"I, Penny Lane Bloom, do solemnly swear never to date any boy for the rest of my life. Okay, I might change my mind in about ten years, when I no longer live in Parkview, Illinois (USA), or attend McKinley High School, but at the moment, I don't want to hear from the boys. They are liars and swindlers. Scum of the Earth. Yes, from first to last. Evil personified. Some seem nice, sure ; but a fourth get what they're looking for, get rid of you, and move on to the next target. So that's it. No more guys. Full stop. "
