Palm Springs Weekend Page #2

Don't panic, Cora.

It's the beginning of a gay week.

Rest stop. Fifteen minutes.

Everybody rest.

- Want a cold drink while we're waiting?

- Yes, please.

Looks like a madhouse in there.

Why don't you wait here?

Oh!

Hello?

Oh, hello, Dad?

No, this is Henry Blanchard, Eric.

Oh. May I speak with my father, please,

Mr. Blanchard?

He's not here.

Your father and the new Mrs. Dean

are honeymooning at Acapulco.

He went and did it again, huh?

He didn't say if he was planning

to stop in Palm Springs, did he?

- No, he didn't mention it.

- Oh.

Well, next time you see him,

just say that Eric sends regards.

No, you better say "your son. "

Yeah, make it "your son sends regards. "

" Eric" may not ring a bell.

Hee-hee-hee. You're a cute bunny.

Well, thank you. What's your name?

Eric Dean.

And I'm delighted

to make your acquaintance.

I wasn't talking to you. I asked him.

Oh, I beg your pardon.

Hi. I'm Bugs Bunny.

- Take me with you.

- Well, I don't know.

Before you answer that, I think

I'd better tell you, where he goes, I go.

We're a set.

Oh?

Well, I think I could trust Mr. Bugs,

but I'm not so sure about you.

Well, at least we could drive you

to Palm Springs.

And Bugs is a sparkling conversationalist.

All you have to do is pull the string.

No, I don't think so. Thanks, really.

- Why not?

- For one thing, my bags are on the bus.

We can pick your bags up at the station.

And I'll drive you

anywhere you wanna go, anywhere.

- No, I don't think I should.

- Oh, of course you should.

Bugs wouldn't steer you wrong.

Climb aboard.

I didn't get your name.

Jane- Gail Lewis.

Where you from, Gail?

My parents live in Beverly Hills.

I'm just home on a vacation.

I'm a junior at the University of Hawaii.

Oh, do you do much surfing there?

- Of course, all the time.

- Mm-hm.

Hold it. You're in training, remember?

I'll get rid of them.

Hi, coach.

- Hi.

- Hi, coach. How you doing?

- Good to see you.

- Good to see you.

Hi. Hi, guys.

- Hi, coach.

Nice day.

Howdy.

Well, hi.

Hey, cowboy, that thing give milk?

Never tried to find out.

What's it doing out of the pasture?

Don't sell her short, buddy.

There's a lot of life left

in this little old dogie.

Well, now, what do you say

we give her a try?

Oh, no. I'm too young to die.

Besides, I don't plan to kill myself

out here on the highway.

Well, bless my soul.

Get along, little dogie.

Thanks for the lift.

Here, take these inside. Wait a minute.

- There you go.

- Thank you.

- You like going fast, don't you?

- You didn't have to run him off the road.

- He might have gotten hurt.

- Aw, wait a minute.

When am I gonna see you again?

I don't know. I'll be here all week.
