    Bobby gets his first kiss on the lips. hide show

    The episode wasn't my favorite, really. I didn't like the Millicent character and I had no clue why Bobby liked her. Millicent, the geek, the ugly, the weird looking, whatever you want to call her. And what really stirred me up was the fact that Bobby liked the kiss and was so desperate to kiss the nerd again. That was disgusting and the wrong choice. Also the thing about getting the measles was so obvious that he wouldn't get them. And, how many times did Bobby and Millicent kiss? Two or three times? I can't remember, but it was a disgrace that Bobby would rather kiss a geek than shoot some hoops. Ugh!

    Marcia: Yeah?
    Cindy: There is no secret.
    Peter and Jan: No secret?!?
    Marcia: What are you talking about?
    Greg: Wait a minute. If there's no secret, then what's all this "I've got a secret, I've got a secret" jazz for?
    Cindy: Well, if I didn't say that, would I be getting all this attention? []
  • Bobby: You were spying!
    Cindy: I was not. I just happened to be looking where I wasn't supposed to. []
  • Marcia: Of all the things I don't need right now, it's the mumps.
