EXT. COURTYARD

Ben ate a strawberry and sighed softly.

"You're different today," Jill noted.

"Really? How so?" Ben asked.

Jill took a deep breath. "You're... dorkier."

"Oh."

"No, no, I like it."

"You know, I haven't been able to take my eyes off you since you joined."

"I don't believe you."

"It's true. You love your garden, you sing to your turnips. You're so good with people. Everybody comes to you for advice, and you give it so freely, and..." She chuckled. "I love the way you tug on your earlobe when you read." He made the motion of doing so.

Jill repeated his motion. "I had to buy a cream for it."

"I know."

The two giggled.

"Can I..." Ben took a deep breath. "Can I smell your hair?"

"Sure."

Ben's breath trembled and he smelled her hair, inhaling deeply.

Jill sighed. "God, you're incredible."

"You... You're incredible too."

The two chuckled.

"Wanna do it?" Jill asked with a sigh.

"Do what?" Ben wondered.

"Have sex. The holy union of our multiple spirits."

Ben spluttered. "Sure, but, uh..."

"But what?"

"Uh, there's something you need to know." He grunted as he hit himself.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah."

"Never been better."

"Good." Jill jumped onto his lap and chuckled.

"Jill, you don't..." He gasped. "You don't know the real me."

"Oh, yeah?"

"Yeah," Ben whispered.

"I know everything about you. I have pored myself over your teachings, I have sung your Vedas, I have committed every part of your body to my memory."

"But, Jill, that's not me. I'm somebody different. I'm... a virgin."

"What about last week?"

"Huh?"

"You, me and Keechie? In the sex swing. We practiced that suspended, extended, four-part unification."

"Klaus, you're so filthy!"

"Yes, you are, Daddy." She started kissing him.

"Oh... Oh, hey... Oh!"

"Mmm... Wait, just..." She moaned.

"Oh! Oh! Oh! Okay!"

"Hey, Daddy," Diego called as he appeared. "You got a sec?"

"Diego!" Ben exclaimed.

"Come on, we gotta go."

Ben looked at Jill. "Yeah. I'll be right back."

"Okay," Jill said.

Ben began standing. "I promise."

"Come on," Diego told him.
