MEL'S DRIVE-IN is reflected across the windshield.<br />

Wolfman...<br />

Yeah.<br />

VOICE (V.O.)<br />

WOLFMAN<br />

VOICE<br />

Would you dedicate a record to keep<br />

me and my girlfriend together?<br />

WOLFMAN<br />

Are you separated?<br />

VOICE<br />

Well, see, we're havin' a little<br />

problem.<br />

WOLFMAN<br />

I'll bring you right together. Hold<br />

on a minute, man. Hi ya, hi ya, hi,<br />

hi, hi. Everything's gonna be all<br />

right now, man, you understand? Now,<br />

let me play the record for you.<br />

As the Wolfman talks on, Curt glances toward the street. He<br />

sees the white Thunderbird gliding <strong>by</strong>. He sits up quickly<br />

and tries to start the Citroen--but the machine barely turns<br />

over. He keeps trying desperately, but the engine won't catch.<br />

CRUISING G STREET--'58 EDSEL<br />

Laurie drives slowly, alone in the Edsel. On the radio, the<br />

Skyliners are lamenting the sad state of things--"Since I<br />

Don't Have You." Laurie wipes her eyes, crying with the music.<br />

A horn honks. She looks over to see Bob Falfa's car pacing<br />

her. He's alone now and grinning at her. Laurie ignores him.<br />

They drive along further. Falfa roars his engine, but she<br />

still doesn't give him any attention. He gives up and pulls<br />

off.<br />

Laurie thinks a while, pouting. She pulls alongside Falfa at<br />

the next light. He isn't looking at her. She toots her horn<br />

and he turns. Laurie motions him to pull over.<br />

Falfa looks surprised. The light changes, and he follows her<br />

to the curb. Laurie takes a deep breath, and with a determined<br />

look, gets out and walks back to his car. She gets in and<br />

closes the door. They start off. He looks over and smiles.<br />

FALFA<br />

Hey Hey Hey, ba<strong>by</strong>, what do you say?<br />

LAURIE<br />

Just don't say anything and we'll<br />

get along fine.<br />

Falfa is puzzled <strong>by</strong> the frigidity in the air. He glances at<br />

her then back at the road, wondering about this strange chick.
