Synopsis
Elaine barely speaks. Roy almost never stops. Elaine lives at home, and rough-edged carny Roy's been around the block more than a few times. It's their first official date. Roy's driven Elaine around on his motorcycle, and they've finally reached his favorite spot, a virtually abandoned pier. The date's not going well, or is it...?
