"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...
Johnny's Camaro, Johnny's Johnny loved his Camaro, maybe more than itself.
Oh, it was no big deal, he was just her to the airport. It was in New York City. It was springtime, however, in Africa. She'd saving 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, that parking 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 looking back his shoulder. "You can go if you want," she said. "No, no man, stay." And he did. He stayed the plane took off. he ran back. But meanwhile, she was up over the city. She was down. She was looking down at the of the buildings. She was looking down at the lights of the on the water. She was looking at the lights. You could see crossing the bridges, and the little canyon streets. Little tiny, toward you and ruby away. You know, those little tiny lights. And she that 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 think where it all turns around. She hadn't been on the trip long and one of the guides of took her his wing. 'Cause she was of startled easy, she was a little nervous being out there. The first time she got through her hat she realized she was a long way home. She had just left the for a little while one day, she had just to take a pee, she said "I'll be back," but she didn't come back for a while. And guide, this African man went to look for her. "Laura! Laura?" He found her standing on the lowest branch of a tall tree, way off the ground. "How you get up there?" Well, she had jumped. "Why?" Well, there was a hyena, and had told her about hyenas. They have jaws that can bone. She wasn't in a real 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 him, and she swings back down and both arms straight, from that branch, her are four feet off the ground. Man, she didn't know she could that high. Ah, but she now.
It was changes like 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 down a 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 on the bus to go to the small airport to go back to the big airport to go the ocean to go back to... you know, when they were getting on the bus, she leaned out the window for last little cheesecake snapshot and as he looked the camera, he had to slowly take the camera down, and turn his to the side a little bit, look a little bit sad and say "How you get up there?"
She was dreaming the ocean Dreaming of being again Dreaming over the Of what would be the same.
Well, he wasn't at the gate when she got the airport. He must have looking for a parking space. So she just through the airport, you know, and it wasn't before. Now the airport kind of small. The airport seemed kind of stuffy, the was a little bit low. And was getting out of her way. I know - well, actually I do know. Maybe it was because it had winter, you see, and she had just back from summer. And she was just dressed normally. Everyone else was up, but she had on her boots and her shorts and her tank top, her hair 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 rolling down the old baggage claim, and there's this arm and this saying, "I'll get that." And she says, "Hey, that's my backpack, gimme it. you parked?" So he reluctantly her the backpack, and she it over her shoulder 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 made the window go and she leaned out a bit to feel the wind in her hair. Man, this is the place to be. I mean, is the place, she has to lean a little 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 could look back and watch those big tires on that pavement, and then suddenly the window up and she comes back in, and sure Johnny's got his finger on the power window. And looking at her like, "Will you get your off the upholstery!" The upholstery, the upholstery. She forgot. How she forget? Well, she'd in Africa. Come 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 the plush upholstery brush against her cheek. Maybe to see the lights of the equalizer on the stereo reflected in the window. Maybe to that lone drop of water make its weary way across perfectly waxed surface. But I think it was just to this ride... ride... this ride...
