It's the summer of 1957 and Harold goes to pick up his date, Jerri Sue.
Harold's a pretty hip guy with his own car and a duck tail hairdo.
When he goes to the front door, Jerri Sue's father answers and invites him
in. "Jerri Sue's not ready yet, so why don't you have a seat?" he says.
That's cool.
Jerri Sue's father asks Harold what they are planning to do.
Harold replies politely that they will probably just go to the malt shop or
to a drive-in movie. Jerri Sue's father responds, "Why don't you kids go out and
screw? I hear all the kids are doing it."
Naturally this comes as quite a surprise to Harold and he says,"Whaaaat?"
"Yeah," says Jerri Sue's father, "We know Jerri Sue really likes to screw,
why, she'd screw all night if we let her. Harold's eyes light up and he smiles from ear to ear.
Immediately, he has revised the plans for the evening. A few minutes later, Jerri Sue comes
downstairs in her little poodle skirt with her saddle shoes, and announces that she's ready to go.
Almost breathless with anticipation, Harold escorts his date out the front door while Dad is saying,
"Have a good evening kids," with a small wink forHarold.
About 20 minutes later, a thoroughly disheveled Jerri Sue rushes back into
the house, slams the door behind her and sc reams at her father:>
"Dammit, Daddy! The Twist! It's called the Twist!"
