Situation: A father is telling his seventeen year old son about the whole drive-in experience…..
A date? Wow. I'll tell you
what... you are just growin' up faster
than a... well, I guess you're growin'
up just on time, but that's
good. So what's her name? (Pause)
Cindy and Melissa. Wow. Are
they good lookin'? (Pause) Well, like
I always say, "quantity over
quantity is the only way to go." Where
you three gonna go? (Pause) Ah,
the movies. Yeah, back in my day,
instead of just goin' to see a movie
in a theatre, we went to these little
places called "drive-ins." Yeah,
they were great. What you did was you'd
drive up to a spot, take the
speaker from the little pole next to
your car and watch the flick
through your windshield. They don't
have anything like that anymore.
Probably because everybody kept
forgetting about the speakers being in
their car and then they would just rip
it off the pole when they drove
off. I can imagine that being a
problem. I used to always go to the
drive-in when I was about seventeen or eighteen. But
I did it a little differently.
Back in those days I was driving a great
big brown van. Yeah, I did it
all up. Carpeted the entire insides,
including the walls and ceiling.
Had all sorts of psychedelic neon
posters and black lights inside. Even
had a little disco ball hanging from the
ceiling. But that wasn't the
best part. In the back I had a queen
sized bed set up. So here's what
I'd do at the drive in. I'd pull in
backwards instead of forwards.
This way we could open up the two back
doors and lie in a bed while we
watched the movie. I believe in maximum
comfort. Plus, if you had a
date you could just close the doors and
"make out" or what have you.
Hehe. Another fun thing that we did at
the drive-in was we'd dressed up
Charlie, a friend of mine, as a cop.
He'd walk around to all the cars
with people making out and pretend to
bust them for it. I would watch
him do that and almost piss my pants.
Yeah, those were the day
alright. (Pause) So, what movie ya'
gonna see?
