MOTHER

(to FRED) Where were you going?  

TOM

To a drive-in movie with that new girl.  

DOT

(referring to FRED's new girl) She bleaches her hair, you know.  

FRED

She does not.

MOTHER

You want the car to date on a week night?  

FRED

No! (very annoyed with TOM, he goes to him and musses his hair roughly)  
See what you started? Why don't you grow up? 
 

MOTHER

Now, boys... (to FRED) What did you want the car for, Fred?  

FRED

Well, it's a secret.  

DOT

It was her, though, wasn't it? As soon as you hung up you came in and asked Dad for the car.  

TOM

I don't go with girls who call me... I call them. I'm going to be the boss and make the decisions. No girl’s going to run my life.  

FRED

Some boss! Every time you call a girl, she hangs up on you.  

TOM

That's not so!

MOTHER

Let's not start again. Now, both of you, be quiet.  

FRED

Look, Mom... I really need the car. Honest.  

MOTHER

Don't you think you ought to tell us where you're going?  

FRED

Can't you trust me? It's a surprise.  

TOM

I bet... We were surprised that time you smashed the left fender, too.  

FRED

Oh, forget it. I’ll go by taxi.  

DAD

To a drive-in movie?  

FRED

I told you. I'm not going to a movie.  

DAD

Well, a taxi anywhere will be expensive.  

FRED

I have to go, and you won't let me use the car.

DAD

All right. Then let's talk it over. What's so urgent?  

MOTHER

He said it was a secret.  

FRED

A surprise.  

DAD

And you can't tell us what it is?  

DOT

I'm going to use that technique the next time I want something.  

DAD

(to DOT) I haven't said “Yes” yet.  

MOTHER

Don't you think you could let him this time, Paul?  

DAD

How long will you want it?

FRED

If I don't hurry, I won't need it at all. Grandma's at the station...  

MOTHER

Grandma?!!!
