Her tone changes immediately. Terry looks sour and turns around to Steve who's getting out of the chevy. Budda leaves, wiggling her butt for Steve. TERRY She's a little conceited--just playing hard to get. STEVE Listen, I came over here to talk to you about-- TERRY Any time, buddy. I'm your man. Nothing I like better than chewing the rug with a pal. You talk, I'll listen. I'm all ears. Shoot. Shut up. Sure. STEVE TERRY STEVE Terry, I'm going to let you take care of my car while we're away--at least until Christmas. I'm afraid if I leave it with my-- Steve notices Terry isn't with him any more and turns. Terry is standing frozen to a spot. STEVE What's wrong? Terry tries to talk, much like a shell-shocked war veteran. His mouth moves but only a gurgle comes out. Curt is standing by the Chevy, talking with his sister Laurie. She's still upset by what Steve said to her. CURT Hey, sis--what's wrong? Nothing. LAURIE Meanwhile, they watch Terry as Steve explains to him about the car. STEVE Now listen, only 30 weight Castrol- R. I've written the tire pressure and stuff on a pad in the glove compartment. Are you listening? The others are watching now as Terry shakes his head mechanically. CURT
What's wrong, he's crying! There is indeed a tear rolling down Terry's cheek. TERRY I can't... believe... it. (He starts toward the car and gently caresses its paint.) I don't know what to say. I'll... love and protect this car until death do us part. (He circles the car.) This is a superfine machine. This may even be better than Daryl Starbird's superfleck moonbird. It is better than Daryl Starbird's. Laurie watches Terry, realizing that like the car, she'll be left behind as a fond memory. She turns and looks at Steve, who's been watching her. There's a moment between them... Budda comes by with an empty tray. Terry sees her and wipes his eyes. He walks up to her, a strange look on his face. TERRY Budda, how would you like to go to the drive-in movies with me? The idea is so preposterous that even Budda is speechless. She looks around at others. BUDDA You've got to be kidding! TERRY Would I kid you about a thing like that? I want you to know that something has happened to me tonight that is going to change everything. I've got a new... John walks up quietly and casually pulls down hard on the back pockets of Terry's low riding levis. There is general hysteria as Terry quickly pulls up his pants. TERRY Car!! All right, who's the wise-- (He turns and sees John and changes his tune.) Oh, John--verrry funny. (He tries to laugh with the others.) JOHN Hey, did she do that to you? STEVE Let's get going. It seems like we've spent most of our lives in this parking lot.
