE: You have to tell me what it means. Is it yes, is it no? I can't feel my right elbow anymore. I don't even know why, but I can't.
MRS. KIM: David.
DAVE: Please, just tell me. I'm so tired.
MRS. KIM: It's not from the bible.
DAVE: What?
MRS. KIM: It's Shakespeare, Henry VI. I like to goof off now and then, too, you know.
DAVE: Shakespeare.
MRS. KIM: That is a very difficult this to do, reading the bible in one night. I myself have only done it three times. You need great determination and excellent light. I'm very impressed. All right.
DAVE: All right what?
MRS. KIM: You can go to the prom, but you cannot get married.
DAVE: That seems fair to me.
LANE: And me! The person who is going upstairs to think about what she's done.
MRS. KIM: Lane is grounded until the prom and for two months after. You may call her on the phone every other day for ten minutes and that is all. Understand?
DAVE: Yes, ma'am. Thank you, Mrs. Kim.
