A transcript of
Larry's opener:
EXT. HOUSE--NIGHT
A woman answers her door and meets her blind date, Larry.
WOMAN: Hi, you must be--
LARRY: Look, before you develop a whole big list of expectations from me, let me just spell out how it is. This is what I wear, nothing imported, that's fine! Because I'm not a professional male model. I'm also not a doctor, not a lawyer, not a banker, not a CPA. I am a salesperson at a record store. Therefore, if you want to go out with me, we will not be going to any restaurant which refers to itself as a "bistro," a "casa," a "maison." We will be going to McDonald's. Afterwards, we'll catch a movie, not a play, not the opera, not the symphony, not the ballet; it'll be me, McDonalds, movie... think it over, I'll be out in my car. My plain old, just "fine" car.
After this amazing tirade, LARRY turns and walks away.
WOMAN: Larry? McDonald's and a movie . . . sounds great!
"Happy" music punctuates the moment as they walk to his car.
LARRY: Well, just so you know, it's just a date! Not a commitment, not a proposal . . . just a date.
Larry obviously doesn't brook any bullshit, but this is the '80s! What's a hip young clerk like him to listen to? Black Flag? John Cougar Melloncamp? Whitesnake? Beastie Boys? Peter Gabriel?

"We will not be listening to art rock, or prog rock, or punk rock, or college rock... It'll be just plain Rock. It'll be me, you, Huey Lewis & The News."
