We see a four car garage attached to a large, white, modern mansion on the side of a hill in Malibu. It overlooks the Pacific Ocean. From inside, we hear a car door close.
The garage door rattles opens. As it rises, we see a pool of blackness inside.
Suddenly, two, low red lights peer at us like bloodshot eyes out of the darkness, and a throaty roar of a sports car engine blasts our ears. White reverse lights come on, and as the car backs out the morning sunlight hits it.
It is a perfectly mint, red 1967 Alpha Romeo Spider. The driver is Benjamin Braddock, Chairman and CEO of Braddock Plastics..
He turns the car and drives out of frame.

CUT TO:
CU of his hand turning on the radio.
We hear the first notes: "de dede de de de dede de de dede de..."
One of my all time favorite songs, from one of my all time favorite movies, sung by one of my all time favorite people.
