Don't bring me down..

scene from my script. Two men (George Curry, and Frank Torkleson) are driving late at night (3 am) in an old pickup. They try to find a radio station to listen to while driving through Eastern Washington. They're en route to Northern Idaho. There are only country stations or talk shows about alien ships. So they put in a CD and are listening to ELO's "Don't bring me down". Frank is singing along.

Frank Torkleson: "Youre always talkin bout your crazy nights,
One of these days youre gonna get it right. Dont bring me down,no no no no no, Ill tell you once more before I get off the floor Dont bring me down!

Dont bring me down, Bruce!
Dont bring me down, Bruce!
Dont bring me down, Bruce!"

Frank is interupted by George.

George: "It's Groos, not Bruce"
Frank: "What is Groos and not Bruce?"
G: "The lyric"
F: "The lyric is "don't bring me down Groos?"
G: "Yes. Now quit singing it"
F: "Wait, you're telling me that the lyric ISN'T Bruce? Who the hell, or better yet, what the hell is a Groos?"
G: "I don't know. It just is"
F: "That makes no sense. You sure it's not Bruce?"
G: "Yes. Why would a guy be telling another guy not to bring him down?"
F: "I don't know, maybe it's about two guys? Why would he be telling groos not to bring him down?"
G: "It's not a guy, you idiot"
F: "The person singing it?"
G: "No, the "groos" bit. It's like a foreign word. Like 'Don't bring me down, bitch!' Like it's a way of saying don't be such a bitch"
F: "Seriously? That totally ruins the song for me."
G: "Think about it." (George plays back the track)

They listen to the lyrics.

"You got me runnin goin out of my mind,
You got me thinkin that Im wastin my time.
Dont bring me down,no no no no no,
Ill tell you once more before I get off the floor
Dont bring me down.

You wanna stay out with your fancy friends.
Im tellin you its go to be the end,
Dont bring me down,no no no no no no no no,
Ill tell you once more before I get off the floor
Dont bring me down."

G: "See? Thats about a guy telling a woman to kiss his ass"
F: "No it isn't"
G: "Have you ever actually listened to the lyrics of the song?" (George replays the last part of the song)

"What happend to the girl I used to known,
You let your mind out somewhere down the road,
Dont bring me down,no no no no no,
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Dont bring me down.

Youre always talkin bout your crazy nights,
One of these days you're gonna get it right.
Dont bring me down,no no no no no,
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Dont bring me down."

G: "See? Now do you understand?"
F: "shut up"

They go on listening to the next song, One night in bangkok, by Murray Head.

F: "Ok, you can't tell me this isn't about sex"
G: "Nope, it's about a chess tournament"
