MEL'S DRIVE-IN<br />

TERRY<br />

(quietly)<br />

Sure...<br />

The endless chrome-flashing parade continues. Among the lines<br />

of fine cars, Terry is parked in the '58 Chevy next to an<br />

order speaker on a metal pole. Terry leans out the car window<br />

and orders into the intercom.<br />

TERRY<br />

A double Chub<strong>by</strong> Chuck, a Mexicali<br />

Chili Barb, two orders of French<br />

fries--<br />

DEBBIE<br />

And cherry cokes.<br />

The intercom clicks on and a garbled voice squawks back at<br />

him.<br />

INTERCOM<br />

Ark, wark, dork.<br />

TERRY<br />

(pushing the button)<br />

Now wait a minute. What? Huh?<br />

INTERCOM<br />

Ark, wark, dork.<br />

TERRY<br />

Yeah, right. Cool.<br />

As they wait for their order, several guys in various passing<br />

cars yell sleazy greetings to Debbie. Suddenly, a rough-<br />

looking face, belonging to Vic Lozier, pops in her window.<br />

VIC<br />

Hey, Deb. How's my soft ba<strong>by</strong>?<br />

DEBBIE<br />

Beat it, Vic. I'm not your ba<strong>by</strong>.<br />

Terry nervously pretends not to hear.<br />

VIC<br />

Oh, come on, honey. So I never called<br />

you back. I've been, you know, busy...<br />

DEBBIE<br />

Three weeks... besides, it only took<br />

one night for me to realize that if<br />

brains were dynamite, you couldn't<br />

blow your nose.<br />

VIC<br />

Look who's talking. Who's the wimp<br />

you're hanging out with now? Einstein?
