Max grabs the steering while, and the car swerves down a side street. After knocking over a few things, the car stops in front of Roxanne's house. Max gets out of the car.

Zacky:
Now, make it quick, Maxie boy. We gotta put some road behind us!

Max walks up to the front door.

Max:
You get to cancel your first date in less than an hour!

Max rings the doorbell.

Max:
Must be some kind of lame-o record!

The door opens to reveal a rather mean looking person who growls at Max.

Max:
Hi! Is Roxanne home? Oh, My name is Max. Does Roxanne live here? Does she even live on this block?

Roxanne:
Wait! It's okay, Daddy. Max is a friend from school.

Roxanne's father lovingly pats Roxanne, then growls at Max again. He turns and goes back inside.

Roxanne:
Go on. Go on. Good Daddy. Hey, Max.

Max mumbles something.

Roxanne:
You wanna, uh, have a seat?

Max mumbles something, then helps Roxanne to sit on her porch railing. Roxanne's father, peeking through the mail slot growls at Max. Max puts his hands behind his back and grins nervously.

Roxanne:
Daddy!

The mail slot closes.

Roxanne:
I promise he'll be better behaved when you pick me up for the party.

Max:
Yeah, that's, uh, sorta why I came by.

Roxanne:
I'm really looking forward to it, Max.

Max:
Yeah, I was, too.

Roxanne:
(disappointed) Was?

Max:
Well, you see my dad's on this stupid father/son kick, and...

Roxanne:
Oh, don't worry about it, Max. It's just a dumb party.

Max:
No, it's not! Roxanne, I really wanted to go with you. I...

Roxanne:
No, Max, I understand. Really, sometimes these things happen...

Max:
My dad surprised me, I don't even want to go, but I have no choice.

Roxanne:
I'm sure I can find someone else.

Max:
Someone else?

Roxanne:
I'll just talk to you later.

Max:
(thinking quickly) Um, uh, Roxanne, uh, my dad is, uh, My dad's taking me to the Powerline concert in L.A.!!

Roxanne:
Your dad is taking you clear across the country just to see a concert?

Max:
Well, uh, you see, my dad, uh, knew .. knows! Knows Powerline! They used to play together! In a band! Yeah!

The car horn honks.

Zacky:
Come on, son! Let's get this show on the road!

Max:
Just a minute, you ... party ... animal, ... you.

Zacky looks confused, then grins.

Roxanne:
You're really serious!

Max:
Absolutely! So uh, you aren't still thinking of going with someone else, are you?

Roxanne:
Well, I guess...

Max:
Because I was hoping I could, uh, wave to you on-stage when we join Powerline for the final number!

Roxanne:
This is incredible!

Max:
Well, I wouldn't miss our date for anything that wasn't incredible, Roxanne.

Roxanne kisses Max on the cheek. Max dreamily staggers back to the car.

Roxanne:
Have a great time at the concert, Max.

Max mumbles something.

Roxanne:
I'll see you on TV!

Reality hits Max that he has said something he can't possible follow through with.

Max:
I'm in deep sludge!
