Shampoo – by Robert Towne and Warren Beatty
DARK SCREEN - NOVEMBER 4th, 1968
A darkness where even outlines are not discernible. There is
a dim point of light coming from a dot on the HI-FI which is
PLAYING the BEACH BOYS: "When we could say good night and
still stay together... wouldn't it be niiiice?... we could be
married, then we could be happy, wouldn't it be niiiiice?"
Through it there has been the SOUND of BANGING, distinct and
rhythmic. It GROWS LOUDER as the MUSIC ENDS. There are also
WHIMPERING SOUNDS from a woman.
FELICIA'S VOICE

FELICIA'S VOICE
I can. It makes me nervous.
