Police! You creeps!<br />

John jumps out of the coupe and runs into the parking lot.<br />

He grabs one of the punks and turns him--smashing him in the<br />

face. The punk lands on his ass. John starts circling the<br />

other.<br />

Go, John!<br />

Hit him!<br />

TERRY<br />

DEBBIE<br />

A good fighter, John lands a couple of blows to the gut and<br />

lands him on his can. Both of them crawl off. Terry is lying<br />

near<strong>by</strong>, drunk, sick and bloodied. Debbie holds his head in<br />

her lap. John goes over and kneels <strong>by</strong> them.<br />

JOHN<br />

Hey, man, you all right?<br />

TERRY<br />

Yeah. I'll die soon and it'll all be<br />

over.<br />

DEBBIE<br />

(looking at John)<br />

Wow--you're just like the Lone Ranger.<br />

JOHN<br />

(eyeing Debbie)<br />

Yeah. Listen, are you with the Toad,<br />

or were you with them?<br />

Terry manages to raise his head.<br />

TERRY<br />

You're talking to the woman I love...<br />

His head falls back again.<br />

JOHN<br />

What happened, man?<br />

Terry opens his mouth to start to explain, but it's too hard.<br />

He can only moan.<br />

MEL'S DRIVE-IN<br />

The drive-in is emptying out finally as the midnight hour<br />

approaches and passes. The die-hards and the hard-ups are<br />

still wheeling through Mel's looking for remains of any<br />

action.<br />

Steve sits inside in a booth. Two gossipy looking girls come<br />

in smiling and slide into the booth across from him.<br />

STEVE<br />

Hi, Karen, Judy.
