Post by bunniefuu »

Blabbermouth,
got your ears on, good buddy?

'This is Bonnie bear.'

'Come in, blabbermouth.'

'Bonnie bear needs
a little chatter.'

Bonnie bear,
this is blabbermouth.

Come on in.

Knew you wouldn't
let me down, good buddy.

Need a little chit-chat
to wake me up.

How's Tricks?

Five squared, Bonnie bear.

Y-You headed
for Hearth and Home?

'You got it.'

Been in Bakersfield in court
since 8 o'clock this morning

and I caught a cold.

'Maybe I should have
stayed up there'

but I think I can
make it home.

You're talking
to one wiped-out bear.

I-I see you in
the alley, B-Bonnie bear.

'Flip them on
f-for me, please.'

Thanks, B-Bonnie bear.

Hey, what's friends
for, huh?

I-I guess.

[Bonnie]
'Sure glad you had
your ears on, good buddy.'

'You brought me
back to life.'

Bonnie bear, clear.

10-4.
B-Blabbermouth, clear.

[tires screeching]

[crashing]

B-B-B..

...b-b..

M-M-Mom! Come quick!

I-I need you! Mom!

Corey, what is it?
What's wrong?

I-It's...Bonnie!

Okay, Corey.
You're excited.

Alright,
you know what to do.

Calm down, think a word
and wait for it.

It'll come.

A-Accident!

Just happened!

Highway..

...pat-patrol car!

N-Need help!

B-B..

...Bonnie!

[female #1]
'Any unit in the vicinity
of Livermore canyon'

'we have a citizen's report
of an 11-83 on route 21'

'Two miles east
of the canyon.'

'Units responding, identify.'

LA 15-7 Mary 3 and 4
in Partridge canyon.

Will handle. 5 away.

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

[music continues]

[music continues]

I don't see
any accident.

Dispatch said
citizen's report.

I don't even
see a citizen.

Yeah, there it is.

It's one of ours.
I'll call it in.

LA 50, Mary 3 and 4.

10-97, there's a TC
on route 21.

It's a one-car rollover,
unit 7 Charles.

Officer injured. Two miles
east of Livermore canyon.

Roll an ambulance.

She okay?

I don't know. I'm going
to try to release her.

- You call an ambulance?
- Yeah.

'There's an ambulance
on the way and paramedics.'

Well, where are they?

Be cool, man.
They'll be here.

She's going to be
alright. Come on.

Let's go. Come on.

How did this
thing happen?

How the heck
did it happen?

You made
good time, Perk.

Well, that's what you
asked for, wasn't it?

- Any trouble?
- Yeah.

I picked up a citation
on the way out.

Would you believe it,
the same girl cop

that got me twice before?

She's getting
on my nerves.

She says here, she clocked you
at 74 miles an hour.

How fast were you going?

74.

Alright. I'll pay the fine.

And my bonus?

Be in your next paycheck.

Only way to make money
in this business

is to make time on the road

in spite of the 55 speed limit.

The bonus is nothing
in comparison.

Thanks, Mr. Larkin.

Hey, get some sleep.

I got you down for another
run in 12 hours.

I'll take it. Uh, my logbook
is in the cab.

- Hey, Grossi.
- Mm-hmm?

Have you seen Getraer?

Well, he's down the hall.

Ponch, please.
I got it all laid out.

What's this all about?

Oh, let me guess,
let me guess, uh..

You're starting a new
filing system, huh, Grossi?

[laughing]

- Very funny, but highly wrong.
- Of course, Ponch.

I mean, Grossi's gonna
write an expose on us

and tell the world our
shirt size and stuff.

Uh-huh. Well, I should
have thought of that.

Alright, if you must know..

...I'm doing some research
for another article I'm writing

for the "Highway Patrol"
magazine.

Hmm. What's it on
this time, huh, Grossi?

If I tell you,
will you keep it quiet?

Someone else hears
what I'm doing

they might steal my idea.

Alright.

Alright,
you got our word.

"Driver fatigue as a cause
of highway accidents."

That it?

Yeah, that's it.

It's been done before.

Not the way I'm doing it.

I'm correlating all the facts.

All the accidents we've had
over the past six months

where drivers have fallen
asleep at the wheel

or just blacked out
or, or frozen at the controls

in, like, a hypnotic trance.

Sounds great.

Then, I'm gonna consult

with a professor of psychology
at the university..

Hey, I was looking
for you two.

- You ready?
- Where're you goin'?

We're going over to the hospital
to have a chat with Bonnie.

You want to come?

Oh, I'd love to

but, uh, when one
has committed oneself..

Yeah, well, uh,
she'll understand.

Tell her
I'll drop by later.

Right.

Drop by to see Bonnie
at the hospital later.

Excuse me.

You must be
with Officer Bonnie Clark.

- Yes.
- I'm Mrs. Marshall.

Your Officer Turner
came by the other day

and I, I spoke with him.

Oh, yes, of course.

I'm Sergeant Getraer.
This is Officer Poncherello.

Mrs. Marshall's the one who
phoned in Bonnie's accident.

Oh, yes, thank you.
We're very grateful.

This is my son, Corey.

They told us that she couldn't
have any visitors yet

but Corey wanted her
to have these flowers.

'They said if we
could find her nurse'

'we could give
them to her.'

You can go in now.

Oh, thank you.

Well, uh, look, we have
to go in and see Bonnie

and talk to her
about the accident.

Maybe I could take
those flowers in for you.

Tell her they're
from blabbermouth

her CB pal.

Okay, blabbermouth.

That's really
nice of you both.

How is she?

She's lucky. She didn't hit the
truck. She just rolled the car.

She might have been
k*lled, though

but she had her
seat belts fastened

and that's
what saved her.

The truck?

She said it blocked the road.

'We need more details,
but we'll find them.'

And don't worry.
Bonnie's gonna be just fine.

Thank you.
We're very glad.

Alright.

You know what
I'm in for?

- What?
- Observation.

My unbroken bones are being
observed by an expert.

Exactly, well, your,
uh, unbroken head-bone

did have us
a little worried.

I thought Jon was coming.

He's down the hall
with your doctor.

They're trying to get a
diagnosis on your lucky streak.

Bonnie, uh..

...can you remember
any better now?

I mean, can you give us
the license number or--

Logo, no license number.

But on the rear door
of the trailer

there were..

...company logo, big..

...b*rned
into my unbroken head bone.

"Trans-Allied."

"Trans-Allied trucking?"

Yeah. You know
that shimmery logo?

Do you remember
anything else?

Yeah, the truck
that was...blocking the road..

...was, like..

...it knew I was there..

'...like it..'

...wanted me to hit it.

Gentlemen, it's time
for Miss Clark

to have her
beauty sleep, hmm?

See you
tomorrow, bonbon.

Thanks for the flowers.

Oh, uh, the plant's
from us.

The flowers are from,
uh, blabbermouth. You remember?

Uh-huh.

She'll remember
tomorrow.

Thank you.

Better find Jon,
tell him she's gone to sleep.

Well, I want you two to check
out "Trans-Allied trucking"

first thing
in the morning, alright?

You know it.

Listen.

Calm down.

We don't know that this
was intentional.

We don't know
what happened.

If you can't
handle this calmly

I'll send
somebody else.

We'll handle
it...calmly.

If I'm late,
blame Grossman.

He call you
last night?

About that article.
Bent my ear for an hour.

"Fatigue as a cause
of accidents."

Ha! I think he's trying to set
us up as a guinea pig.

LA 15 Mary 3 and 4.

We're in service
at Crescent and 30th.

We're gonna be en route
to "Trans-Allied trucking"

at 10-29, notify Getraer.

[female #1]
'15 Mary 3 and 4, LA'

'We have a traffic hazard
Fourth and Crescent.'

'An army t*nk.
Can you handle?'

LA, did you say
"Army t*nk?"

[female #1]
'That's a roger, Mary 3.'

10-4, LA.

[engine revving]

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

It's alright.
We got it outnumbered.

Okay, clear
the intersection!

Alright, folks, come on.
Let's move out.

Hey, we're all
blocked up here.

I mean, this thing
stopped and won't move.

Come on, sir.
Just keep moving.

Come on, folks,
move it.

Tanks in the street now.
World w*r III already, huh?

Just back off,
mister. Alright?

Yeah, yeah.

What do you think, some
paramilitary nuts, huh?

Maybe.

Whatever it is,
it's combat-ready.

You hit the cop!

Alright, alright,
what was that?

Molotov cocktail.

Who threw it?

He retreated.

Okay, buster, you're
a prisoner of w*r. Come on.

[jeering]

[male #1]
'Ow, ow! I'm here,
okay, that's enough!'

What are you trying
to do, deafen me?

You know what that sounds like
in there, that banging?

Oh, that echo.

Do you have
an explanation for this?

Well, it stalled,
and I can't get it started

and all those people
were getting so frenzied

so, I just got back inside
so I wouldn't get hurt.

You okay?

Yeah. Just
a little splattered.

Got some registration
and identification?

I got this permit
to move the t*nk.

What is this, this
the way to get even

with the freeway traffic,
huh?

No, no. I'm on my way
to show it at the Colosseum.

It's their annual
funny-car show.

Alright, Jon, listen.
I'll handle this.

You go on
to the trucking company.

Yeah, as soon as
I get a clean shirt.

Are you gonna
to run me in?

Why don't you make
your escape?

I'll put my partner
in for a purple heart.

[cheering]

Hallucination.
What a great angle.

Highway hallucination.

Man, this will really
make my article.

Hallucinations
cause accidents?

As a result
of fatigue.

Drivers seeing strange
things in the road.

Naked ladies..

...army tanks.

This guy really thought
he saw an army t*nk?

Oh, yeah. Right in the middle
of the intersection.

World w*r II,
"Sherman" t*nk.

Wow! This is perfect.

Just what
the article needs.

On-the-spot,
firsthand facts.

Yeah, several kids were
throwing things at it, too.

Wait a minute.

You're telling me other people
saw this thing, too?

Oh, yeah.
Several kids.

Wow! Mass hallucination.

Jon..

...this could
be historic.

Then, I climbed up
on it, see?

You climbed up
on it.

- You what?
- Climbed up on it.

The kids were throwing
molotov cocktails.

Hit the t*nk, splattered,
went all over my shirt.

You're putting me on.
There was no t*nk.

Well, no, Grossie, see,
there was a t*nk.

Ponch took a polaroid
picture of me.

I was standing
on the turret.

Jon..

...this is real.

- Oh, yeah.
- It's no help at all.

Well, look, Grossie, if I ever
see a t*nk that isn't there

you'll be the first
to know, alright?

Hey, I can take a joke,
okay, even if it isn't funny

and I'm telling you
something.

Highway hallucination
is a great angle.

It's just what
my article needs.

Uh, only too glad
to help, Grossie.

I'm telling you,
none of my trucks

went through Dynamite Alley
at that time yesterday.

None.

I'd like to question
some of your drivers.

Be my guest, but most of them
are on the road right now.

If you'd make up a list of the
drivers who were out yesterday

I'd appreciate it.

Alright. It's a lot of work,
and it's going to take time

and all it's going to prove
is what I've told you.

My drivers are clean.

I'll come back.

Perk.

Yeah, thanks.

You were on
Dynamite Alley yesterday.

Did you see
a CHP Cruiser?

I did the day before,
when I got the ticket.

Yesterday, no. The road
was clear as spring water.

He's got to be lying!

Look, I can't swear that he
intended to run me off the road

but he saw that
I went off the road!

And it was a "Trans-Allied"
truck. I saw the logo.

Listen, we'll find the guy,
and maybe we'll find a witness.

Look, Bonnie, uh,
maybe you'll recall

'some other identifying mark
on the truck, huh?'

Wait a minute, witness.

Did you talk to Corey Marshall?

Yeah. She called it in.

No. Her son, blabbermouth.

He's got a CB. I was talking
to him just before the accident.

Why didn't I think of it
when he brought me the flowers?

You were sedated.
They wouldn't let him in.

Yeah, Bonnie, and he
didn't say a word.

Was his mother
talking for him?

It's protective.
He's got a stuttering problem.

Alright,
you relax.

We'll take it
from here.

Jon, Ponch.

Be gentle, okay?
I mean, he's a pal of mine.

'Alright?'

Good-looking rig
you got here, Corey.

Built-in scanner
and everything.

I-I can pick up
all different channels

but my favorite
is the highway patrol.

Alright. Let's try
to get someone in..

Look, uh, did he give you
any details on what he saw?

No. Pressure and excitement
intensify his problem.

He just gave me the essentials
and I went to the phone.

He was afraid he wouldn't
be able to say it.

Well, he's
a hero to us.

Look, if it
wasn't for him

who knows how long
it would have been

before somebody
found Bonnie.

Would you like
some coffee?

Yeah, I'd love it.

Uh, i-is..

..Bonnie okay, today?

Oh, yes.
Much better.

She really dug
the flowers.

Thanks to you, she's going
to be back on duty, real soon.

And every time
she passes down here

she'll be flashing
her lights.

That's good.

Corey, whoever caused
Bonnie's accident

should have tried
to help her.

Only her seat belt
saved her life.

'We want to ask him
why he didn't stop.'

If you can tell me exactly

exactly what you saw, it might
help us find him, okay?

I...I saw what..

...Bonnie said.

'You saw the truck?'

Well, what kind of truck?

Can you describe it?

A big..

...truck..

...blocking..

...t-the road.

Alright. Do you remember
any signs on the truck?

Any lettering? What color?

'Do you remember?'

Thank you.

Do you remember
the color?

M-Metal color.

[honking]

Don't worry.
We've got plenty of time.

Look, these tickets
cost too much

for me to be
late to the game.

[honking]

[screaming]

Are you alright?
You both okay?

Man reports a car going
backwards. He almost hit it.

Stop it before
someone's k*lled!

Alright, we'll take
care of it.

Take off.
I'll call it in.

Hey, this thing
has two front ends.

Yeah. Going for the big one
at the funny-car show.

Neat, huh?

Would you mind stepping out
of the other side of the car?

You have a little problem.

[knocking]

Yes.

Hey, you up
for a visitor?

Sure, sarge. Hi.

Corey!

Hi, Corey!

Blabbermouth!
How are you?

I'm so glad
to see you.

You're really
okay, huh?

Super, because you called
the ouch wagon for me.

My mom did that.

Mr. Modesty.

I know you were watching me
and saw what happened.

I'm so glad you did.

M-Maybe you could
come and visit me?

Well, I guess I couldn't
turn down a date

with the guy
who saved my life.

[laughing]

That's great.

Did you tell Ponch and Jon
and the sarge about the truck?

Ponch..

...s-some.

Did you see any
license numbers or..

...or anything that would
help them find it?

N-N-No numbers.

Well, it was probably the angle
or something out of the window.

[Bonnie]
'That's okay.
Tell me how you been.'

'How you doing? Okay?'

- 'Yeah.'
- 'What have you been doing?'

What's the matter?

I'm not sure.

This stuttering..

...Corey's
always had it.

It's slowly getting
better, though..

...and the CB radio's
just a therapy item.

Helps him talk, helps him
to get out of himself.

So...what's
bothering you?

His mother said that pressure
makes his stuttering worse.

It gets worse every time
he talks about the truck.

Well, could just be the shock
of seeing the accident.

Could be, yeah.

Why? You think
it's something else?

To tell you the truth,
I'm not sure.

Look, uh, I know we all
get a lot of laughs

out of Grossman's
magazine articles, but, uh..

...the fact is,
driver fatigue is a problem

and we don't know enough
about highway hallucinations

so, uh..

...if you can please help him
out on this one, do, okay?

Hey, thanks a lot, Harlan.

That's really just what
I needed, statistics.

Glad to help you,
Grossie. Anything else?

No. That's fine.

Hey, Grossie,
I got one for you.

A guy sees a car going
both ways on the freeway.

Both ways. Sure.

No, a fact.
Baricza talked to him.

The guy who saw
the two-way car?

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Two-way car.

Hallucination or, uh..

...another
army-t*nk joke?

No, Grossie. A real car,
two front ends.

Factory construction?

Well, as opposed
to homemade, yeah.

For the funny-car show,
at the Coliseum.

Oh, yeah.

The annual event
for the most unusual road car.

It's a foolish
waste of money.

People lose all sense
of perspective.

Listen, I have
the records of a guy

whose mortgage
was foreclosed.

He thought he saw
a house in the road.

And a lady who,
who's afraid of cats.

She thought
she saw a tiger.

Yeah, okay, Grossie.
Lighten up, alright?

Hey, you think I write for the
money and the glory, don't you?

Okay, you're partly right,
I admit that.

But when I write,
I believe.

Some drivers
do hallucinate

when they've been
at the wheel too long.

Sure. So, I see
my name in print.

I may also
save a life.

Hey, look, I was
out of line, okay?

I shouldn't have
kidded you.

No, kid me...so I'll
know who I am

but help me...if
you can.

You got it, pal.

Buy you
a cup of coffee?

I think I need it.

Two-way car, huh?

Thing of beauty, Grossie.
Thing of beauty.

What is it,
Bonnie's accident?

Yeah.

I don't like to think
of anyone trying to hurt her.

Well, look, uh, that trucking
company's supposed

to prepare a list
of drivers.

I think I'll go over
there and see

if they're ready,
alright?

Every truck, every driver,
routes and schedules.

For the past week
and the next week.

Can you verify this?

Any way you see fit. I told you,
my drivers are clean.

That's righteous. Sure,
they break the speed limit.

They have to,
or I go broke.

If they hurt anybody doing it,
they'll answer to me

before you ever get
your hands on them.

Oh, come on.

I know nothing
about your accident.

Why don't you try to find us
innocent instead of guilty?

Look, Mr. Larkin, we're just
trying to find out the truth.

Now, you said you didn't
have a truck in the alley

at the day of the accident,
yet, you have a driver here

by the name of Perkins,
has a load from Bakersfield.

Right day, wrong time.

I'm Perkins.

You were in the alley?

Not when
the accident happened.

Did you see a CHP cruiser
along the way?

So, what if
he saw a cruiser?

Mr. Larkin,
he can look me up.

Remember, I'm the guy

who helps fill their
ticket quotas every week.

Been having some trouble,
Mr. Perkins?

[Perkins]
'Hey, I got a terrific life'

and a great
collection of citations.

Lights, brakes,
load weights.

You name it.

Alright, Perk.
Go back to work.

Hey, wait just a minute.

Look, now, did you
come through that alley

before or after
the accident?

After. I seen Caltrans
cleaning it up.

How did you know what
they were cleaning up?

I didn't.

I read it
in the papers.

Alright. Thank you.

I'll be seeing you,
Mr. Larkin.

Perk.

You're leveling with me,
aren't you?

It surprises me
that you would ask.

Hi. How's Bonnie?

They'll let her go home
tomorrow. What did you find out?

Uh, "Trans-Allied" truck driver

AY Perkins.

Seven citations,
the last twelve months.

Five in Dynamite Alley.
There's a motive here, Jon.

Bonnie did see
that "Trans-Allied" logo

on the back of the truck.

I mean, she's a good cop.

I know she saw, what she saw.

Listen, think about what
Grossman is doing.

Could the truck
have been an hallucination?

Hallucination?

Yeah. Bonnie was up
at 4:00 that morning

so she could be
in Bakersfield by 7:00.

She spent the whole day
in court she caught a cold

and then, instead
of just staying there

she, uh, drove home.

She was tired,
so she says herself.

Driver fatigue. Classic
pre-requisite conditions.

Do two people see
the same hallucination?

Only if it's an army t*nk.

But no, not really.

Ok, what about blabbermouth

Corey Marshall,
he saw the truck.

You just hung a black cloud
over tomorrow, pal.

Either we pin
this thing on Perkins

or we're going to hurt
a couple friends.

Hey, Ponch, is there
anything I can do to help?

Yeah, Grossie.

You can finish the article.

You may hit close to home.

- What's up?
- Not much.

Got a flying saucer here.
Where's your partner?

He went
to "Trans-Allied--"

[female #1]
'Attention, all units.'

'Report of an airplane down,
northbound, 405 at Chadwick.'

'Units responding, identify.'

It's just up ahead.

LA 15..

[instrumental music]

If you ever hear me say
I've seen everything

remind me of this,
alright?

Yeah.

LA 15-7 Adam
and Mary 4, 10-97

to TC on the 405.

It's not-repeat-not
an airplane down.

'There is a spill, though,
of wrecked cars. No fatalities.'

Oh, hi, I, uh,
blew a tire

and my jack
won't work on a DC-3.

'You see, I was
headed downtown.'

Yeah, I know.
The coliseum?

Funniest road-car show
in the world.

Yeah. Hey, you ought
to see that show.

Right now, I'd like
to see your controls, okay?

So, that's 7-H-9-4.

Hey, Baricza.

Coffee, tea, or me?

[laughing]

Perkins, officer wants
to talk to you.

Look, according
to our records

you drivers seem to ignore
the speed limit.

I explained about that.

No, Mr. Larkin.
You were complaining.

See, some truckers complain
while they're obeying it.

Now, however this accident turns
out, if you don't start obeying

you're going to speed
right out of business.

What's the problem, officer?

Five citations,
three moving-violations.

One, the day
before the accident.

All signed by, uh,
Officer Bonnie Clark.

So?

What?

You think I ran her
off the road?

I'm saying you better
establish the exact time

that you passed that spot.

You're accusing him.

No, I'm not. We don't
want to falsely accuse.

Well, I'll tell you something.

We'll both be here when
you come back to apologize.

No, Mr. Larkin, see,
we're looking for the truth.

We don't apologize for that.

'What about these logos?
They on all your trucks?'

On the cabs, yeah.

What about the trailers?

We haul any trailer
that's loaded.

I don't own trailers,
just the trucks.

On the day of the accident

the trailer you were hauling
had "Trans-Allied" logo

on the rear doors.

There ain't
no such thing.

This is the trailer
I was hauling

and it belongs
to Norax Shipping.

Alright.
I get your point.

And I got your point.

Bonnie, I know you've been
all through this before

but I want you to--

I know what I saw.

Let me get into this
with her, okay?

Sure.

Bonnie, you have keen powers
of observation and recall.

What you saw was real, right?

Right.

Okay. Now, we have a reality.

Now, let's try to figure out

what kind of
reality it was, where it is.

You're on your
hallucination kick again.

Hallucinating. If you
were hallucinating..

...it's, its own kind
of reality.

Look, Bonnie,
you're well-rested now.

Let's try to dig in to your
memory, okay, one more time?

Look, I pushed it too far.

I got too tired.
I guess that's my fault.

But there was nothing
wrong with my reactions

otherwise, I would have
hit the truck.

Why do I have to go
through this again?

I'll send in your picture
with my article.

Okay.

We got a conviction
in Bakersfield

so, when I left,
I was feeling terrific

not tired at all.

Hey, pal.

Listen, Bonnie's got us a little
confused about that truck.

Now, if he forced her
off the road

we think we have the guy
and we'll lock him up

for hit-and-run.

It's a pretty heavy trip,
so, if he didn't force her--

S-S-She's in t-trouble?

Bonnie, no. Not Bonnie,
not at all.

But the driver, yeah.

I mean, depending
on what really happened.

Y-Y-You say..

...B-Bonnie lied?

Hey, Corey, she was
knocked unconscious.

Bonnie would never lie, but her
memory might not work right.

We want to get her some help.

We know you saw it,
we know you saved her life

so, we figure, you're our man.

Talking to Corey
sort of woke me up.

He asked me to flip on
the reds, so, I did.

[door closing]

I usually do when I pass.

We both signed off..

[instrumental music]

I guess my eyes left
the road for a second

when I turned off the lights
and secured the microphone.

I could have sworn,
just a second before..

...the road was clear.

I still don't know how
it happened so quickly.

Bonnie...maybe it didn't.

Yes, it did.

It did!

I did hit the truck.

I went right into it.

Bonnie, listen,
"Trans-Allied trucking"

doesn't have one truck with that
logo on the rear doors.

Jon, I saw it!

Bonnie, you ticketed
"Trans-Allied" three times

in the last month.

It was in your
sub-conscious.

Blabbermouth?

Didn't you see a truck?

I..

I-I-I..

...heard..

...t-them..

...talk..

...a..

...bout..

...t-the truck.

I..

I'm..

...the o-only witness.

'I-I..'

'I..'

'...thought..'

...i-if you s-s-said..

...there was a truck..

...y-you n-n-needed

s-someone...t-to
back you up.

Then, there was no truck?

I just imagined it?

I-I..

I have...to say it..

...or s-some guy
will get in trouble

for h-hit-and-run.

I'm sorry, Bonnie bear.

Oh, no, Corey.

Don't be sorry.

No. My friend,
blabbermouth.

I knew you
wouldn't lie.

I'm sorry I did.

There's an
ancient saying

"Greater love
hath no man."

I think you'll
be forgiven.

Okay?

Oh!

[Bonnie]
'Oh.'

'It's okay.'

'I think you're okay.'

It's okay.

Hey, uh, how's
your article going?

Oh, it's almost finished.

Oh, how are you
treating Bonnie in there?

That's what I have
to finish.

You know, every
human being has its limit.

Fatigue is no respecter
of badges or uniforms.

I was gonna say
something like that.

And, you know, you might
mention that our supervisor

is cracking down
on overtime here.

Okay. I'll make
a note.

Maybe we can get this article
into general publication

help convince some of those
gung-ho drivers out there

to use the rest stops.

Okay.

Well, write, man.

Write!

[laughing]

Ah! Am I
hallucinating again?

I don't think so.
I see it, too.

Come on.

What is this?

Check this out.

What is it?

Whose is it?

Mine.

[Poncherello]
'Yours?'

You're the guy that said
funny cars were silly.

Yeah. A foolish
waste of money.

Out of all perspective.

I was talking
about factory jobs.

This is handmade.

Hand-done personally
by me alone.

You mean, you're gonna
enter this in the show?

I did. The show
was last night.

The HPMT won
the practicality award.

- HPMT?
- Practicality?

Yeah. This is the "Harlan
Primary Motorcycle Trainer."

[laughing]

110 miles an hour,
80 miles to the gallon.

You see, the instructor
sits here in the cockpit.

The student sits on the
motorcycle division here, okay?

Now, the instructor controls
the machine and the student

gets the feel of motorcycle
riding without the dangers.

Now, the instructor has a button
here on the steering wheel

by means of which he can
tilt the motorcycle.

I achieved
that with airplane trim-tabs.

[whistling]

And..

...the prize was $200.

Drinks are on me!

- Whoo-hoo!
- Alright!
