Yes sir, I think I can,but I guess I won’t really know the full extent of it till I get up under the hood.
Run her through her paces.
What’s with the shit-eating grin?
What?
What’s so funny about my car being dead?
Oh she ain’t dead. She’s just ill.
They don’t like cursing around here.
Listen, the sign says “Jim’s Gas and Auto Repair.” You got a name tag that says Jim.
Yeah, that’s me, Jim
And this is your place?
Yes sir
So I’m counting on you to fix my car. You know what you’re doing right?
(STIFLED LAUGH)
Whats so funny?
Nothing. I’m just exultified ta be working on your car.
Exultified. Fantastic. Jim, I suppose you’re the only mechanic in this town, aren’t you?
Oh yeah, no need for two mechanics here. Town’s too small.
Where can I get a bite to eat around here?
Charlie has a diner up the road a piece.
And about how for is “a piece”?
You see up there where that sign says “arlie’s iner”?
Yeah…oh I get it. He’s got some letters missing
A “chuh” and a “duh”
Okay then, Jim. I’ll be at the diner. Call me when my car is ready.
Call you on the diner phone?
No on the cell phone! On the number I gave you.
Oh, I thought that was yer home number!
No, that’s my cell…smiling again
Smiling makes ya feel good
Okay, I’ll take your word for it. Just call me on that number when you got an idea what’s going on with my car.
I’ll take good care of her, sir.
