"Can I have quarter?" he said. "What?" "Can I another 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...

Oh, it was no big deal, he was taking her to the airport. It was in New York City. It was springtime, however, in Africa. been saving up her money. She was going to go on one of outward bound trips, so he was just giving her a to the airport. And around and around the they went, through that parking garage, 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 nervous 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 until the plane took off. he ran back. But meanwhile, she was high up the city. She was down. She was down at the lights of the buildings. She was looking at the lights of the boats on the water. She was looking at the lights. You could see them the bridges, and through the little streets. tiny, diamond toward you and ruby away. You know, those little moving lights. And she knew that one of was... well you know.
Man, got to tell you about the adventures she had in Africa. I think I should with the silver bracelet, I think where it all turns around. She hadn't been on the trip long and one of the sort of took her his wing. 'Cause she was of startled easy, she was a little nervous being out there. The time she got sunburned through her hat she realized she was a way from home. She had just the group for a little while one day, she had went to take a pee, she said "I'll be right back," but she didn't come for a while. And this guide, this African man went to for her. "Laura! Laura?" He found her standing on the lowest branch of a fairly tree, way off the ground. "How you get up there?" Well, she had jumped. "Why?" Well, was a hyena, and they had told her about hyenas. They have that can crush bone. She in a real confident position anyway, and she ran, and there was the branch. She jumped - one hand slipped, one held. She was not down. "He's gone." So now she trusted him, and she swings down and both arms straight, from that branch, her feet are feet off the ground. Man, she know she could jump that high. Ah, but she now.
It was changes that that made him give her that silver bracelet. It was the one he'd always wear kind of between his elbow and his shoulder, of wrapped tight around his arm. It was a beautiful silver bracelet, and he bent it a little bit to fit around her muscle and she smiled. So so that it startled him. So much so that on the last day of that trip, when were getting back on the bus to go to the airport to go back to the big airport to go across the to go back to... you know, when they were getting back on the bus, she out the window for that last little cheesecake and as he looked the camera, he had to slowly take the camera down, and turn his head to the a little bit, look a little bit sad and say "How you get up there?"
She was over the ocean of being home again Dreaming over the Of what would 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. Maybe it was because it had winter, you see, and she had come back from summer. And she was just dressed normally. else was bundled up, but she had on her boots and her shorts and her tank top, her tied back, and a knife 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 comes rolling the old baggage claim, and suddenly this arm and this saying, "I'll get that." And she says, "Hey, that's my backpack, it. Where're you parked?" So he gave her the backpack, and she it over 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 feel the in her hair. Man, is the wild place to be. I mean, is the place, she has to lean a 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 a little farther back so she look back behind and those big tires rolling on that pavement, and then suddenly the came up and she back in, startled and sure enough Johnny's got his finger on the window. And he's at her like, "Will you get feet off the upholstery!" The upholstery, the upholstery. She forgot. How she forget? Well, she'd been in Africa. on! She her feet off the upholstery. As a matter of fact, she took her off the upholstery politely. As a matter of fact, she folded her in her lap and she settled in for 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 lights of the equalizer on the stereo reflected in the window. Maybe to watch that lone drop of water its weary way across that perfectly surface. But I it was just to enjoy this ride... ride... this ride...
