"AMERICAN GRAFFITI" Screenplay by George Lucas Gloria Katz ...

LAURIE
'Bye 'bye, Curt.
Curt goes to Terry and John.
CURT
So long, guys.
TERRY
Well, stay cool, man.
Yeah.
CURT
TERRY
Ah--don't do anything I wouldn't do.
Curt smiles at Terry, who has a bandage on his forehead.
Curt looks at John and they don't seem to know what to say.
Finally, John gives Curt a little slap on the cheek.
CURT
I'll see ya, buddy.
JOHN
I know, you probably think you're a
big shot, goin' off like this--but
you're still a punk.
CURT
Okay, John. So long.
He walks toward the plane and they all wave. He looks around
as he goes up the steps carrying a small bag and a portable
radio. The stewardess smiles as he passes her. Above the
door of the plane it reads RADAR EQUIPPED. Curt looks back
again, then goes inside. The plane takes off down the runway
and then climbs up into the sky.
INSIDE THE PLANE
Curt listens to the radio as the plane takes off. It's playing
"Goodnight Sweetheart." As the plane climbs and banks over
the valley, the music fades and the station drifts between
static and other stations...and then it's gone. Curt turns
off the radio and looks out the window.
As the plane banks, through the window Curt sees the white
Thunderbird crossing beneath on the small grey ribbon of
highway. Curt watches it. Then the plane's shadow ripples
over the car and it, too, is gone.
THE BLUE SKY
As the plane flies off against the blue sky we see cameos of
Curt and his friends:
John Milner was killed by a drunk driver in December 1964.
Terry Fields was reported missing in action near An Loc in
December 1965.
Steve Bolander is an insurance agent in Modesto, California.
