Curt nods and stands. The manager swivels around and punches<br />

some buttons, putting on a commercial.<br />

He turns back.<br />

MANAGER<br />

I tell you what. If I can possibly<br />

do it tonight, I'll try to relay<br />

this dedication and get it on the<br />

air for you later on.<br />

CURT<br />

That'd be great. Thanks. Really.<br />

He shakes the manager's hand, then wipes it on his pants.<br />

MANAGER<br />

Sorry, sticky little mothers ain't<br />

they? Bye.<br />

'Bye.<br />

CURT<br />

Curt goes out the door. He starts back out through the maze<br />

of windows and electronic machines. Echoing throughout the<br />

rooms, the Wolfman's raucous voice follows Curt. The Wolfman<br />

howls and Curt turns.<br />

Through the maze of glass, shifting like prisms, he sees the<br />

station manager sitting <strong>by</strong> the mike--howling! Then, he laughs<br />

and howls again, starting to sing a song called "Bluebirds<br />

on My Dingaling," pounding out the rhythm on the console.<br />

Wolfman...<br />

CURT<br />

He backs away, leaving the Wolfman, who's on his feet now,<br />

screaming out the end of the song, dancing <strong>by</strong> himself in the<br />

little glass room, from which his voice radiates out through<br />

the night and around the world...<br />

MEL'S DRIVE-IN<br />

John is working under the hood of the deuce coupe when Falfa's<br />

Chevy drives into the parking lot. The radio is now blasting<br />

"Heart and Soul." Terry moves over toward John's car. John<br />

doesn't look up, although he is quite aware of Falfa's<br />

entrance.<br />

Falfa slows down in front of John's car and revs his engine<br />

again. John looks up--Laurie is in the car with Falfa. She<br />

looks determined not to seem as scared as she really is.<br />

TERRY<br />

Hey, John, let me go with you. Come<br />

on.<br />

JOHN<br />

Naw, man. I can't take you when I'm<br />

racin' somebody.
