"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 window there, and dropped it in the basket. Up the gate, and out comes...

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. been saving up her money. She was going to go on one of these outward trips, so he was just giving her a to the airport. And around and around the airport went, through that parking garage, looking for a space. "There's one," she said. "No." "There's one," she said. "No." You see, actually it two parking spaces...

a little nervous walking through the airport. He's always looking back his shoulder. "You can go if you want," she said. "No, no man, stay." And he did. He stayed until the took off. he ran back. But meanwhile, she was up over the city. She was down. She was down at the lights of the buildings. She was looking down at the 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 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 with the bracelet, I think that's where it all around. She hadn't been on the trip long and one of the sort of her under his wing. 'Cause she was 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 went to a pee, she said "I'll be back," but she didn't come back for a while. And this guide, this man went to look for her. "Laura! Laura?" He found her on the lowest branch 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 in a real confident position anyway, and she just ran, and 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 back and both arms straight, from that branch, her are four feet off the ground. Man, she didn't know she could jump high. Ah, but she now.
It was changes like that that him give her that silver bracelet. It was the one that he'd 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 much so it startled him. So much so that on the last day of that trip, when they getting back on the bus to go to the small airport to go back to the big to go across the ocean to go to... you know, when they were back on the bus, she leaned 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 side a little bit, a little bit sad and say "How you get up there?"
She was dreaming the ocean Dreaming of home again Dreaming over the Of would never be the same.
Well, he wasn't at the gate she got into the airport. He must been looking for a parking space. So she just through the airport, you know, and it wasn't before. Now the airport seemed of small. The seemed kind of stuffy, the ceiling was a little bit low. And was getting out of her way. I know - well, actually I do know. it was because it had been winter, you see, and she had just back from summer. And she was just normally. Everyone else was bundled up, but she had on her hiking and her shorts and her tank top, her hair tied back, and a knife on her belt, and a big old bracelet, I think it was the bracelet, but everybody was out of her way. She didn't see him 'til the backpack rolling down the old baggage claim, and suddenly this 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 over her and went out and carefully nestled it in the trunk.
And then, out of the parking and into the city. And she had to out the window, she pushed the button and the window go down and she leaned out a bit to feel the wind in her hair. Man, this is the wild to be. I mean, is the place, she has to lean a further out of the car just to just to see it all, just to look up at of the buildings. As a matter of fact, she a little farther back so she could look behind and watch big tires rolling on that pavement, and then the window came up and she comes in, startled and sure Johnny's 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, 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 of fact, she folded her hands in her lap and she settled in for ride. I saw a glint of a smile as she turned her face to one side. Maybe to feel the upholstery brush 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 it was just to enjoy this ride... ride... this ride...
