Freshmen ponder prospect of noncommittal makeout, holidays, one-night stands

Wildcat: I'm Eliza from the Wildcat, and you're on the spot. How you feeling today?

Saucier: Terrible.

Wildcat: Terrible, why?

Saucier: 'Cause it's a terrible day out. And I failed my math test, so ...

Wildcat: That sucks. Are you a big fan of NCMO?

Saucier: (laughing) What the hell is that?

Wildcat: Noncommittal makeout. Basically, you kiss whoever you want to kiss ... no strings attached.

Saucier: Sure, that's fine.

Wildcat: Yeah? Do you do that on a regular basis?

Saucier: Sure ... whatever happens, happens.

Wildcat: Do you forget a lot of times, drinking and stuff?

Saucier: Nah. Actually, when I drink I'm sort of conscious. I know what I'm doing.

Wildcat: So, what do you think of the one-night stand? Going a little too far?

Saucier: Most times, I guess. It'd be weird waking up next to somebody and you don't know who the hell that is.

Wildcat: But maybe on a holiday, like New Year's or something?

Saucier: Yeah, holidays are a little different.

Wildcat: Does April Fools' count in that?

Saucier: Man, I don't know. (Turning to Izzo: on basketball court.) Hey, does April Fools' count for anything? Like a holiday?

Wildcat: Is it OK to have a one-night stand?

Izzo:: Yeah, why wouldn't it be OK?

Wildcat: Like every night?

Izzo:: Not every night, but ...

Saucier: Every other night.

Izzo:: It's OK every once in a while. I mean, shit! We're young; why not have fun?

Wildcat: That makes sense.

Izzo:: I mean, I'd like to get to know a person, but ... I'm a man who doesn't care about sex as much.

Wildcat: But you do like one-night stands?

Izzo:: No, I didn't say I liked them; I'm saying there's nothing wrong with them. ... I've never had one.

Wildcat: But you wouldn't be opposed to it?

Izzo:: No, I wouldn't be opposed to it.
