GREG'S
WOODIE
INT. WOODIE
In the car Greg turns on the radio and it's the Beach Boys
SFX Cue Beach Boys SURFING USA
A stereotypical California surfer scene: a bunch of blond-haired surfer
boys in their woodie listening to surf music.
INT. WOODIE. CU RICK'S FACE
Expression of distaste.
RICK:
Turn that surf shit off!
(he snaps )
Greg turns it off and everyone laughs at the unintended irony of this
statement. Greg reaches out and changes the radio.
SFX CUE Psycho Daises by the Yardbirds - and the song plays in the background
throughout the following scene
INT. WOODIE
Small amps, guitar cases and drums in the car including a bass
drum with the logo: Treadway & Company, indicating they are a band.
GREG:
How come they don't play Slim Harpo on the radio?
RICK:
Because normal people are too square to know who Slim Harpo is!
INS Scene of the other cars on the freeway and their all-American crew
cut passengers show this is true.
R-MOE:
Shit, we're lucky if they even play the Animals or the Kinks on the
radio! Like this Yardbirds song is tits! But they hardly ever play it
RICK:
What station is this?
R-MOE:
KMEN - in San Burdo. They got a real English DJ
RICK:
Yeah?
GREG:
(glumly)
Maybe we shoulda just stuck to playing surf music!
Everyone ponders this statement, then Greg cracks a smile:
GREG:
NAH!
Surfing is bitchen but,
EVERYONE:
(joining in loudly)
SURF MUSIC SUCKS!!!
They all fall about laughing; except George
CUT
EXT. LATE AFTERNOON. WOODIE
Continues down the freeway. Surfboards conspicuously strapped on top
R-MOE V.O.:
Come on, step on it, Greg. We gotta pick up Steve and get to the gig.
