Answer: Bobby's Rink

Joe goes to Diane's show (for her paintings), and sees a portrait of himself that Diane painted from memory. He takes it off the easel and goes over to where Diane and her boyfriend are having an argument. Diane's boyfriend says that her show is a disaster and that she only sold two paintings. Joe says that Diane just sold three, and held up the painting he removed from the easel. Diane's boyfriend tells Joe that he can't just rip it down and that if it's damaged, Joe will have to pay for it; he then asked Joe who invited him. Joe tells him that Diane did, and her boyfriend says that was a mistake, and Diane tells her boyfriend that she made two mistakes, one being the show and the other him. Joe takes Diane by the hand and they leave the art gallery, with Joe walking out holding the painting. He asks Diane to help him put it in the car because he didn't want it to get damaged. Joe then asks Diane if she needs a ride home, and Diane says yes. However, instead of taking Diane home, Joe takes her to Bobby's Rink, which is open 7 days a week from 3 PM to 3 AM.

What band are you talking about?" Joe: "The Cruisers. Eddie and The Cruisers." Diane: "What are you saying, Joe?" Joe: "I'm Eddie Wilson." Diane: "Oh, come on! You and ten other guys, right? I've seen those look-alike contests. Eddie Wilson died when his car went over a bridge. Didn't he? Didn't he?" Joe: I still don't remember what happened. I was driving. The car hit the guardrail of the bridge, and I lost control. I remember swimming...I was thinking about Wendell Newton, the sax player from The Cruisers, that he was dead. He got out. I just split.
