Show Description

Shep, Flick and Schwartz standing on the corner when car comes to a stop in front of them. Another car hits this one in the rear knocking the driver of the first car fall out into the street. His car was still in gear and drives off without him. He chases it around in circles and on the 10th lap the car crashes into the pool room. Shep plays music from the album "Play Me A Movie" by Abraham Lass who used to play the piano in theatres during the silent movie days. As he plays each cut, he describes the mood that is trying to be created by the music.

"Can you imagine 4,000 years passing, and you're not even a memory?
Think about it, friends. It's not just a possibility. It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975
