Excerpts from “Across The USA In A Red Suburu, 1986”

JT : (getting out car)- If you only knew what we were looking at right now.
A little propane beater and a budget fly. I don’t know what that means
but there’s a lot of dead vehicles out here. And it looks like San ‘Berdino or something. It’s weird. Indians and people. Um um.

JT singing : Show me ‘round your fruitcakes!

ND : Show me ‘round your fruitcakes!

LT : It’s on the right lane one…

JT : I feel like an incubus.(laughs)

ND: What’s this called - this road?

JT / ND (laughs)

JT :’Scuse me sir… Hi.

Pedestrian : What’s up?

JT : What is this building?

Pedestrian : Here?

JT : Yeah, what is it?

Pedestrian : Football stadium.

JT : Oh, ok.

ND : Oh, it’s a football stadium.

ND : No man. It’s not you anymore. She just knows. She realizes there’s no place she

JT : Take, take your jacket off.

ND : She’s steaming with anger

JT : Take your coat off.

ND : She’s teaming with madness.

JT : I’m hot.
