sure you will find.

Tell you what ... I'll see you.

No, do not try to stop me.

Just wait for me.

Train? Train, plane, bus,

magic carpet, I'll be there ....

Although it must ... crawl.

And then ...

... We'll get married immediately.

Great. That's what

I wanted to hear.

Right.

Bye for now.

See you soon.

Yes.

Goodbye.

The only way to cross

the country was a finger. / i

I only had enough money

to eat. / i

Money? You know how it is. / I

never have enough

of those little things green ... / i

... with a picture of

George Washington ... / i

... why the man

is enslaved ... / i

... commit crimes,

and even die. / i

is the thing that caused

more problems in the world ... / i

... than any other

ever invented. / i

simply because

there is very little of it. / i

At least, I had very little. / i

So I got used

to use my thumb. / i

Have you ever done finger / i

It's not fun, believe me. / i

I know can be learned

much so. / i

know a lot of people

and all that. But I ... / i

... from now on, I will educate

in schools, universities ... / i

... or send $ 1.98 and seals

to "learn in ten lessons." / i

Doing this can save

in passages, but it is dangerous. / i

never know what awaits

when listening to a ... / i

... the squeal of brakes. / i

If only I had known what

I expected that day in Arizona. / i

Let the

back seat.

Come on. Make sure

the door is closed.

You know, should write ... / i

... a rule book

types that make finger. / i

Because now it is not known

what is right or wrong. / i

We walked a while and

neither said anything. / i

I liked that. / i

never know what to talk

with unknown drivers. / i

is not known whether the

driver to talk to. / i

Many trips have been short

as one a loudmouth. / i

So I kept quiet

until he began to speak. / i

Can you reach me that box

of the glove, friend?

Hold the steering wheel.

- How far you going?

-A Los Angeles.

That's a long trip right?

Yes, I hope I make it

by a couple of years ...

I spent a lot of ... travel.

-Without much luck, huh?

That's right. All evil.

Not many people to stop.

Fear of assault, perhaps.

Do not blame them.

- Where are you from?

-New York.

Oh, New York?!

This time you get lucky,

I'm also going there.

Direct to Los Angeles.

Tell me, do you drive?

Sure, when tired,

tell me.

I will.

must have spent an hour

before notice ... / i

... those deep scratches

on his right hand. / i

were horrible. / i

Three bulging red lines,

nearly half a centimeter. / i

must have seen me looking at them ...

because I said ... / i

Nice, huh?

Someday heal.

Go animal!

It had to be very large

and furious, to do that.
