Terry pulls into the parking lot and stops. He looks up at<br />

the flashing liquor store sign and considers his battle plan.<br />

"Maybe Ba<strong>by</strong>" <strong>by</strong> Buddy Holly is playing on the radio.<br />

DEBBIE<br />

Do you have an ID?<br />

TERRY<br />

No... hey, but no sweat. What'll it<br />

be? Beer, little wine?<br />

DEBBIE<br />

If you could get some Old Harper,<br />

I'd give you a French kiss.<br />

TERRY<br />

Old Harper, rrright! He gives her an<br />

OK sign with his fingers and goes<br />

over to the store. He starts to enter,<br />

Pardon me, sir, but I lost my I.D.<br />

in--in a flood and I'd like to get<br />

some Old Harper, hard stuff. Would<br />

you mind buying a bottle for me?<br />

The bum is still trying to focus on Terry and smiles.<br />

BUM<br />

Why certainly, I lost my wife, too--<br />

her name wasn't Idy, though, and it<br />

wasn't in a flood--but I know what<br />

ya--
