Night on Earth Page #2

Sure, mom.

Thank you.

This is my day.

Okay. Where were we?

Oh, yes. W-Will you call them and

explain and tell them why I can't?

Great.

Listen. Were there any messages for me?

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

Carol...

did Mr. Kincade call?

You're sure?

Okay.

Okay.

Okay then. I will, um -

I'll

- I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Great. Bye-bye.

Is Mr. Kincade, like, your boyfriend?

Yes, he is.

At least I think he is.

Guys

- Can't live with 'em, can't shoot 'em.

Yeah. You can say that again.

Oh, your phone book. Here. Thanks a lot.

Sure.

Boy, it sure gets dark fast

in the winter, doesn't it?

Driving at night doesn't

seem to bother you.

Why should it?

Oh, with me it's a big

problem. I have night blindness.

Is that, like, something

that happens when you get old?

No. No. Actually, it isn't. Uh -

It has nothing to do with

age. I've had it all my life.

F***in'-A, man. That's f***ed.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

You know, it really isn't any of

my business, but you smoke too much.

Okay, mom.

You're really happy driving

this taxi, aren't you?

F*** yes.

I mean, yeah. It's a cool job.

But, I mean, is that

your whole goal in life?

Driving taxicabs?

Is there somethin' wrong with that?

No, no, no. I'm

sorry. I - I -

I really didn't mean

that the way it sounded.

Yeah, well, I'll tell you somethin'.

I don't always want to be a cabdriver.

- What do you really want to be?

- A mechanic.

A mechanic?

I practically know all

there is to know about it.

Both my brothers are mechanics.

They're older than me, but, you know,

'cause I'm, like, a girl, and I'm, like...

still kind of young and all, I gotta

kind of, like, work up to it, you know.

What about

marriage and a family?

Definitely.

Definitely want a family.

Boys though. Lots of boys.

No girls?

Girls are nice too, I think.

Yeah. Maybe some girls too.

But, you know, like, that stuff

- that's all beside the point.

The real problem is to find

a good guy for the father.

Tell me about it.

Well, I'm real particular, you know.

And I'm also patient enough.

I mean, at least I hope I am.

'Cause, you know - I don't know - maybe

you gotta wait a while, you know...

'cause, like, maybe it's not so easy to

find, like, the exact right guy, you know.

Like, the one guy, you know?

No.

- Another mechanic maybe.

- Hell, I don't care what he does.

As long as he loves me right.

With his soul.

You know, takes me for who I am.

I know what you mean.

Like Popeye says, "I am what I am."

Right?

Yes. You certainly are.

Hello? Oh, hi, Marty.

Yes. I talked to him.

Of course I know what he wants.

I've heard it a hundred times.

Oh, Marty. Go ahead. Just tell me again.
