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'll love and protect this
car until death do us part.
This is a super fine machine.
This might even be
