"Can I have 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 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. She'd saving up her money. She was to go on one of these outward bound trips, so he was just her a ride 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 little nervous through the airport. always looking 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 down at the of the buildings. She was looking at the lights of the boats on the water. She was looking at the lights. You see them crossing the bridges, and through the little streets. tiny, diamond toward 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 I should start with the silver bracelet, I think that's it all turns around. She hadn't been on the trip long and one of the guides of her under his wing. 'Cause she was of startled easy, she was a little nervous about out there. The time she got sunburned through her hat she realized she was a way from home. She had left the group for a little while one day, she had just to take a pee, she "I'll be right back," but she didn't come back for a while. And this guide, this African man went to for her. "Laura! Laura?" He her standing 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 her about hyenas. They have that can crush bone. She wasn't in a confident position anyway, and she just ran, and was the branch. She - one hand slipped, one hand held. She was not down. "He's gone." So now she trusted him, and she back down and both straight, hanging from that branch, her feet are four 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 that 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 little bit to fit her there and she smiled. So much so that it him. So much so that on the last day of that trip, when they were back on the bus to go to the small airport to go to the big airport to go across the ocean to go to... you know, when they getting back on the bus, she leaned out the window for that last little cheesecake and as he looked through the camera, he had to take the camera down, and his head to the side a little bit, look a little bit sad and say "How you get up there?"
She was over the ocean Dreaming of being home Dreaming the ocean Of what would be the same.
Well, he wasn't at the gate when she got the airport. He must have been 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 everyone was out of her way. I don't know - well, I do know. Maybe it was because it had winter, you see, and she had just back from summer. And she was dressed normally. Everyone else was bundled up, but she had on her hiking boots and her shorts and her top, her hair tied back, and a on her belt, and a big old silver bracelet, I it was the silver bracelet, but was getting out of her way. She see him 'til the backpack comes 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 went out and 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 made the go down and she leaned out a little bit to 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 up at some of the buildings. As a matter of fact, she leaned a little back so she could look behind and watch big tires rolling on that pavement, and suddenly the window came up and she back in, startled and sure enough 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 could she Well, been 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 in for this ride. I saw just a glint of a smile as she her face to one side. Maybe to feel the plush brush against her cheek. Maybe to see the lights of the graphic equalizer on the in the side window. Maybe to watch that lone drop of water make its weary way that waxed surface. But I think it was just to enjoy ride... ride... this ride...
