JUDY
first time I`d ever seen a dead body.
But then when I was fifteen the most terrible thing happened.
The Ted Mack amateur hour held auditions in St. Louie
and I didn`t hear about it `til after they`d gone and I nearly killed myself nearly killed myself.
I tried to walk in front of a speeding street car and I remember noticing boys for the first time.
(speaks)
Anyway, I remember etc.
practicing kissing with another girl
So that when the time came you`d know how to (Listens)
No Oh.

KRISTINE
Judy

JUDY (hopeful)
Did you, girl

KRISTINE
Yea but just a couple of times.

SHEILA
Count me in.

JUDY
Thank God! Anyway, I do remember

GREG
The worst thing in school was every time the teacher called on me
(sings)
I`d be hard, I`d be hard.
(speaks)
Really I`d have to lean up against the desk like this! And the teacher would say: `Stand up straight.` `I can`t. I have a pain in my (beat) side.` `Stand up straight.` Or walking down the halls, You have to walk like this, with all your books stacked up in front of you.

MIKE (speaks)
I thought it was me. I thought I was a sex maniac.

CONNIE, MAGGIE (sing)
You are!

(GREG continues about his discovery that he`s gay and how he thought being gay meant being a bum the rest of his like and not being able to wear his favorite pair of gabardine pants.)
