Here is an excerpt:
David promises to win his father’s respect by winning the barricade contest. He shows off his setup to his girlfriend, Janet. It’s a piston pressed against the door by a remote controlled garage door opener, along with a scale model visible through the room’s peephole that shows the reverse action. When the real door is unblocked, the model door is blocked and vice versa.
