YouTube used to have a video showing eleven scenes that were deleted from the final movie. This voting scene (lasting 54 seconds) was the fourth scene in that video. This scene was the movie's opening scene.

(If someone is able to put that video back onto YouTube, please inform me at MikeSylwester@gmail.com.)

The conversation between Lisa and Baby indicates that Lisa is "Mommy's girl" and Baby is "Daddy's girl". Lisa and Mommy are interested in shopping. Baby and Daddy are interested in current events. Lisa is eager to have sex.

Marjorie is encouraging Lisa to have a summer romance with a good prospect for marriage.

The song on the radio is "Not Too Young to Get Married" by the Dixie Cups. YouTube has that song, performed in 1963 by Bob B. Soxx and The Blue Jeans. YouTube does not have that song by the Dixie Cups.
