5 Dollars a day Page #4

---

I'm out-of-pocket

in the last six months?

$900, and I've wanted for nothing.

Rent, food, sundries,

entertainment, even.

That works out

to under $5 a day.

Well, if you stopped eating,

you'd cut it down to three.

Do you know how many people

could do what I'm doing?

You may see

a curious old person,

but I see

a good-looking older guy

who's making the system

work for him.

I do quite well,

you know, in my modest way.

It's sort of monkish.

AII I need is my bowI.

I go from village to village,

tapping with my stick.

Who taught you

how to drive?

You're a terrible driver.

You're a lot like me.

Nat.

- Hey.

- Huh?

- You all right.

- Yeah.

Food.

Let's eat.

Who planned this route?

It's like an EKG.

It's worked out exactly.

We do a trip down memory lane,

plus there's an IHOP and a Chevron station

every 300 miles.

I get free gas.

It's the best

of all possible worlds.

Let's go.

Every day's my birthday,

'cause I got a guy

who does drivers licenses.

Watch.

Welcome to IHOP.

Thank you, darling.

Is Jones on the grill?

Oh, God, no. He died years ago.

No. Enough said.

May he rest in peace.

We'll have

a window booth.

Window booth.

You might not remember Jonesy.

WonderfuI Reuben sandwich.

Thank you.

What's the most

expensive dish you have?

Chicken combo.

It's $11.99.

He'll have two.

Yes.

Ma'am?

Mm-hmm.

Right here.

Oh.

Thank you.

Make a wish.

Nah-

Grab the bone.

I don't do that stuff.

Come on.

No, it's voodoo stuff.

Come on.

Nobody's thinking about it.

Grab the bone.

I'm not superstitious.

Grab the bone.

I wish I could run across

my own private beach

and jump in the ocean.

What about you?

You wanted a boat.

I used to want

a lot of things.

Altoona.

We had good times here.

Are you serious?

This was our turf.

Father and son.

You want to know

the last time I called you Dad?

It was right here in Altoona.

I said, "Thanks, Dad,"

right after they found me

guilty of grand larceny.

I took my eye off the ball.

Definitely, I did.

I was willing

to do the time.

You had a record.

You would've done

ten years.

And then you hired that clown

impersonating a lawyer.

And he guaranteed

I'd get off.

Everybody said he was tops.

Hey, look at me.

and 3 days at Rahway, Dad.

# Many happy returns of the day to you #

# Many happy returns #

# Happy birthday #

# Many happy returns

from IHOP #

That's all right.

Thank you.

Which one's

the birthday boy?

That's me.

Thank you.

Well, Happy Birthday.

All right, thanks.

Don't mention it.

Happy Birthday.

Can I pick them or what?

Wow.

Whose house is it?

Our new best friend.

His name's Nobody,

and su casa's our casa.
