  Oscy : Why not?

  Benjie : Because it's stupid!

  Hermie : No, I hate to break the news to you, Benjie, but that's the way its done.

• Hermie : Benjie, if you just look at the pictures it does look dumb. But, if two people are in love, it's supposed to be very pleasant.

  Benjie : Oh, how do you know? You've never done it!

  Hermie : It's right here in the book! In black and white and color. That's why people kiss first. It gives them a chance to get to know each other. Then, once they get to know each other, they fall in love. And once they're in love, they make love.
