A scene from American Graffiti 1973
Bob Falfa

Hey man, I'm sorry if I scared ya!

John

You're gonna hafta do one hell of a lot more than that to scare me!

Bob Falfa

Hey I've been lookin' all over for ya man. Didn't nobody tell ya I was lookin' for ya?...Hey, you're supposed to be the fastest thing in the Valley, man, but that can't be your car. It must be your mama's car. I'm sorta embarrassed to be this close to ya.

John

I'm not surprised, drivin' a Field Car.

Bob Falfa

Field Car? What's a Field Car?

John

A Field Car runs through the fields, drops cow shit all over the place to make the lettuce grow.

Bob Falfa

[laughing]

That's pretty good. Hey, I like the color of your car there, man. What's that supposed to be? Sorta a cross between Piss Yellow and Puke Green, ain't it?

John

Well, you call that a paint job but it's pretty ugly. I'll betcha you gotta sneak up on the pumps just to get a little air in your tires.

Bob Falfa

Well, at least I don't have to pull over to the side just to let a funeral go by, man.

John

Oh, funny... You know what?

Carol

Your car's uglier than I am! [She turns back to John] That didn't come out right.
