My Town Page #2

Can't be much.

Who leaves New York for Wheelerville?

Probably a social wart.

Thinks her chances are better here, to get a man.

Boy, was she wrong.

I don't know. What about Mr. Krebs?

He's an old guy, nice-looking.

Down-to-earth.

Yeah, real down-to-earth.

He died two months ago.

San Francisco.

Look, that's them.

Who?

The Slovaks.

They're real weird.

What do you mean?

TUG:
Mr. Larson got a heart attack.

Lucas loaned him money to buy a garage

and they've been here for two whole months

and their garage still hasn't opened.

There's something else.

Something real weird.

Heading for lunch?

Huh?

Oh, hi!

Hi.

Why don't you try Fisher's Diner?

I hear the food's pretty good.

(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)

What do you call this?

A mushroom omelet.

Oh, really?

There aren't any mushrooms in it!

I know. We're out.

Yeah, so, you took it upon yourself to substitute artichoke hearts?

You know, there was nothing wrong with this town

till you started getting creative.

Why can't you just paint by the numbers,

like everybody else?

Hmm?

What's burning?

Six hamburgers, two patty melts

and a grilled cheese sandwich.

Oh, God!

Plate! Plate!

Mark my word, Lucas,

before you get finished with this,

the whole town's gonna be ruined.

Yeah, so Amber tells me.

Uh, now, why don't you loosen up?

Come on. Hey,

I'll tell you what. Um...

Let me take you to lunch here. All right?

Here?

Yeah.

What are you doing?

I'm going to get my hair done.

(SHOUTING) Are you out of your mind?

It's not working for me, Hal.

What about the customers?

It's not fifty-fifty, Hal.

You promised it would be fifty-fifty.

You're overwrought.

You need a break. Take five minutes!

Bye, honey.

Cynthia!

HAL:
Cynthia!

How about that?

(WHISPERING) I can't believe this.

Can you believe this?

I can't believe this.

LAURA:
So, when you think about it,

history's a lot like watching a movie or reading a novel.

It's full of wonderful characters and exciting thoughts.

Revolution,

war,

romance,

murder.

And the best part is,

it really happened.

I think we're gonna have a good time this year.

And some of you girls, I'll be seeing on Fridays too, I think.

Somehow I got stuck with the health class.

Well, I know it's customary to wait for the bell,

but since I don't have anything else to say...

Bye-bye.

STUDENT:
All right, yeah!

(WHISPERING) It's the same thing,

every morning and every night.

He stays in there for about an hour, then comes out.

So?

Why would anybody go into a storm cellar

at the same time, every morning

and every night?

How should I know?

I don't even know what a storm cellar is.

TUG:
Amber?

You're supposed to be asleep.
