The Attention Stage
According to Scheflen's model of courtship and flirtation, "The goal of the first stage is to get the other person's attention and to present oneself in the best possible light- either strategically or accidentally."(14) This stage is played out directly with Jessie and Buzz. In Toy Story 3, Buzz gets his mode switched to "Spanish mode" and he becomes deeply interested in Jessie. While trying to escape, Buzz gives Jessie a flower and tries to salsa dance with her. This is a way for Buzz to strategically get her attention.
Sexual Scripts
"Sexual scripts most often revolve around the initiation and acceptance or refusal of sexual advances."(15) In Toy Story 3, Jessie uses hinting and indirect strategies to initiate a semi-sexual relationship with Buzz. Jessie finds a boom box, plays Hispanic music, and tells Buzz just to go with the movement of his hips. Jessie does not have to say anything direct that might make her lose face, instead she simply uses the music to get exactly what she wants. Thus, her and Buzz salsa dance the night away.
