Oliver next invites Jenny to come to watch his hockey game. They spend the time insulting each other, yet also flirting. He invites the girl, Jennifer Cavilleri, the daughter of a working-class Rhode Island family, out for coffee under the pretense of being able to study the book he needs. He approaches the clerk on duty for help finding a book, but she simply insults him, calling him a "preppie." He returns the insult, calling her a "cliffie," despite the fact that he is attracted to her beautiful brown eyes and long legs. He is studying in the library at the school's Radcliffe campus because it is quieter and, perhaps most importantly, has more girls there. Now, in his senior year at Harvard, he is heir to his family's fortune and will soon be heading off to Harvard Law School. The movie adaptation, released in December 1970, is still one of the highest grossing films of all time.

Set in contemporary Northeast America, Love Story (1970), a romance novel by Erich Segal, follows the trials and tribulations of a young couple's ill-fated relationship.
