- Matuski's a fag!

Yeah, man! Let's roll!

Come on, Sawyer! Move that thing away!

Come on! Get it out of there!

- What's going on, Sawyer?

- If I knew that, Harlan, I'd fix it!

OK! Come on,

you're holding everybody up. Get in the car.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Motorhead Mike!

Show-off!

I don't believe this.

OK, Sawyer. What's going on?

Distributor caps don't just pop off

unless you want 'em to.

OK.

It's confession time.

I need you to save me

from being voted Senior Class Spinster.

What?

Be a boy scout and give me a date.

Sawyer!

Too much!

OK.

OK, Sawyer. I'll pick you up at eight.

Be outside.

- Outside? Won't you meet my parents?

- Yeah. Outside. No way.

You're better with cars than with people.

Look, if you don't want to do this, it's fine...

No, Harlan. Really.

I'll be outside at eight. Fine.

OK.

Oh, yeah, one more thing.

Do you read that mag "Cosmo"?

That rag? Are you kidding?

Good.

- Harlan?

- What?

The name's Ellie not Sawyer, OK?

Right. Ellie.

Hey, let's move it or we'll move it for ya!

- Let's go, Sherm the worm!

- Move the heap, gonad.

Get it outta the way!

Here you are. A bit more!

It's so good!

Mikey! Mike!

This is my kid here.

- Hi.

- I didn't expect you home so early.

I... I got take-out here.

Why don't you grab yourself a table?

Oh, no, no. That's OK.

Oh, Mike, I'd like you meet Delores.

She's the sales representative for...

- Betty-Jo.

- Betty-Jo Cosmetics.

- How do you do, Michael?

- Hi.

I'm so pleased to make your acquaintance.

I gotta get going. I've got a date.

I'll just... I'll just take a beer.

Nice meeting you, Louise.

Come on, Skipper.

Ciao, Michael.

Louise?

- You're really out to impress me, Harlan!

- What?

- Breaking and entering on a first date!

- Come on!

I can't believe this.

I must have a masochistic tendency

I didn't know about.

Doesn't anybody

wine and dine a girl any more?

Come on!

Keep it down, will you? Get down!

Oh, come on, Harlan. Wait up! Harlan!

This may be a stupid question,

but what are we doing in a junkyard?

- This isn't just any junkyard.

- What's special about it?

It used to be an old military testing ground.

Now they just dump all their old junk here.

I thought you'd like it.

- You want to be a reporter, don't you?

- Yeah. Or a psych.

- What's that got to do with anything?

- Look around.

Everything here's got a story behind it.

Yeah. You know, you're right.

I never really thought about it.

Harlan!

What are we doing here?

I need a project to graduate.

I can't do anything scientific.

What I can do is... is restore old machines.

I might find something to pass off

as my science project.

Michael! Are you OK?
