Quoting directly from “Can’t Stop It” the feature length movie script:
CUT TO: INT. PROFESOR REMEMBERS ROADHOUSE & BAKERY CAFE – DINING ROOM WAITRESS PAT (taking Jimmy’s order)
Last, but hopefully not least?
JIMMY: I’ll have The Prof’s jumbo cheeseburger, fries and a mo….
We SEE Jimmy stopping mid sentence. He’s distracted by a brunette in shorts and top who walks by his table and sits two tables away. She’s alone.
ON JIMMY, he can’t take his eyes off this beautiful girl.
WAITRESS PAT: Mocha…?
JIMMY (in the clouds): Huh?
WAITRESS PAT: Mocha what?
JIMMY: Whaa…Oh, mocha…mocha malted shake.
WAITRESS PAT: Is that everything?
JIMMY (staring at Marie): Sure is.
PERKIE (nudging Jimmy): You O.K. Cuz?
JIMMY: I…ah…ha…who is that girl? (tips head in Marie’s direction)
PERKIE (his back is to Marie): Who?
JIMMY: There, behind you.
PERKIE (looking over his shoulder): I don’t know, but I’d love…
CATHY (jostling Perkie shoulder to shoulder): That’s Marie Scapelli (to Perkie, playfully), keep your eyes front and center mister.
JIMMY: How come I’ve never seen her?
CATHY: You remember our sixth-grade teacher, Mrs. Davis?
JIMMY: How could I forget?
CATHY: Mrs. Davis is Marie’s grandmother.
JIMMY: Does Marie…Scrappedi live in Statesville?
CATHY: Scapelli…
JIMMY (carefully): Sca-pel-li.
CATHY: Does now, at least until her folks patch things up.
JIMMY: She going with anyone?
CATHY: Well lickity split Jimmy; she’s only been here three days.
JIMMY: What did you say?
CATHY: She and her Mom moved in with Granma three days ago.
JIMMY: No that split thing you said.
CATHY: Lickity split?
JIMMY: Yeah, lickity split. I like that.
CATHY: It’s just an expression…like “quick as a wink”.
JIMMY (in his own world): Lickity split…lickity split…
CUT TO: INT. PROF REMEMBER’S – DINING ROOM – LATER
Jimmy and friends are finishing off their meal. Jimmy is writing something on a napkin and consulting with drummer Hand Jive who is intermittently tapping out a rhythm pattern on the table. Pat the waitress is clearing Marie’s table. Marie is sipping Professor Remember’s Elev N Lime, still alone.
