It's the summer of 1957 and Harold goes to pick up hisdate, Peggy Sue. Harold's a pretty hip guy with his own carand a duck tail hairdo.

When he goes to the front door, Peggy Sue's mother answers and invites himin. 'Peggy Sue's not ready yet, so why don't you have a seat?'

Peggy Sue's mother asks Harold whatthey're planning to do. Harold replies politely that they will probablyjust go to the malt shop or to a drive-in movie.

Peggy Sue's mother responds, 'Why don't you kids go out and screw? Ihear all the kids are doing it.'

Naturally this comes as quite a surpriseto Harold and he says, 'Whaaaat?'

'Yes,' says Peggy Sues mother, 'We know Peggy Sue really likesto 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 hasrevised the plans for the evening.

A few minutes later,Peggy Sue comes downstairs in her little poodle skirt with hersaddle shoes, and says she's ready to go.

Almost with breathless anticipation, Harold escorts his date out the frontdoor while Peggy Sue's Mom is saying, 'Have a good eveningkids,' ...with a small wink for Harold.

About 20 minutes later, a thoroughly disheveled Peggy Sue rushes back intothe house, slams the door behind her and screams at her mother:

'Dammit, Mom! It's The Twist! It's called The Twist!'
