I'll give you $525 for her on a<br />
practically new Corvette... and on<br />
top of this, I'm going to know 10%<br />
off the low price of this beautiful<br />
Vette. I'm talking about only $98<br />
down and $98 a month. Now, how am I<br />
able to make you this incredible<br />
offer? I'll tell you! I'm forced to<br />
move all the sporty cars off the lot<br />
as quickly as I can. Boss's orders.<br />
He doesn't want 'em. I think it's a<br />
mistake, but what can I do?<br />
Terry begins to get worried as the salesman begins to fondle<br />
his new Chevy. He becomes frightened as the salesman attempts<br />
to drag him over to one of the 'Vettes. Finally Terry breaks<br />
away and jumps back into his car and the salesman continues<br />
to rave on as Terry drives away.<br />
HIGH SCHOOL GYM--"AT THE HOP"<br />
Herbie and the Heartbeats, wearing their matching red blazers,<br />
rock into a raunchy rendition of their masterpiece--<br />
HERBIE AND THE HEARTBEATS<br />
One, two, three, four-- one, two<br />
three, four-- BAH... BAH... BAH...<br />
BAH... BAH... BAH... BAH... BAH...<br />
BAH... BAH... BAH... BAH... BAH...<br />
BAH... BAH... BAH... At the hop!!<br />
Pulling back from the bandstand, we see the Dewey High School<br />
gym--the basketball nets swung back and draped with crepe,<br />
the lights half-low, the noise high, and the waxed floor<br />
being polished and pounded <strong>by</strong> stockinged feet as a seething<br />
mob of adolescents join in that ancient rite--The Hop.<br />
A hundred of them are dancing and swaying while the band<br />
gyrates on a raised platform. Kids on wooden bleachers watch<br />
the whirling and spinning mass of ponytails and ducktails,<br />
button-down shirts and mid calf skirts, cardigan sweaters<br />
with little belts in the back.<br />
THE GIRLS' LAVATORY<br />
Laurie stands in front of a mirror in a line of other girls.<br />
She brushes her hair, staring rather despondently at herself<br />
in the mirror. The girl next to her is Peg Fuller, a cute<br />
cheerleader.<br />
PEG<br />
Hey, why are you so depressed? You'll<br />
forget him in a week. Listen, after<br />
you're elected senior queen you'll<br />
have so many boys after your bod--<br />
LAURIE<br />
I don't want to go out with anybody<br />
else.<br />
