Corvette Summer

There's a Mustang '66.

We could turn that into a '65 with no trouble.

There's a Volkswagen.

Hey.

Hey, let's do a dune buggy!

Hey, no foreign cars, huh, man?

There's a Chrysler Imperial.

Look at the fins.

You like it?

I love it.

Yeah.

No way.

O.K., keep your eyes peeled for a Packard.

You guys want to do a Camaro?

Whoa.

Now don't get me wrong.

I got nothing against Ford products.

Kuchinsky, climb under there and tell me

if that cross member's straight.

Come on. Cut that out.

Yeah, it's straight,

but there's no springs.

No! No! Wait!

Dantley, where you going? Come on back here!

See what this is?

It's a Corvette! A Stingray!

Hey, stop this machine!

This is it!

We found our car!

Can you believe your eyes?

It's a Corvette!

Hey!

Hey, mister!

Please stop it!

Stop it!

Stop the crane, for Christ's sake, will ya?

Wait!

Hey!

Hey, hold it!

Hold it!

Hey, stop the machine!

Hey, somebody...

Easy...

Easy. Keep it coming.

Keep it coming...

Whoa! Hold it.

Kenny?

Hi, Mom.

What happened?

Did you forget your key?

Yeah.

Don't you remember?

There's one in the mailbox.

Uh-oh.

I guess I took it.

I left my key ring at the lounge.

It's late, isn't it? What time is it?

Late.

Who you out with tonight?

Oh...

That's Mr. Borodino.

He's in real estate.

Why?

I don't know.

Thought I heard a water pump going in that car of his.

He ought to look at that.

Got the key?

Have fun tonight?

Did you have a date?

Not really.

Say...

Aren't you going to give me a kiss, huh?

Come on.

Give your old mother a kiss.

I haven't seen you all day.

Hi, Bernie.

Naw, it's not late.

Come on over.

Dave? It's Ed McGrath.

Yes, I am passing the hat again,

only this time, I was wondering

if you folks could see your way clear to contributing a set of BF GTAs.

Yeah, I know, I know, but it's for a good cause...

I'm pleased to see that my efforts this past quarter

haven't entirely been in vain.

Most of you will find yourselves on the plus side

of the bell curve at midterm--

Stephanie--

with notable exceptions.

Uh, glad to have you join us today, Dantley.

Sally...

Steve...

Ricci, don't try to be heroic.

Watch that pin there.

I got it. I got it.

Far out!

Oh, wow!

Who's in here?

Dantley.

I didn't think I'd see you tonight.

Hey, Mr. McGrath.

You a dance monitor?

You look like something off

the Lawrence Welk show.

Knock it off, Ken. I'm enjoying myself.

What are you doing in here, anyway?

I don't know.

I was thinking,

maybe we should've lowered that spoiler,

maybe even gone for a wing or a fastback.

What are you giving me? It's perfect.

Be proud of it.

Yeah, you're right.

It is perfect.

Listen, Dantley...

Don't you go bad on me.

I don't want to read in the paper

you're sticking up filling stations

to support your car habit.

You're a good kid,

talented kid...

But I wish you'd done better in your classes.

What's the difference?

I'm out, aren't I?

O.K., comedian.

You joke about it.

But I had high hopes.

Better attitude, better grades...

Couple of years in junior college,

I'd have seen one of my boys in the art center.

Come on. Don't you get on me.

I had a good year.

Here.

To General Motors.

Wine?

Scotch.

Listen, Dantley--

Kenny--

I've been around automobiles all my life.

They're mechanical devices. They always let you down.

You buy them, you drive them, you break them, you fix them...

You sell them.

Goods in the marketplace. Easy come, easy go.

Don't get too attached to this car.

You don't fool me, Mr. McGrath.

You might have seen a lot of cars...

But you love this one just as much as I do.

O.K., everybody, next stop-- Van Nuys Boulevard.

Hey!

Breaker, breaker, shop craft 1,

honk if you love Corvettes.

This is the top happenin' dragon wagon.

Hiya, folks.

Dig it, boys and girls.

They cannot believe this right-hand drive.

And my, my. What do we have here?

This is a field trip, Dantley, not a racetrack.

Get back here and give someone else a turn.

I'm warning you, Dantley.

Come on, step on it!

Go for it! Come on!

What do they see?

Hold it up.

Come on, we gonna let this little creep wreck it?

Yeah, why should you drive it, jerk?
