16 INT. HIGH SCHOOL CLASSROOM - DAY

A crowded high school geometry classroom. In the back of the class, sitting

at a desk is Rollergirl. A TEACHER walks about, handing out the final exam.

Rollergirl looks it over; a lot of questions, diagrams and generally

confusing material. She looks across the room;

Two BOYS are looking at her and chuckling to themselves. One guy looks to

the other and makes a "blow job" gesture.

She looks away, they continue their gestures and giggling. Other students

notice and smile.

CAMERA ARRIVES CU. ON ROLLERGIRL. She stands up, heads for the door -- the

teacher calls after her -- but she's gone.

nearby.

BUCK:

twice the base, cause of the TK421

modification we got in this system here.

CUSTOMER:

I don't know - do I need that much bass?

If you want a system to handle

what you want -- yes you do.

See this system here. This is Hi-Fi.

that it's the highest quality fidelity.

CUSTOMER:

BUCK:

I have this unit at home.

CUSTOMER:

BUCK:
