The Blue Moon Lonely Hearts Club

INT: ITALIAN RESTAURANT - LATE AFTERNOON 1957 CEDAR LAKE, INDIANA

BIG BOY ROCOCO and CHUCKY BOY ROCOCO stand in an all but empty restaurant. BEBE ROCOCO (overweight) and JASMINE ROCOCO (slender), both dressed in waitress outfits, both with long black hair done up in a bun, stand in the BG with CANDY MACKS. Candy takes notes as she talks, but she keeps looking toward Big Boy and Chucky Boy.
