Oh, no, I've never even been to Europe.

Anne keeps wanting to go there.

'Cause what's, she's from France, you remember?

But we never seemed to find the time,

'cause my company keeps me kind of busy.

Let's go Trav.

What's the matter?

Where're we going?

We're gonna fly to L.A.

You are not afraid of flying, are you?

We're... leaving the ground?

Yeah.

Why?

Because it's too far to drive.

It would take extra two days.

I can't afford the time, Trav.

Why?

B- It's just easier to fly, Trav.

It's faster.

Come on.

I'll get you home, OK.

When I get you home, get you settled,

then you can do whatever you want.

Let me out, would you?

Sir, we can't stop the plane

every time somebody gets terrified.

Don't get on the plane

and then refuse to leave the ground!

Don't do things like that!

This is no wilderness.

You are out with people now.

- OK?

- You should have hired a private plane.

Do you realize how many people you're detaining?

Sorry!

I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! OK!

- OK, bye now.

- Bye now.

This is getting a little ridiculous, Travis.

Are you gonna leave me?

No, I'm not gonna leave you.

It's all right if you leave me.

I don't know, honey, no.

He just, he just panicked or something.

Well, it won't do any good to try another plane.

It wasn't the plane.

He'll just get off again.

Well,

we're just gonna have to drive it, that's all.

Yeah, it'll take to good two days.

...I don't understand why you have to have

the very same car you had before?

They are all alike.

All the cars we have here are Birds,

Olds, and Chevies, or whatever.

I am not even sure

I can locate the same car...

- you had before.

- I know, I know.

Uh, my brother left something in the car.

we hope we can search the car and find it.

Oh well, I'll just contact the

lost and found department...

- for you, if that's the case sir.

- No, no, we have to have the very same car.

Well I can't do that!

There's no way I can trace that car for you.

Why not? You got the license

number right on your form there.

- Well, yeah.

- Just give us the license number, We'll find it.

But I can't allow you on the lot, sir.

Why not? We're already on it!

I just have to ask you

to come back to the office with me.

- Travis!

- What?

I don't think we're gonna get the very same car.

But I can rent you mile

that just like the one you rent before, sir.

We need the same car, Walt.

How are we gonna go on another car?

Give us the number, will you please!

Come on, Pretty please!

All right, that number is 667-DJP.

- Remember that? 667-DJP.

- That's right.

- It's-it's got a bump on the hood.

- Yes, it does.

- What's that?

- What?
