JOHN<br />

Yeah. All right, thanks.<br />

John nods and the two cars pull apart down the street.<br />

TRAVELING G STREET-STEVE'S WHITE '58 CHEVY<br />

The Rock and Roll blares as Terry the Toad cruises along the<br />

main drag, singing along with the music. Sitting low in his<br />

seat, he looks around, his face aglow, experiencing a new<br />

world from the inside of a really fine car. This is the<br />

greatest thing that has happened to Terry in seventeen long<br />

years of being a short loser.<br />

Terry turns a corner and another car pulls alongside. A guy<br />

looks out the window.<br />

Hey, Toad.<br />

GUY<br />

Terry looks over and smiles coolly, proud of his new wheels.<br />

GUY<br />

(leaning out the window)<br />

Is that you in that beautiful car?<br />

(Terry nods modestly)<br />

Geez, what a waste of machinery.<br />

Terry's smile changes to a scowl as the car pulls away from<br />

him.. Terry accounts the slight to jealousy. Then he forgets<br />

it and enjoys driving the beautiful Chevy again. Another car<br />

pulls alongside of him as he cruises along slowly.<br />

Hey, kid.<br />

GIRL<br />

Terry looks over at the car cruising next to him. In the<br />

back seat, a guy has dropped his trousers and is pushing his<br />

bare buttocks against the side window--a classic BA complete<br />

with pressed ham. Terry looks away, wondering why this is<br />

still happening to him, even in his new car.<br />

TRAVELING G STREET-LAURIE'S '58 EDSEL<br />

Curt is in the back seat gazing out the window at the dark<br />

main street of the small farm community. Steve and Laurie<br />

are talking quietly in the front seat. Laurie is sitting<br />

near the window and it sounds like Steve is convincing her<br />

to move over. Laurie finally does. His arm goes around her<br />

and her head rests on his shoulder.<br />

Curt is laughing as the Wolfman harasses someone on the radio.<br />

The Wolfman is placing a call.<br />

WOLFMAN (V.O.)<br />

Here we go with another call out of<br />

the station. Can you dig it? Answer<br />

the phone, dummy.<br />

MAN (V.O.)<br />
