in a padded cell or published...

One or the other.

I think the most important thing

about writing

is that an author knows

about human nature...

The contradictions

we all have,

the lies we pretend

are truths,

the fears that we pretend

are strengths,

the greed and revenge

that we have

that we don't

admit to ourselves.

In my books...

Like in my life, I guess...

Logic is king.

Or I guess, in my case,

the queen.

You were wonderful, tess.

Worth every penny.

Thank you.

They were all so great,

and I sold some books.

Oh, I saw.

"Kiss of death"...

That is such a classic, huh'?

Richard Widmark

was in that.

He's my favorite actor.

I fell in love with him

when I was a girl

after seeing

"kiss of death."

He was so powerful,

so intense.

I got him to sign

this for me... in person.

He was very old then,

but that's a real signature,

not a stamp.

Wow.

He was very handsome.

I'll make sure

you get all the photos

that were taken today.

Thanks. Now let's get

that route for you.

Better a straight shot

through robin hood's forest

than all the way

around it.

We'll input stag road

and U.S. 47.

Oh, by the way, stag road

is very scenic...

Parched asphalt

and all that,

but not too bumpy

the last time I took it,

and that was in the spring,

when the worst bumps show up.

And I hate bumps.

Then when you get to 47,

you will spot a sign

that points to I-84.

And you're only

gonna have to spend

12 miles on the turnpike.

And that's

the beauty part.

You'll save lots of time

and aggravation,

you'll put hours

on your life,

and you'll thank me

and the three bees later.

Stag road is approach/mg.

In one mile, turn right.

You got it, tom.

Where the hell am I'?

It's four miles

from the intersection

of stag road and U.S. 47

in Colewich.

Geez.

what...

Recalculating.

Make a legal u-turn.

Thanks, tom.

I don't like it out here.

Oh!

Oh.

Ohh. God.

Hey!

Hey!

Ugh.

"Zombie bakers."

That's a stupid name, anyway!

Figures.

Hey! Hey!

Amazing. Hello.

Hey, there.

Thank you so much for stopping.

I appreciate it.

You pick that happy crappy

up off the road?

Yeah, all but the piece

that got my front-right tire.

Some luck.

I tried to call

aaa, but... I know.

No cellphone service

out here.

Welcome to nowhere.

Tell you what,

if you got a spare tire,

I'll change it for you.

Thank you so much!

I really appreciate it.

You are a godsend.

Wow.

Yep. I know.

Didn't think you were gonna be

meeting the jolly green giant

out here in willywags,

did you'?

No, I was

actually thinking

that you don't ride

in that truck of yours...

You wear it.

I've never heard it

put that way before.

But when I win

the lottery,
