Christine (1983)

Now, on the day I was born
The nurses all gathered round
And they gazed in wild wonder
At the joy they had found
The head nurse spoke up
Said leave this one alone
She could tell right away
That I was bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
B- B-B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the bone
I broke 1,000 hearts
Before I met you
lll break 1,000 more, baby
Before I am through
I want to be yours, pretty baby
Yours, and yours alone
lm here to tell you, honey
That lm bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
B- B-B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the bone
lm a-gonna tell you
how its gonna be
You gonna give
your love to me
My love is bigger
than the Cadillac
After I show you lll be back
Your love for me
has got to be real
Holy shit!
Come on, Arnie.
Hes coming.
Hes changing his shirt.
Thats noise pollution,
what youre doing.
You might as well be dumping
toxic waste on our lawn.
Hey, Dennis.
Lll be right there.
Just leave it.
Its okay.
Go on. Its okay.
Arnie, your lunch!
Try and keep it cold.
Theres yogurt in there.
Right.
Slow down!
Are you guys having a war?
Shes pissed off
cause lm taking shop. My dad too.
It wont embarrass them when you
fix their stupid Volvo for free.
- What?
- Last night, were playing Scrabble.
Its neck-and-neck between me and her.
We blew my dad away early.
So, at the end, I had this choice
of ratio for five lousy points...
- or...
- Or what, Arnie?
tellatio for 24 points
and the game.
- Whatd she do?
- She won by seven points...
because obscenitys not allowed
in Scrabble.
- And its in the dictionary!
- You jerk, Arnie. Jesus.
You know, Arnie,
I was thinking...
Uh-oh.
No, seriously.
Now that were gonna be seniors,
I figure its about time...
that we got you laid.
- You know, like this year, huh?
- You need a girl to get laid.
- What about Gail Justin?
- I dont like her moustache.
Fuck you! What do you care?
If you get a little hair in your mouth?
Okay. How about Sally Hayes?
Shes cute.
- Shes a sophomore!
- So what? Shes a walking sperm bank.
I know. Come on.
I dont have the minimum deposit
to open an account.
Are you kidding? You carry
your life savings between your legs.
Come on, Arnie.
I think maybe
lll just beat off.
Are you playing
football this year or what?
Somebodys got to pick it up
when you fumble.
- Hey, Terry.
- Hows your gimpy knee?
Its better.
Coach wants me to practice.
Yeah? Its about time. Lve been eatin
dirt with your name on it for weeks.
Hi, Dennis.
Oh, hey, Roseanne.
How you doing?
Lm okay. They gonna
let you play football?
Yeah.
Doc says lm as good as new.
Then I guess
lll be seeing you out there.
I hope so.
Well, T.T.F.N.
Yeah. Ta-ta for now.
I wouldnt put that in my mouth.
- You dont know where its been.
- Get outta here.
But we know where it hasnt been.
With you.
- Having trouble with your locker?
- No.
- Did you see the new girl?
- I just got here!
- Lm in love, and lm fussy.
- I never noticed you were fussy.
Drop dead, Cunningham.
- Whats her name?
- I dont know. Shes in the office.
She looks smart,
but shes got a sluts body.
Oh, shit. Here she comes.
I think youll like it here, Leigh.
Give me something
for my lap.
We have a good band. Went to the Rose
Parade. Not a bad way to meet boys.
I would like to get involved
with the yearbook.
We have a terrific yearbook staff.
Won a prize last year.
So, what about admitting
Red China into the U. N.?
- I think we already did that.
- Yeah, but...
do you think it was a good idea?
She smiled at me.
I want to have deep,
meaningful sex with her.
- Go get her, Bemis.
- Think I should?
Youve got nothing
to lose but your virginity.
Dennis, can you give me a hand?
- I cant...
- Yeah.
- He doesnt have a chance.
- I dont think so either.
Shes much too classy for him.
- There you go.
- What did you do?
Lucky. See you at lunch.
Hey, Charley.
Have you seen Arnie?
- Yeah. Hes still in the shop.
- Whats the matter?
Buddy Repperton has his lunch.
- Buddy Repperton.
- Hi, Dennis...
Come on, pizza face.
You want it?
Come get it!
If its yours,
why isnt your name on here anywhere?
Arnie Cuntingham.
Why doesnt it say Cuntingham?
Just take it, and lets go eat.
Thats all you got to do.
Come on.
Thats funny, Buddy,
real funny.
Go get Mr. Casey.
Come on.
You want to go for it?
Put the knife down.
- Put down the knife.
- You want to make me?
Youve got a knife and he doesnt.
That makes you a chicken shit.
- Yeah. Thats chicken shit.
- Yeah?
- Put it down.
- Yeah, put down the knife.
Put down the knife, okay?
Get him, man!
How do you like that, dickface?
All right, break it up!
Right now.
You kids take a walk.
Get lost.
Not you, Moochie.
- I aint been doing nothing.
- You all right, Dennis?
Yeah, lm okay.
Real cute.
Three on one.
They started it.
- Thats not true.
- Shut up, cuntface!
Shut your mouth!
I dont have to listen
to garbage like that, Buddy!
What were you saying?
Reppertons got a knife.
You fucking liar!
Its a switchblade.
Thats bullshit, Mr. Casey.
Hes lying. I swear to God.
Did Repperton here
pull a knife on you?
Yeah.
Empty your pockets, Buddy.
Fuck I will.
You cant make me.
If you mean I dont have the authority,
youre wrong.
Try it, you bald fuck, and lll
knock you through the wall! Fuck!
You two boys go up to the office.
Stay there.
Dont go anywhere.
Youve got enough trouble.
Now...
if you dont empty your pockets
right now, lm gonna call the cops.
Go to the office, Buddy.
Lll fix you!
Youre gonna wish you were
never fucking born!
So, all in all,
it wasnt a bad first day.
Think Repperton
will try to get even?
No, hes a douche bag.
Hell find somebody
else to pick on.
- They kicked him out, you know.
- Good.
They kick Moochie out?
Probation.
Those assholes.
Stop the car! Quick!
Go back!
- Whats the matter?
- I want to look at her!
- All right, Arnie.
- Just go back. All right?
Jesus Christ.
What is it?
Do you know someone who lives here?
What?
Jesus.
Be careful, Dennis.
- This is a piece of shit.
- She could be fixed up.
- Yeah.
- Oh, she could be really tough.
Forget it. This babys got
Probably 193.
I dont care.
- I bet it wont even start.
- Shell start.
You need these.
How much do you want for her?
- Whatever it is, its not enough.
- Jesus, Arnie.
Sonny, you ever owned a car before?
- Yeah, he owns a Mustang...
- No. I just got my license.
Names George LeBay.
Arnie Cunningham.
What are you asking?
Start her up.
Really?
Her names Christine.
I like that.
Come on. We gotta get going.
My asshole brother
bought her in September, 57.
You got your new model year
in September.
Brand-new, she was.
She had the smell
of a brand-new car.
About the finest smell in the world,
except maybe for pussy.
When he got her,
she had six miles on the odometer.
Goddamn Roland went through hell
and back with Christine.
If your brother loves this car so much,
why is he selling it?
Cause hes stone cold dead.
Died six weeks ago.
So, Mr. LeBay...
how much do you want for her?
Lve been asking 300.
Lll make it 250 for you.
The moneys not important,
and therell be no bringing her back...
cause lm selling this shit hole
and buying me a condo.
You got a deal.
Lll get the pink slip.
Will you stop and think about this
for a moment?
- Where are you getting the money?
- Lve been saving all summer.
- For college.
- You already have a car.
Hes screwing you.
You could get a decent car
for that much money.
Christine is decent.
The guys weird, Arnie.
Hes fucking weird.
- So that was 300?
- Yeah, thats it.
- You said 250.
- 250 would do it.
It this is a good idea,
lets just come back tomorrow.
Do you realize
shes 20 years old?
I mean, that makes her
officially an antique.
Great. Darnells junkyard
is full of official antiques.
Lm buying her.
I dont care what you say.
Its your funeral, man.
Would you give
Arnie a break?
He doesnt know what hes doing.
You dont know half as much
as you think you do...
shitter.
You did what?
- Shes outside.
- Youre kidding, right?
You cant buy a car.
What are you talking about?
- Youre 17 years old.
- Oh, boy.
Actually, youre wrong.
I couldnt finance it,
but buying it for cash is no problem.
Registering a car at 17
is something else...
and for that
I need your permission.
You know how we do things.
You couldve consulted with us.
Lve consulted with you
about every damn thing lve ever done.
If its something I want,
I get outvoted, two to one!
This is no committee meeting.
I bought the car, and thats it!
It most certainly
is not it!
How could you have
let him do this?
I didnt let him.
He wanted the car, and he bought it.
I tried to talk him out of it.
I doubt you tried very hard.
- Yeah, well, lm going home.
- I think you should.
Thats it. Lm getting
the fuck out of here.
- What kind of lang...
- What did you say!
You wanted me in college courses.
Lm there.
You wanted chess club instead of band.
Lm there too.
Lve managed 17 years without
embarrassing you or landing in jail.
Lm gonna have this one thing!
You are not keeping
any car at this house.
Fine!
Thanks for the milk.
- Whats the problem?
- Could you honk your horn for me?
Christines doesnt
seem to work.
- Ah. Sure.
- Thanks.
Stall 20.
Get it over there
and shut it off...
before we all
choke to death.
Kiddo, if you sold him that piece of
shit, you ought to be fuckin ashamed.
I didnt sell it to him.
I tried to talk him out of it.
You should have tried harder.
I knew a guy who had
a car like that once.
Fuckin bastard
killed himself in it.
Son of a bitch was so mean...
if you poured boiling water
down his throat...
he would have pissed ice cubes.
Okay.
Thats the last time...
you run that mechanical asshole
in here without an exhaust hose.
I catch you doin it one time,
and youre out. You understand?
- Huh?
- Yes.
Lm gonna tell you
something else right now.
I dont take any shit
from you kids.
This place is for working stiffs,
gotta keep their cars runnin.
Its not for rich-assed, snot-nosed kids
draggin on the Orange Belt.
I dont allow no smoking in here
neither. You go out in the junkyard.
- I dont smoke.
- Dont interrupt me, punk.
Dont interrupt me.
Dont get smart.
- Ah, sir?
- What?
Those men over there are smoking.
Better tell them to stop.
You trying to help your buddy
right out of here, Chuck?
Then shut your pie hole.
I know a creep when I see one.
I think lm looking
at one right now.
Youre on probation.
You get it?
You screw around with me...
I dont care how much money
you paid up in front...
lll throw you out
on your ass! You got it?
- Huh?
- Yes, sir.
Good.
Now get the hell out of here.
Were closed.
You gonna be okay?
Yeah. Lm okay.
You know, you better find yourself some
other charity besides me and Christine.
What is it about that car?
I dont know.
Maybe its just that for the first time
lve found something uglier than me.
And I know I can fix her up.
Youre not ugly, Arnie.
I know what I am.
Queer, maybe, but not ugly.
Fuck you.
Oh, bug out, Dennis.
You dont need this shit.
Where have you been?
You had us worried sick!
You dont just up and drive off
whenever you...
As I walk along I wonder
What went wrong with our love
A love that was so strong
Hes done all this shit
in three weeks.
Look how cockeyed he works.
Hes got fuckin brand-new
windshield wipers...
for a busted windshield.
Well, the boy does
have good hands.
Good hands.
Bad taste in cars.
You know, Papa,
you cant polish a turd.
When I said you could scrounge through
that shit pile out back...
I didnt mean you could build
your whole fuckin car with my stuff.
What do you care?
Youre not doing anything with it.
Hey! Dont think you
got the gold key to the crapper.
Nobody takes advantage
of me, understand?
Yeah.
If it wasnt for me, itd cost you
a shit pile to put this heap together.
I know.
Look.
I know you aint got money
falling out of your asshole.
If you did,
you wouldnt be here.
Maybe we could work out
some kind of a deal.
You...
pick up around the place.
Do a few lubes...
put the toilet paper
on the little spools...
shit like that.
Do that and you can...
you can raid my junk pile
for whatever you want.
I might even throw in
a few bucks.
Lll have to think about it.
Well, dont think about it too long!
Lll throw you out on your fuckin ass.
Forever, my darling
My love will be true
Always and forever
lll love just you
Just promise me, darling
Your love in return
May this fire in my soul, dear
Forever burn
My hearts at your command, dear
lll bet you a dollar
she says no.
Just cause she shot you down?
She says no to everybody.
Look what shes doing
to that pencil.
I wish I was an eraser.
Go on, studley.
Ask her out.
Mind your own business.
Just read the book.
Yeah. Come on.
Just dont tip the table over.
What are you reading?
- History.
- Oh.
- Its pretty boring, huh?
- Yeah.
Listen, do you like music?
What about dancing?
Yes.
Do you think you might...
want to go dancing with me...
like maybe this Friday night
after the game?
Lm sorry. I cant.
Why not?
I have a date.
Mr. Gilder! Are you lost?
No, maam.
Why dont you return to your own seat
and get back to work.
Yeah.
Arnie, stay here
so we can talk this over.
Mister, this is not a hotel
you can just drop into.
- I dont need this.
- What do you need?
- I need to leave. Lm late.
- You come back here this instant.
Oh, shit.
Greetings to you too.
Hey, man, no glasses.
Youre lookin good.
I cant make it.
I meant to call you, but I forgot.
Is Dennis going with you?
- Are you going with him?
- Am I?
No. Lve gotta do an errand
for Darnell.
- You need a ride?
- Got his car. Thanks, though.
Lm sorry about the movie,
but this is work. Gotta go.
- Dont worry about it.
- Did you have plans with Dennis?
You are going to have no friends at all
if you keep treating people this way.
Get off my back!
Youre his best friend.
Whats going on?
I dont know.
I hardly see him anymore.
Neither do we.
Ever since he bought that car
hes been obsessed with it.
And you know what else?
When we signed the registration papers
at Town Hall...
they told us the man
who owned that car last...
died in it
of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Jesus.
Does Arnie know about that?
Arnie doesnt know anything anymore.
What the hell do you want?
I know about your brother.
I know he died
choking on exhaust fumes.
You dont know shit, kid.
My brother died
cause he wanted to.
He ran a rubber hose
from the exhaust pipe.
Arnie wouldnt have bought it
if hed known somebody died in it.
Either youre dumb or you
dont know your friend very well.
He had the same look
my brother always had.
Probably the only thing my brother
ever loved in his life was that car.
No shitter ever came between him
and Christine. If they did, watch out.
His five-year-old daughter choked to
death in it. He wouldnt get rid of it.
He rode around without a care
in the world except for Christine.
Only time I ever interfered
was when Rita killed herself.
- Whos Rita?
- His wife!
He didnt care
a rats ass about her.
She died the same way he did.
Then I made him get rid of it.
For decency, you know.
Of course, the car came back
three weeks later.
What do you mean, came back?
Keep a-knockin, but you cant come in
Come back tomorrow night
and try it again
You said you loved me
and you cant come in
You said you loved me
All right. Fifty.
Pass on go.
Ready?
Want me to go deep or flat?
Flat. Lll hit you
on the second shot comin around.
Hey, Trelawney.
- Is that Cuntinghams car?
- Yep.
I know where he keeps it.
Down...
set, go!
Fucking shit!
Get a stretcher!
Come on!
"5,000 Dirty Limericks."
Ought to keep you busy for a while.
This is the third time
lve come by.
Must be dynamite drugs.
Youre always asleep.
Doesnt quite kill the pain.
Rockbridge hasnt won a game
since you got hurt.
That makes you a hero, right?
Did I tell you that lm not gonna
be playing football again? Ever.
The doctor said that
one centimeter more...
and I would have been paralyzed
from the waist down.
Shitters did some job on you, huh?
So whats this
about you and Leigh Cabot?
- We like each other okay.
- Ho-ho. Listen to Mr. Cool.
She just happens to be
the most beautiful girl in the school.
Well, its not what you think.
I really...
respect her mind.
She lusts after my body.
What can I say?
Fuck you.
I saw you guys at the football game.
Howd you ever get that car
tixed up like that?
Oh, just plain
old-fashioned hard work.
I still cant keep her at home.
Mom says it makes
the yard look crowded.
Lm surprised they let you register it.
I told them it they didnt,
ld drop school.
Are you serious?
They just dont want me to grow up
because theyd have to face getting old.
Has it ever occurred to you...
that part of being a parent...
is trying to kill your kids?
See you around, pal.
Lm sorry, Arnie. I cant.
Whats the matter?
Whats wrong?
I cant. Here.
That car.
What are you talking about?
Why not?
Cause I hate that car.
You care more about that car
than me.
Thats crazy, Leigh.
Who do you spend
more time with?
Look...
Youre gonna get a cold. Come on.
I thought girls are supposed to
be jealous of other girls, not cars.
This cars a girl.
Oh, please.
Cut it out. Dont.
What? You dont like me
slapping your girl?
It seems like nobody
likes my car these days.
Oh, shit!
Youre mine
And we belong
Together
Yes, we belong together
Yes, it belongs to only me
What the hell
are you doing?
Get your goddamn
hands off her!
Whoa, whoa! Hey!
You gonna be all right?
Yeah, lm fine now.
You scared the hell out of me.
Then get rid of that car.
Lm not going in it again.
Wait a minute. Dont you blame
your choking on Christine.
It happened, Arnie.
When I choked, something happened.
The radio came on.
- Everything got bright.
- So, what are you saying?
I couldve died,
and you couldnt even help.
My door was locked.
You didnt want that man
to help me either!
I thought he was attacking you!
I could have done the Heimlich maneuver.
But you didnt.
There are other things.
That radio.
All it gets is those old songs.
Sometimes when were making out...
it just stalls.
As if the car
were jealous, Arnie.
A goddamn car!
Lll get it.
Know what I think?
I think youre just
sexually frustrated.
Lm sorry, okay?
Can I at least call you tomorrow?
I dont know.
Come on.
Come on, baby, please.
Its all right.
Everything is the same.
I love you like I do
Dont know why I love you
Dont know why I care
I wonder why I love you like I do
Is it because
I know you love me too
Check this out!
Keep a-knockin,
but you cant come in
lll just be a second. I just have to
get my wallet out of Christine.
Want to come in with me?
Please.
You know, lve been thinking.
Maybe we should apply
to the same colleges next year.
- Really?
- Yeah.
If we get accepted
by the same schools...
we could take it as a sign of fate.
Youd have me to help you
through math, and if...
Arnie, whats wrong?
Who did this?
Dont touch me, shitter!
This is just what you wanted!
You get away from her!
Arnie, lm sorry.
Sorry?
Yes.
L...
That is, we...
Its your fault.
If you hadnt been so damn selfish that
you wouldnt let me park my own car...
in your precious driveway,
this never would have happened.
Thats not fair.
Oh, its fair.
Cant we even talk about this...
like rational human beings?
One of them took a shit
on the dashboard of my car, Ma.
Hows that for rational, huh?
Why dont we...
Your mother and I have decided
to help you buy a new car.
Well, thats what
everybody wants, isnt it?
Well, fuck you.
Lm fixing up Christine.
Listen, mister, youve been
disrespectful to us once too often!
You apologize to your mother
right now!
Take your mitts off me, motherfucker!
Lm hittin the sack.
Well make it better, huh?
Cant hurt us anymore...
not if we work together.
Well show those shitters
what we can do.
Show me.
Little bitty pretty one
Come on, come to me
Lovey dovey, lovely one
Until lm on my knees
Is that you, Cunningham?
Hey, you aint mad, are ya?
Oh, shit.
Youre a dead man now!
Where have you been?
You hear about
what happened to Moochie?
Yeah.
Almost makes you feel sorry
for the little bastard.
Hows Christine coming?
Oh, cherry.
I spent a shitload of money on her,
and shes perfecto now.
Thats funny, you know, cause...
I heard she was totaled.
After I cleaned up the broken glass,
it wasnt so bad.
I bet you a hundred bucks...
it was Buddy Repperton.
Maybe.
So what if you fix it up and he
just comes back and does it again?
He wont do it again.
What does that mean?
Man, I gotta go.
I hope you didnt think
I could hang around here all day.
Yeah, thats you, Arnie,
always in demand.
Stay loose.
You know it.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Lean machine.
They let you out early?
Yeah, thats right.
Lm Rudolph Junkins,
State Police, Detective.
Lm just missing a study hall.
I got to get to work.
I dont care about that.
I want to ask you about your car.
You do nice body work.
I thought this thing was totaled.
- Who told you that?
- Why, hell, everybody.
Local police, your mom and dad,
your girl. Cute girl, by the way.
It wasnt as bad as it looked.
The report said
they punched holes in the body.
Damned if I can see the fill.
You can if you look.
Its right over there...
and back here.
Lve been lucky with parts.
I replaced the entire door on this side.
- Yeah?
- See where the paint doesnt match?
Nope. A hell of a job, Arnie.
Well, thank you very much.
So what do you want?
I really like this shade of red.
Didnt think they made this anymore.
Do they still make this shade?
Well, they must.
I bought it, didnt I?
- Where?
- Baker Auto out on Route 5.
- You still got the receipt?
- Tossed it out.
You know, its funny...
Cigarette?
No, thanks.
Usually when somebody trashes a car,
we get photographs.
Wait. They didnt really trash it.
Thats not what Leigh said.
She was so shaken up,
giving me all the details...
she broke down crying.
I understand...
one of the perpetrators
defecated on the dashboard.
I wouldve thought youd
be madder than hell at that...
and I wouldve thought
you wouldve reported that.
Shit wipes off.
Moochie Welch
kind of got wiped off too.
I dont know.
- You dont know?
- No.
Scouts honor?
Lm not a Scout.
The kid was cut in half. They had
to scrape his legs up with a shovel.
Isnt that what youre supposed
to do with shit...
scrape it up with a shovel?
Dont get smart with me, son.
Your girlfriend is
more convincing than you are.
Shes not my girlfriend.
And since when is it against the law
to fix your own car...
when somebody else busts it up?
Since never.
Then you get off my back.
I need to see you.
I care about you.
Look, I love you.
I think we deserve one more try.
Dont you?
Would you give me a yes or no!
Please dont do this to me.
Just be straight with me.
Youve had it, right?
Well, fuck you, bitch!
Want to do the honors?
Ld love to bring her along.
Sure.
- She can earn her way.
- Bullshit.
Lets get Vandenberg.
Baby!
Lll never be your beast of burden
My back is broad
but its a-hurtin
All I want is for you
to make love to me
lve walked for miles
My feet are hurtin
Asshole.
Watch this.
Lets give this asshole
some of his own medicine.
Hes backing up too.
Some shitheads following me!
I hope he comes in here!
- Is that Cunningham?
- It cant be.
Look at my car.
Come on, prick!
Were not finished yet.
Come on!
Hello, Henry? This is Will.
Listen. Cunningham get there?
The order okay?
Good.
Listen. He was driving
my Caddy, wasnt he?
Good. Yes. Take it easy.
Okay, Jack. Come on out.
The ride is over.
If lm gonna have to come in
and get ya...
lm gonna get ya.
Why dont you do us both a favor.
Come on out.
I got a girl named Bony Moronie
Shes as skinny
as a stick of macaroni
Oughta see her rock and roll
with her blue jeans on
What?
Not very fat
Just skin and bone
I love her and she loves me
Were all happy now
as we can be
Makin love
underneath the apple tree
Well, I told her mama
and her papa too
- Whats goin on?
- You tell me.
- Where were you last night?
- Home.
- What are you doing to my car?
- You didnt go out at all?
Of course I went out. I got Darnells
car out front with a load of parts.
- You want the receipt?
- Yeah.
How come youre showing up just now?
Why didnt you unload
the stuff last night?
Because I was tired, thats why.
If you dont believe me,
you can ask my mother.
Why do you keep
butting into my life?
Because we found your boss,
Will Darnell, dead in your front seat...
with a shotgun by his side.
- Why?
- I was hoping you could answer that.
Somebody saw your car cruising
behind Buddy Repperton last night.
Hes dead too.
So are Don Vandenberg
and Richard Trelawney.
Guess nobodyll be trashing
your car anymore.
Well, all I know...
I got a Cadillac full of parts...
and lm supposed to be
at school in half an hour.
Well take care of the Caddy.
I dont want you touching it.
Honest, I dont know whats going on.
I swear I dont.
May I please speak to Dennis?
Its a girl.
Happy New Year.
Can I come over there?
I need to talk to you.
- What, about Arnie?
- About Christine.
You first.
Lm afraid for Arnie.
I thought you wanted to talk
about Christine.
What do you know about that car?
I know that the guy
who owned the car before Arnie...
Yeah?
His daughter choked to death
in Christine.
How do you know that?
LeBays brother sold Arnie the car,
and the guys a jerk.
- He just came out and told me.
- I think I was supposed to be next.
Come on.
Arnie would never do that.
Not in a million years.
I dont think hes Arnie.
Its that car.
I swear its the car.
Maybe.
Lm going to Arnies tonight
for New Years...
- I wouldnt.
- Its okay.
We do it every year.
His folks are going to be there.
Maybe if I get him alone,
maybe hell talk to me.
What if he doesnt?
- What do you mean?
- I dont know.
What if that car doesnt let him?
Then we destroy it.
Well, come on

Lets go, lets go

And tell me that
youll never leave me
Come on, come on
Well, now, swing me, swing me
all the way down there
Well, now, swing me, swing me

Come on, lets go, little darlin
Lets go again once more
My man, you really operate
on those babies.
Yeah, I manage.
We got the old rust bucket tonight.
You wanna watch what you call my car.
Shes real sensitive.
Is she?
Sorry, Christine.
Good boy.
Lets motorvate.
Have a beer.
Dont be shy.
My cars your car.
A toast.
Death...
to the shitters
of the world in 1979.
Come on.
I cant drink to that.
What can you drink to?
What about to us?
You know, to friendship?
Oh, friendship. Right.
Thats real good.
Come on!
I want you to see this.
This is great alignment.
You just dont see this anymore.
Dont be scared.
Lm scared for you,
for whats happened to you.
Its this fucking car.
I know youre jealous.
Well always be friends,
as long as you stick with me.
You know what happens
to shitters who dont.
No. What does happen?
Lets not kid each other.
Who are the shitters?
All of em.
Leighs on your side.
- Oh, yeah?
- She cares a lot about you.
She does.
Yeah.
Dont you like this beer?
I thought you liked beer.
Did you hear what I just said?
Let me tell you
a little something about love.
It has a voracious appetite.
It eats everything...
friendship, family.
It kills me, how much it eats.
Lll tell you something else.
Feed it right,
and it can be a beautiful thing...
and thats what we have.
When someone believes in you, you can do
any fucking thing in the universe...
and when you believe right back
in that someone...
then watch out, world,
cause nobody can stop you ever!
You feel this way about Leigh?
What? Fuck, no!
Lm talkin about Christine, man.
No shitter ever came
between me and Christine.
Watch this.
Oh, shit.
Chicken shit!
Man, there is nothin finer than being
behind the wheel of your own car...
except maybe for pussy.
Its kinda spooky in here, huh?
Looks like they cleaned out
the whole place.
Jesus.
Thats where he used to keep it.
Down there.
Yeah.
You better get started.
Yeah!
What do you think?
Lets try it.
Christines gonna come
through the door.
You better get in the office
and stay out of sight.
Once she gets inside, hit the button
and bring the door down.
Then well have her trapped.
What if he doesnt come?
Christine will.
You better get in the office.
Keep your head down.
When you hear me start this thing up,
thats when you hit the button.
Leigh, dont move!
Stay where you are!
You shitters!
Oh, God.
Arnies dead.
Lll forever love you
The rest of my days
lll never part from you
Are you okay?
I think so.
Rock, rock, rock
Oh, baby
Rock and roll is here to stay
It will never die
It was meant to be that way
Though I dont know why
I dont care what people say
Rock and roll is here to stay
We dont care what people say
Rock and roll will always be
I dig it to the end
Itll go down in history
Just you watch, my friend
Rock and roll will always be
Itll go down in history
I wouldnt feel so bad, if I were you.
You two are heroes, you know.
Yeah. A real hero
couldve saved Arnie.
We didnt do so hot.
Some things cant be helped.
Some people too.
Yeah.
I love you so, dear
And lll never let you go
Come on, baby, so
God, I hate rock and roll.
