Sex & Nudity
-

- A man believes that Macarthy sees his daughter as "an easy lay". She appears to expect something romantic at the drive-in movie but is disappointed. She watches the "sex bit" of the movie but seems unimpressed. She suggests that other patrons should watch the real thing, meaning her.
