Sudden flash of rock singer in psychedelic lights. Now they're wheeling her into an elevator filled with other damaged patients. Out of the elevator they go . . . why, it's a big party, a charity dance, the sign says, to benefit some highway safety campaign. George C. Scott, looking annoyed, is leaving.
