SCENE: Man in a suit with a curvy woman in a low-cut cocktail dress and long, opera gloves. The man has one hand on her shoulder and is holding one of the woman's hands with his other hand. He's smiling and she looks---bored? Resentful? Miffed? Trapped? Some combo of all these things?
MAN: I don’t know what I’m talking about, but...I’ll bet I’m right!
WOMAN (thinking): So handsome, so strong...so stupid!

She is so happy? for him.
Is the red head the star quarterback or something. He can just paw over the guy’s daughter with Dad right there
Tom, here’s the plot as summarized and ComicBookPlus.com:
Dale, daughter of a college football coach, dates her father’s new assistant Stan. They fall in love, but Dale fears Stan wants to take her father’s job. However, her father is merely being promoted to head of the athletics department, and Dale and Stan reconcile.
Apparently Dad doesn’t mind guys staring right down his daughter’s dress?
I don’t think that’s the conclusion we’re suppose to reach, but it sure appears that her date is looking there!
He saw this one shopping for a ring; that grants a stay of execution for a few weeks…
I she removing his hand from somewhere or helping to place it where he wants to go?
I guess it could be either. And since these are fictional characters, it can be whatever you want!
… or helping to place it where SHE wants it to go.
