They won't flash the camera for beads or pocket lint, but they would part with clothing for a million dollars

Wildcat: Hi, I'm Claire from the Daily Wildcat and you're on the spot.

White: Oh no, not me! Do it on him!

Wildcat: Aww, are you trying to get your friend in trouble?

White: (laughing) No! I do not wanna be in the Wildcat. You're gonna put my picture in the Wildcat? Can my friend be in it, too?

Wildcat: Well, I guess so.

White: I'll do it, I'm not scared. I'm ready for my 15 minutes ... well, more like one minute of fame.

Wildcat: So what're you guys doing for spring break?

White: I'm staying in town 'cause I live here.

White: I'm going to Phoenix.

Wildcat: Wow ... well, at least Phoenix beats Tucson by quite a bit. There's more to do than ... the nothing that there is here. What're you gonna do in Phoenix?

White: Nothing. Just going home and being with my family.

Wildcat: Well, I'm going to Mexico for 10 days, and I just got back from the tanning salon to prepare for it. Based on what my friends are telling me about my results, my new nickname is "candy-stripe butt," and that won't make for very good exposure on the beach. So what do you think about the "Girls Gone Wild" thing? Would you flash for the camera?

White: Man, what are beads gonna get me?

White: I wouldn't do it. Not for nothing!

Wildcat: Not even for a million dollars?

White: A million dollars? Now that's a different story. ... I need the money.

White: If you give it to me beforehand, I sure will.

Wildcat: Whoa, I don't have a million to give you! It looks like you were getting ready to take your backpack off to claim your fortune. The Wildcat is a poor publication, but I may be able to offer you some pocket lint.

White: (laughing) No! I swear I wasn't gonna!

White: No, I won't do it for no lint. That million dollars was sounding pretty nice, though.
