"AMERICAN GRAFFITI" Screenplay by George Lucas Gloria Katz ...

THE CANAL BANK
HANK
Some day he'll make a fine Moose.
Steve's Chevy sits near the canal. The door is open and the
radio blares, while Terry and Debbie are off somewhere in
the weeds making out.
Suddenly, a beam from a flashlight plays across the trunk.
Feet approach the car as the light beam moves across the
interior and stops on the vacated shoes on the front seat.
The light beam continues past the empty bourbon bottle and
starts int he direction of the field where Terry and Debbie
are lost in the throes of passionate love. As we follow the
light into the field we hear footsteps.
As the darkened figure approaches the couple, we see the
light go out and catch a gleam of silver in the moonlight as
a switchblade springs open!
Terry reacts to the sound.
DEBBIE
What's wrong?
TERRY
I thought I heard something.
She kisses him and he forgets about the noise. The figure
retreats back to the Chevy, where another indistinct figure
waits.
VOICE (O.S.)
They're porking in the weeds. No
sweat.
Terry and Debbie are resting in the field, listening to the
radio in the distance. A car engine is heard starting up and
disappearing down the canal bank.
The countryside is very quiet. Only crickets and frogs are
heard as Terry begins to drop off asleep. He suddenly jumps
with a start.
TERRY
Wait a minute!
What?
DEBBIE
TERRY
The radio is gone... That means--the
car is gone!
He scrambles to the spot where the Chevy once stood.
TERRY
Oh no!!! OH NO!!!
