You broke up? Bull!<br />

Steve just shrugs. The three of them go off into the darkness.<br />

CRUISING MAIN STREET-'32 YELLOW DEUCE COUPE<br />

The coupe makes an eccentric swerve as it cruises along the<br />

main drag. Inside, Carol is looking at the gear-shift knob<br />

that she's taken off the shift arm as they listen to "Do You<br />

Want to Dance?"<br />

CAROL<br />

It doesn't look like a gear shift<br />

knob.<br />

JOHN<br />

Come on, will ya? Give it back to<br />

me.<br />

CAROL<br />

Well, go ahead, cream me. What's<br />

wrong, you're a tough guy. Break my<br />

arm, see if I care.<br />

Forget it.<br />

JOHN<br />

He ignores her, and finally his silence makes her take a<br />

small round knob out of her pocket and put it back on the<br />

shifter where it belongs.<br />

CAROL<br />

I was just going to keep it for a<br />

little while. You're an ogre, just<br />

like my father. He won't let me play<br />

records, or stay out late, or<br />

anything.<br />

JOHN<br />

(worried)<br />

He ah--doesn't like you to stay out<br />

late?<br />

CAROL<br />

No--he's terrible. Once I was at a<br />

party that didn't end till late and<br />

he called the cops. Can you imagine?<br />

It was only a little after midnight<br />

and he had the whole police force--<br />

JOHN<br />

Say, where do you live anyway?<br />

CAROL<br />

Over on Ramona, why?<br />

(She suddenly smiles)<br />

Oh no. Uh uh. You thought I'd tell<br />

you where--not me, not old Carol.<br />

The night is young and I'm not hitting<br />

the rack until I get a little action.
