Oh, God!
What?
Didn't you see that?
There was a dead cat...
hanging from that sign
we just passed.
Really? Cool.
Don't you even think
about going back there.
What color was it?
Tiger-striped.
What difference
does it make?
Well, I thought it might
be black, you know?
Satanists out in the desert.
Marielle said the Nevada desert
was full of oddballs.
I just don't know who could kill
You're traveling through
another dimension...
A dimension not only
of sight and sound, but of mind.
Very funny.
I can't wait to get back
to Salt Lake City, at least.
Too much nature out here.
I'm starting to miss civilization.
What? What is it?
A car. Really movin', too.
Get over.
Give him the road.
It's a cop.
Why is he going so fast
with his flashers off?
Who's he gonna
run them for out here?
Well, there's us.
What's he doing?
I don't know.
Hi.
What does he want?
Well, I guess he wants
to get back behind us again.
Well, why didn't
he just pull over...
and let us pass then,
if that's what he wants?
I don't know.
Why is he stopping us,
Peter? Why?
These asses have
a quota to make.
They keep the posted limit at 55
so they can make it.
Don't pull over.
I don't have a choice, Mary.
Great.
Holy God, it's Sasquatch!
Guess I was going
a little fast, officer.
Had the hammer
down a little, huh?
Can I see your registration
please, sir?
No problem.
But the car's not mine.
It's my sister's.
We're driving it back
for her to New York.
She's... she goes
to school in Oregon.
Rand College.
Have you ever heard of it?
Mar, could you get
the registration?
I think it's in
the glove compartment.
I don't believe this...
I can't find my license.
Sorry, officer, I...
Oh, wait a minute, here it is.
OK, and, um, here's
the registration.
Oh, good.
I see you're
an organ donor.
Think that's wise?
Well...
Is there a problem, officer?
Your name is Jackson?
The one on the pink slip
says Deirdre Finney.
That your sister?
Right.
She's been divorced
for about a year...
but she kept
her husband's last name.
Deirdre's a bit of a flake.
Bit of a flake, huh?
Tak.
Can I ask you to step
out of the car, Mr. Jackson?
What for?
Of course.
Come around back, Mr. Jackson.
Hell!
Peter, what is it?
Our...
our damn license plate fell off!
I doubt it.
Did you stop in Fallon?
Yeah, we got gas
at the Conoco there.
Why?
They got some
light-fingered kids hang out there.
is hangin' in their clubhouse right now.
You know this and
it still goes on?
Oh, Fallon is not my place.
Those are not my ways.
Gosh, no.
What should
we do about that, officer?
Well, you just take
the plate off the front...
and put it in the back.
That's should get you
across the country.
You got a tool kit?
These are yours.
Thanks.
I think I saw a tool kit
in the trunk.
Yeah, OK.
There, behind
my make-up case.
Hey.
What is this?
Damned sister!
Officer, I know what
this looks like.
But we checked her stuff...
But we're not
customs officers!
That... that is not our dope!
No.
Let me have your keys.
Get in the car.
But...
Are you deaf?
Get in the car!
Get in the car!
OK, we'll get this
taken care of.
In Desperation.
Get in the car, folks.
Tak.
Slow down,
you'll flip us!
What are you doing?
Are you crazy?
Officer, you saw
our registration.
You know that isn't our car,
and it's not our dope either!
Do you think
we'd be so stupid...
Shut up, you
New York deviant.
Wh... wh... what
did you call me?
I'm arresting you
for possession of marijuana...
with intent to sell.
You can't be serious!
You have the right
to remain silent.
If you choose
to not be silent...
everything you say
can be held against you...
In a court of law.
You have the right
to an attorney.
I am going to kill you.
If you cannot
afford an attorney...
One will be
provided for you.
Do you understand
your rights...
as I have explained them
to you?
Do you understand
your rights?
Just... Act normally.
I don't think he understands
what he just said.
Do you understand your rights?!
Do you or not?
Answer me...
you smart-aleck blue state
unisex swingles!
Do you or not?
Do you or not?
Yes! Yes,
we understand.
Please, just watch the road.
I got eyes in the back
of my head.
You'd do well
to remember that.
Up there on the horizon's
the china pit.
Gotta go
all the way to Peru
to find a bigger one.
Yeah, we just started
working her again.
They got some kind
of technology...
that makes even
the tailings valuable.
Science, huh?
Gosh.
Yeah, I think we're gonna
be a boom town again...
just like in the old days.
Officer, please don't kill us.
We'll do whatever you say.
Just don't kill us!
Shut your quackin'
yuppie pothead mouth!
We're not potheads.
You look like potheads to me.
Yuppies killed
Princess Di, you know.
Wasn't she beautiful?
Officer...
Shut up and walk.
Where is everybody?
Disneyland.
Come on, walk,
hay foot, straw foot.
You're Peter.
You're Mary.
So where's Paul?
I mean, how can you sing
Puff the Magic Dragon
without Paul?
Wait a minute.
Peter Jackson.
I love Lord of the Rings!
You are useless.
You at least look healthy.
Get in there, girlfriend.
Forgot all about her.
You can never remember
everything, now can you?
I don't care if you're
