Steve is convinced that life in this
small town cannot offer him any prospects for his career and therefore he
regards his scholarship as the only way to escape life in his hometown. He is
the would-be businessman, the clean-cut all-American boy, who already thinks
of himself as an adult and tries to appear mature and sensitive. Steve wants
to spend his last evening with his girlfriend Laurie, who is not very pleased
about his impending departure. But that last evening does not meet Steve’s
expectations of a perfect last night – they quarrel and Laurie threatens to
leave him. |
