<p>“Christ, of course grab the drawer first.” A pause, then a high laugh. “Fine, ya big dummy. I’ll get the drawer, you grab our snacks or whatever. Oh, shit, yeah, grab me like a whole box of Snickers or whatever. I’ll mow through those.”</p>

<p>And you hear drawer and your drawers are down around your ankles and you cuss and cuss and cuss and maybe start crying, but at this point it’s just too late, so you keep sitting your skinny ass down on the toilet until you hear the rev of an engine, the thrum of something with a couple hundred thousand miles on it, maybe got fifty more in it, and then you hear it fade into the dark, and only then do you call.</p>

Six thousand dollars <em>and</em> a box of Snickers!”</p>
