Joy Ride 3 Page #4

Oh, yeah.

Good. There's a truck stop

two miles up with a caf.

American fine dining at its best.

We're pulling over for lunch.

Is that a serious question?

Of course I do.

Morning.

Excuse me, I don't drink coffee.

I'll be back for your order.

Uh...

- Colorful.

- Wow.

Oh, my God. She's the spitting

image of Large Marge!

Who?

Really?

Anyone? Large Marge?

Pee-wee's Big Adventure?

What are you talking about, Bobby?

You know, the youth today, they've got no

sense of history, no sense of culture.

It's just devastating.

Sorry.

Move over.

What are we talking about?

Nothing. Trust me.

All right, did you see

this route on your GPS?

No, maybe it's an old

route they shut down.

Okay, well, if it's open,

it'll be a more direct route.

We could shave a day off our time.

But if it's not on the GPS, then

it might not even exist anymore.

You're right.

So, what'll it be?

- Burgers?

- Burgers.

- Yeah.

- Yeah, burgers.

Yeah, please. All around.

Everything on 'em. And we'll

have them to go, please.

We're in a bit of a rush.

Of course you are.

Thanks, Marge.

So, what do you guys want to do?

I mean, I would love an extra day on

the course. Get the lay of the land.

You're sitting in a truck stop.

Go and ask a trucker, they'll know.

Yeah, that's a good idea.

Come on.

Which one?

Excuse me, sir. Hi.

- Could we have a moment of your time?

- What do you want?

Directions, actually.

Can I show you this map?

Suit yourself.

You recognize this highway?

Route 17. Does it still exist?

'Cause we can't find it on our GPS.

It exists, but you

don't want to take it.

Why not? We're heading

up to Canada,

and we figured that route would

cut at least a day off our trip.

Trust me, you don't

want to take it.

Why not, exactly? Is it a rough road?

Is it under repair? What?

You know what they call

that stretch of highway?

- No.

- Slaughter Alley. You know why?

Obviously not.

Because more people die

or disappear on that road

than any other road

in the United States.

Really?

Some say it's the road

itself that's dangerous.

Well, I'm a pretty good driver.

I mean, I'm not going to crash,

if that's what you mean.

Well, you might just disappear.

They say a trucker patrols that

highway looking for people to kill.

You do know that most serial

killers are truck drivers, right?

No, that's not true.

Ask him.

Barry here trying to scare

you off Highway 17?

Yeah.

There's nothing wrong

with that highway.

Barry, here, has a flair for the

dramatic. Pay no attention to him.

Then why don't you tell them what you

were doing up there this morning, Chris?

There was a fatality.

An accident. We are investigating.

It looked like a murder to me,
