00:00Hey, kids, what time is it?
00:05Holy mackerel.
00:10The rock and roll fifties.
00:15Ike was on the golf course and the big bopper was on the charts.
00:20Nixon called Khrushchev a commie. Blasley had pups and Elvis was drafted.
00:25Crazy, man, crazy.
00:40And you see, kids, each package contains two. Two big ones.
00:45You don't even know how to comb your own hair.
00:50You cruising for a bruising, son? You want a mouthful of bloody chiclets?
00:55Crazy, man, they're number one with a gun.
01:05This is America. The man is afraid. Nothing is free, nothing is free.
01:10I'm going to tell you right now, you're not going to beat the system.
01:13You can if you take them by surprise. Hit where they don't expect it.
01:18K. Rob a bank. Let's you and me take a walk to the vault. Giddy up.
01:22You think I'm going to let you rob my bank?
01:26Take the money. Take all the money.
01:28That money's just hummingbird doo-doo.
01:31They'll have the FBI after us.
01:33Oh, gosh, there go our plans for the summer.
01:38I'm going to shoot the way we're going. You know, dead alive in the corner of the Marine.
01:42Drop those guns, ladies.
01:45You know, I don't want to be an outlaw.
01:48Let's do something that'll make us both feel real good.
01:51I cannot believe what's happening here. Look at this.
01:54And the really weird thing is I'm not even mad.
01:57Well, you see, boys and girls, what happened?
02:00Looks like everybody's going to go his own way this summer.
02:03The best things in life are free.
02:06But you can give them to the birds and bees.
02:10Cruisin' America in 57, they blasted their way to rock and roll heaven.
02:16Toolin' down the highway doing 79.
02:19I'm a twin pipe popper and I'm feelin' fine.
02:21Hey, man, dig that. Was that a red stop sign?
