Hey, Curt, you guys gonna have
a little bash your last night in town?
Moose has been
lookin' for you all day.
He got worried. Thought you were
tryin' to avoid him.
What do you got?
- Oh, great.
- That's $2,000, man. $2,000!
Mr. Jennings gave it to me
to give to you. He's sorry it's late.
It's the first scholarship
the Moose Lodge has given out.
He says they're all very proud of you
back at the lodge.
- Why don't you hold it for me?
- I don't want it. Take it. It's yours.
I'll take it.
Listen, your sister calls.
I'll talk to you later.
- Wait a second. She can wait.
- Make it short and sweet, huh?
Listen, I don't think
I'm gonna be going tomorrow.
Come on.
What are you talking about?
I was thinkin' I could wait a year,
go to City for a while.
You chicken fink.
After all we went through
to get accepted?
We're gettin' out of
this turkey town...
and now you wanna crawl
back into your cell?
You wanna end up like John?
You just can't stay 17 forever.
- Get that through your head!
- I just need some time.
I gotta go talk to Laurie.
Now take it. Take it!
We're leaving in the morning,
all right?
We're leaving
in the morning!
We gonna rock and roll ourselves
to death, baby!
You got the Wolfman Jack Show!
Don't with the thing!
Will you stop it
with the Big Bopper stuff?
- Hi, John!
- Not too good, huh?
Why is it every girl around here
is ugly or has a boyfriend?
Where is the dazzling beauty
I've been searching for all my life?
I know what you mean.
The pickings are really gettin' slim.
The whole strip is shrinkin'.
You know, I remember
about five years ago...
it would take a couple of hours
and a tank full of gas...
just to make one circuit.
It was really somethin'.
Hey, John.
Someone new in town.
Are you gonna go after him?
Hey, listen, professor.
If he can't find me, then he ain't
even worth racin', right?
Big shot.
Well?
Where was I?
How you thought
high school romances were goofy...
and we started dating only because
you thought I was cute and funny...
but then you suddenly realized...
you were in love with me,
it was serious...
You were leadin' up
to somethin' kinda big.
You make it sound like
I'm giving dictation.
Well, seriously...
what I meant was that...
since we do care for each other
so much...
and since we should really consider
ourselves as adults now...
Could I have a couple
of those fries?
Where was I?
- Consider ourselves adults.
- Right, right.
I thought,
maybe before I leave...
we could agree that...
seeing other people while I'm away
can't possibly hurt, you know?
- You mean dating other people?
- It would strengthen our relationship.
Then we'd know for sure
that we're really in love.
Not that there's any doubt.
I think you're right.
I mean, we're not kids anymore...
and it's silly to think
that when we're 3,000 miles apart...
we shouldn't be able
to see other people and go out.
Laurie, listen.
I didn't ask for that back.
I know. I just sort of think
it's juvenile now.
I'll keep it at home.
It's less conspicuous there.
- You don't wanna wear it?
- I didn't say that.
I understand,
and I'm not upset.
I can't expect you to be a monk
while you're away.
I got a really neat
record collection.
I even got "Pledging My Love"
by Johnny Ace.
How can you love Nelson when
he's going out with Marilyn Gator?
- Since he dumped on you...
- He didn't dump on me, you little dip!
Oh, hi, Steve.
Hey, sis.
- What's wrong?
- Nothing.
- What is it?
- Nothing!
I've decided to let you take care
of my car while I'm away.
At least until Christmas.
I'm comin' back for a couple
of weeks at Christmas.
I've got some very simple instructions
for you. Here's the keys.
First of all,
only 30-weight Castrol-R.
I've written the tire pressure
and stuff on a pad in the glove...
- Are you listening?
- Hey, what's wrong?
- Are you crying?
- I can't believe it!
I don't know what to say!
I
