kind of rig he drove?

- I didn't say he

was driving a rig.

- [Truck driver]

No, no, no, I mean--

- How did you know my

husband was an accountant?

- Just a guess.

- How far away is

this roadhouse?

- It's not far.

- Good.

(western music)

- [Radio] We have an accident

here, we're clearing the road.

Would you please pull over?

- Where are we going?

- Shortcut.

(engine rumbling)

Wait a minute, I've got it,

the hoochie coochie doll.

- It's mineral, not animal.

Oh, I don't know, I've guessed

about everything in the truck

- You never said it

had to be in the truck.

- Well, that's ridiculous.

It could be a thousand

things outside the truck.

- You're the one who

wanted to play games.

Give up?

- Yeah, guess so.

- It's ya boots.

' My boots?

- Leather is an animal product.

- Uh uh, my boots are

imitation leather.

They're vinyl, a

thermal plastic radical.

- La di da.

- Which makes them either

mineral or vegetable,

but they're

certainly not animal.

So, I win, right?

- But you gave up!

- Okay, okay, okay.

Hey, it's my turn.

- Okay-

- Animal.

- That fly there.

- Now, look, if you're not

gonna play the game properly

I don't wanna play at all.

- Well, it's not the fly?

- Yes, it is the fly, but

you're taking all the fun

out of it, you've gotta

ask the questions,

you gotta narrow it

down more logically.

- Okay, this time I've

got a real good one.

- No, I've had enough.

- Oh, come on, it's really easy,

and it's not even

animal product.

It's just plain,

ordinary animal.

- Okay, but no tricks.

- I'll give you a clue.

It's bigger than a bread box.

" Me?

NO.

- Boswell?

NO.

- Well, it's gotta be you.

- Wrong.

- Lady, if there is an

animal bigger than a breadbox

inside this truck, you

better tell me about it.

- I never said it

was inside the truck.

- The pigs?

NO.

' [Quid] Kangaroo?

NO.

- An emu?

- [Madeline] No.

- Well, the Nullarbor nymph?

Lawrence of A friggin' rabia,

I don't know, this is crazy.

- [Madeline] You give up?

- [Quid] Yeah, I guess so.

- [Madeline] It's

that man back there.

- I didn't see any

man back there.

Course you didn't,

you were too busy arguing

but there was a man back

there standing beside a dark

green van and he

was digging a hole.

(brakes screech)

- What the hell is he doing?

- I told you, digging a hole.

What's wrong?

(foreboding music)

What's wrong?

(shushing noise)

(foreboding music)

(engine rumbling)

(tyres screeching)

- What the hell was he burying?

- Is this another game?

- Why does a man stop in

the middle of nowhere,

and dig a hole?

- Maybe he had to, you

know, go to the toilet.

- Lady, you don't understand.
