"You know, Rich, I don't even think I mind."

"You don't? But gosh, L.B., isn't that a real damper on your own dating? I mean, who'd wanna make out with a married woman?"

Whatever important irony had muddled itself up in Richie's words, Lori Beth just smiled ruefully and discarded it.

"What kind of self-respecting lesbian isn't too afraid to come out in 1960? I don't really think it matters."

"Huh." Richie stuck his gangling wrists back in his pockets and thought about it some more.

"Your parents'll know you're doing it for Fonzie."

"You think?"

"Rich...everybody does."
