"Can I another quarter?" he said. "What?" "Can I have quarter?" "Why?" she said. "Uh, I it," he said. "Sure," she said, and she handed him quarter. And he reached out of the there, and dropped it in the toll basket. Up the gate, and out comes...
Johnny's Camaro, Camaro Johnny loved his Camaro, maybe than life itself.
Oh, it was no big deal, he was taking her to the airport. It was autumn in New City. It was springtime, however, in Africa. She'd been up her money. She was to go on one of these outward bound trips, so he was just giving her a to the airport. And around and around the airport went, through that garage, looking for a parking space. "There's one," she said. "No." "There's one," she said. "No." You see, it takes two parking spaces...

He's a little walking through the airport. He's always back over his shoulder. "You can go if you want," she said. "No, no man, stay." And he did. He stayed until the plane off. he ran back. But meanwhile, she was up over the city. She was down. She was looking at the lights of the buildings. She was looking down at the of the boats on the water. She was down at the lights. You see them crossing the bridges, and the little canyon streets. Little tiny, diamond you and ruby away. You know, little tiny moving lights. And she knew one of them was... well you know.
Man, I've got to tell you about the she had in Africa. I think I should start the silver bracelet, I that's where it all turns around. She been on the trip long and one of the guides sort of took her his wing. she was sort of startled easy, she was a nervous about being out there. The first time she got through her hat she realized she was a way from home. She had just left the group for a while one day, she had just to take a pee, she said "I'll be right back," but she didn't come for a while. And this guide, this man went to look for her. "Laura! Laura?" He found her standing on the lowest of a fairly tall tree, way off the ground. "How you get up there?" Well, she had jumped. "Why?" Well, there was a hyena, and they had told her hyenas. They have jaws can crush bone. She wasn't in a confident position anyway, and she just ran, and was the branch. She jumped - one slipped, one hand held. She was not down. "He's gone." So now she trusted him, and she swings down and both straight, hanging from that branch, her feet are feet off the ground. Man, she didn't know she could that high. Ah, but she now.
It was changes like that that made him give her silver bracelet. It was the one that he'd always wear kind of his elbow and his shoulder, kind of wrapped around his arm. It was a beautiful silver bracelet, and he bent it down a bit to fit around her there and she smiled. So so that it startled him. So much so that on the day of that trip, when they were getting back on the bus to go to the small to go back to the big airport to go across the to go back to... you know, when they getting back on the bus, she leaned out the window for that last little snapshot and as he through the camera, he had to slowly take the camera down, and turn his head to the side a bit, look a little bit sad and say "How you get up there?"
She was dreaming over the Dreaming of home again Dreaming the ocean Of would never be the same.
Well, he wasn't at the gate she got into the airport. He must have looking for a parking space. So she just walked the airport, you know, and it like before. Now the airport kind of small. The airport seemed kind of stuffy, the ceiling was a bit low. And everyone was out of her way. I don't - well, actually I do know. it was because it had been winter, you see, and she had come back from summer. And she was dressed normally. Everyone else was bundled up, but she had on her hiking boots and her and her tank top, her hair tied back, and a on her belt, and a big old silver bracelet, I it was the silver bracelet, but everybody was out of her way. She didn't see him 'til the backpack rolling down the old baggage claim, and suddenly there's arm and voice saying, "I'll get that." And she says, "Hey, my backpack, gimme it. Where're you parked?" So he gave her the backpack, and she swung it her shoulder and they out and carefully nestled it in the trunk.
And then, out of the parking garage and the city. And she had to out the window, she pushed the button and the window go down and she leaned out a little bit to the wind in her hair. Man, this is the place to be. I mean, is the place, she has to a little further out of the car just to just to see it all, to look up at some of the buildings. As a matter of fact, she leaned a farther back so she could look behind and those big tires rolling on that pavement, and then suddenly the came up and she back in, startled and sure enough got his finger on the power window. And he's at her like, "Will you get feet off the upholstery!" The upholstery, the upholstery. She forgot. How could she Well, been in Africa. Come on! She took her off the upholstery. As a of fact, she took her feet off the upholstery politely. As a matter of fact, she her hands in her lap and she in for this ride. I saw just a of a smile as she turned her face to one side. Maybe to feel the plush upholstery against her cheek. Maybe to see the of the graphic equalizer on the stereo in the side window. Maybe to that lone drop of water make its weary way across that waxed surface. But I think it was just to enjoy ride... ride... last ride...
