Some More Nichols & May

In our continuing, albeit periodic series on Nichols & May, this may be one of the more famous of Mike Nichols and Elaine May’s most famous early sketches.  And being early, it might not be as well-known as some of the later one's. 

It’s a couple of teenagers parked on a date, as the raging, but nervous hormones of the boy battle with the equally nervous rectitude, but interest of the girl.  It’s worth noting one joke in the piece that Nichols later used when directing The Graduate, when an uncertain Benjamin has his first tryst with Mrs. Robinson, and tries anxiously to figure out when to make his move.  He finally dives in, and you'll see where that joke came from here.
