Yes! Liquor! This place is too crowded<br />

anyway.<br />

Terry backs out and drives off, leaving the approaching car<br />

hop standing in an empty parking space.<br />

CAR HOP<br />

CRUISING MAIN STREET-'57 VOLKSWAGEN<br />

We see the white T-bird ahead for just a moment, before it<br />

accelerates, passes a car and disappears, as we hear<br />

"Peppermint Twist" from the radio.<br />

In the VW, Curt is in the back, shaking the driver's seat,<br />

yelling at Bobbie. Wendy is in front next to Bobbie.<br />

CURT<br />

BOBBIE<br />

CURT<br />

Cut around him, cut around him.<br />

The little VW swerves and cuts around an old dagoed Dodge,<br />

Ahead, we catch a glimpse of the T-bird as it turns a corner.<br />

CURT<br />

There, hang a right--over there!<br />

Bobbie turns, somebody honks, she hits the curb, shifting<br />

madly she mis-clutches; the beetle lugs forward; Curt falls<br />

back in the seat and Wendy looks at him.<br />

CURT<br />

You lost her!<br />

WENDY<br />

gets nose bleeds when she's upset.<br />

BOBBIE<br />

I do not! You shut up!<br />

CURT<br />

Lost her again. Ah, Wendy, my old<br />

lover, come back here and console<br />

me.<br />

WENDY<br />

Eat your heart out. Who was she
