Interesting.

MR. DIPERNA (V/O): You, there!

(Kevin looks over his shoulder.)

(Shot of Kevin sighing and frowning at them off-screen.)

Now this was technically none of my business.

(Wider shot of Larry and Mr. Diperna as Larry lifts the strap over his head, and Mr. Diperna smoothes his shirt inside his belt.)

Crushing individual spirit was the Vice-Principal's job...

And he took it seriously.

(Close shot of Kevin looking at Mr. Diperna off-screen.)

Still...

KEVIN: Mr. Diperna?

(Shot past Larry of Kevin looking at him.)

LARRY (V/O): Tell ya what...

(Shot past Kevin of Larry looking at him.)

LARRY: I could teach ya. (Nods.)

(Close shot of Kevin looking at Larry off-screen.)

Not really.

Fade to

Ext. Day - The Street

(Shot of Kevin riding his bike up the street, close to the camera, which rolls back with him as some acoustic Snuffy guitar plays.)

After all, I was a child of the suburbs. I'd grown up on peanut butter, and station-wagons, and Tang. The whole idea of me...

(Loud guitar feed-back is heard.)

Playing rock-and-roll guitar was...well...it just wasn't me.

(Close shot of Kevin glancing off, then smiling slightly as a dog howls.)

Fade to

Int. Day - Larry's Garage

(Close shot of the neck of a guitar as Larry's hand arranges Kevin's fingers on the strings.)

(He nods and taps Kevin on the shoulder.)

KEVIN: Fine. (Frowns.)

(Larry tucks his hair behind his ears.)

Still, standing there...

(Close shot of Kevin looking from Larry off-screen to the guitar.)

Actually holding that guitar...

(Shot past Larry of Kevin looking at him and frowning, then looking off.)

I felt square.

(Kevin glances at Larry, then looks down.)

I felt...

(Close shot of Kevin's hand as he strums the guitar, and a loud chord plays. The camera pans up as Kevin looks off, slightly surprised.)

I felt forty billion volts of power...

(Kevin looks at Larry off-screen and smiles slightly.)

Run through my body.

(Shot past Kevin of Larry nodding.)

(Close shot of Kevin and Larry's hands as Larry makes an adjustment.)

(Shot past Kevin of Larry looking at him.)

(Larry gestures and nods slightly.)

LARRY: Let me turn up the juice. (Smiles.)

It was...

LARRY (V/O): Rock and roll, man.

(Kevin looks up, then smiles at Larry off-screen.)

(Shot past Kevin of Larry smiling at him.)

(He raises his hands.)

Noise?

Noise?! OK, maybe that was true.

(Close shot of Kevin looking toward Jack off-screen.)

(Shot of Kevin and Larry as Larry leans on a sink and adjusts his hair. Sound of a toilet flushing.)

LARRY: What do you mean your parents won't let you have a guitar?

(Shot past the clerk and register of Kevin smiling as he digs out some more money.)

From a summer spent mowing lawns.

"I hope I die before I get old"

(Kevin puts some change in the clerks hand.)

"Talkin' 'bout my generation"

(Shot through the window of the clerk walking along the wall of guitars, looking at them.)

It was time to declare a little independence. It was time to put the older generation on notice, and take what was rightfully mine.

(The camera pans down the neck of a quitar standing upright in near the window.)

"Why don't you all f-fade away"
Talkin' 'bout my generation"

(There is an amp sitting next to the guitar, and a sign reading "Special - Guitar & Amp" with prices of $40.99 and $39.99 crossed out, and the third price of $38.99)

"Talkin' 'bout my generation"

(Kevin puts the strap over his shoulder.)

(Kevin looks forward and smiles slightly.)

(Kevin pulls on the lead from the guitar till he gets the plug.)

To be in the presence of a rich musical tradition...that was as old...

I knew something was about to happen.

(Kevin looks toward the amp.)

Something extraordinary.

"Where the agent man won't let you down"

(Shot past a cymbal as Mark frowns and plays.)

We explored new rhythms.

(Shot of Kevin playing, then turning toward Larry.)

"Sell your soul to the company"

We found our sound.

(Kevin squats lower as he plays.)

But mostly...

(Shot past a drum of Mark playing.)

We just had fun.

(Shot of Larry and Kevin playing.)

"And in a week or two if you make the charts"

(Shot of Mark playing rapidly.)

"The girls'll tear you apart"

(Shot of Larry dramatically kneeling and bending down as he holds the microphone. Sound of a cheering crowd.)

And pretty soon...

(Wide shot of all. Larry and Kevin are standing back-to-back as they play. The camera moves in slightly. Kevin and Larry separate.)

LARRY: Yeah!

In a manner of speaking. OK...so we were lousy.

(Shot of Mark looking toward Larry off-screen.)

But who cared? No one had to listen to us...

(Shot past Larry of Kevin looking at his guitar, as Larry lifts his strap over his head.)

So what difference did it make?

(Shot past Kevin of Larry, who is sitting on something.)

LARRY: Guys - I meant to tell ya. I got us a gig.

(Close shot of Kevin looking slightly surprised.)

And suddenly, it made a difference.

(Close shot of Neal as he smiles and looks over his shoulder at Mark off-screen.)

(Close shot of Kevin looking at Larry off-screen.)

(Close shot of Kevin glancing off then looking at Larry off-screen.)

KEVIN: Yeah, but...(Frowns.)

LARRY (V/O): Come on...

(Close shot of Larry looking at Kevin off-screen.)

LARRY: What are you afraid of? (Frowns.)

(Close shot of Kevin looking at Larry off-screen.)

What was I afraid of?

(Kevin sighs, then looks off.)

How about, say...total public humiliation?

(Kevin glances toward Larry off-screen, then looks off.)

For starters.

(Kevin sighs and frowns slightly, and looks at Larry off-screen.)

KEVIN: Look, Larry...you've played in bands before...you know we just can't -

(Close shot of Larry looking off, and rubbing his neck.)

(Close shot of Kevin looking at Larry off-screen.)

KEVIN: Larry?

(Close shot of Larry looking off, and holding his neck, then looking at Kevin off-screen.)

(Close shot of Kevin looking at Larry off-screen.)

KEVIN: You have played in bands before, haven't you?

(Shot of Mark frowning slightly at Larry off-screen.)

(Close shot of Larry looking down, holding his neck, then shrugging at Kevin off-screen.)

LARRY: What difference does that make?

(Close shot of Kevin looking at Larry off-screen.)

And then it all came clear.

(Kevin sighs and glances off.)

Paul had been right. There was potential for real disaster, here.

(Kevin looks at Larry off-screen.)

KEVIN: Look, Larry - I'm not going to go out there and make a complete fool out of myself! (Frowns.)

(Close shot of Larry looking down and frowning slightly as he nods faintly, then looks at Kevin off-screen.)

LARRY: It's up to you, man. (Gestures.) We're gonna be there. (Nods.) You're either with us...(frowns)...or you're out.

(Close shot of Kevin looking at Larry off-screen, then toward Neal off-screen.)

(Shot of Neal as he takes his guitar off.)

What could I say? I wanted to be with them...

(Neal stands up and looks at Kevin off-screen.)

I wanted to take the chance and throw caution to the winds...

(Shot of Mark looking at Kevin off-screen.)

I wanted to rock and roll!

(Close shot of Kevin glancing off.)

But the fact is...I didn't have the guts.

(Kevin looks downs and sighs.)

KEVIN: Sorry, guys.

(Kevin lifts the guitar strap up.)

(Close shot of Larry frowning slightly at Kevin off-screen.)

(Shot of Kevin as he takes the strap off his shoulder and turns toward his amp.)

KEVIN: You can count me out. (Frowns.)

(The camera pans over the the amp as Kevin pulls the guitar jack out. Some acoustic Snuffy guitar plays.)

(Close shot of Kevin looking forward and frowning slightly.)

I mean, playing in Larry's garage was one thing, but...risking my reputation? That was just...

(Close shot of the TV, showing a slightly wider shot of Mitch and the group behind him.)

Dumb.

Listen to that.

(He puts his hand on his hips and nods.)

Yep! I was on to somethin', here.

(Kevin glances off and frowns.)

(Shot of Kevin smiling and looking toward the crowd off-screen.)

Lived out...
