'cause this is

completely unacceptable.

Okay, you want to go

to the Brooklyn Bridge?

We'll go

to the Brooklyn Bridge, okay?

We'll go to

the Brooklyn Bridge, okay?

Will that get you off my case?

- What does "off your case" mean?

- Will you be satisfied?

It means you'll be satisfied!

Very much so.

Taxi!

[Sarah] Um, I find it

really, really scary.

I feel so much

safer on the bus.

And the only way to get home to my grandmother's

home, safe and sound, is the bus.

And taxis are so expensive and

I find them so nerve-racking.

What are you Rain Man

or something?

I mean, you have to have

a system for everything.

Uh, gotta go to Kmart,

41 Oak Street, lights at 11:00.

Don't you just want to live without

going according to the system,

without sticking

to the line once?

Believe me, I took the bus once.

It was a messed-up

experience for me.

I mean, I got on the bus.

It was goddamn crowded.

I felt like a sardine.

Then when I sat down,

this homeless guy got up to me

and started harassing

the sh*t out of me.

And I felt like yelling out

"hobophobic" slurs.

Not homophobic, "hobophobic."

What's "hobophobic"?

It's a phobia against bums.

Look, it's one thing if you want

to take the bus by yourself.

You can do whatever the hell

you want on your own.

But when you're with me,

let's take a cab.

I mean, buses are for paupers,

and cabs are for the prince

and the princess.

You know, why don't you just sit

back, lay back and enjoy the ride.

Okay.

How much

do I owe you, sir?

[driver] 7.50.

Here you go, $20.

Keep the change.

Come on.

[pedestrians chattering]

[Sarah]

Come on! Come join me, David!

I'm having a wonderful time!

My first time ever

at the Brooklyn Bridge!

It's a gorgeous

bird's-eye view!

[Sarah]

Where are you going, David?

I'm free now.

But how am I getting home?

How do you

usually get home?

I plan to take my bus.

So then, take the bus.

The bus from the JCC

is the only way

I know how to get home

to my grandmother's home safely,

and I count 13 stops.

Oh, Jesus.

How old are you, Sarah?

David, I'm 24.

And how long have you

been living in New York?

I've been living

in New York City my whole life

since I was

a little born child.

So, you mean to tell me you've

been in this town for 24 years

and you don't know how to get to

your grandmother's house from here?

Well, the JCC...

the bus from the JCC

is the only way I know

how to get home.

That's the only way.

[David] You happy now?

I had to take you all the way

back to the JCC bus stop.

I guess you want to take

the bus, we'll take the...

Look, here we go. It's

your bus stop right there.

Okay? Take the bus, okay?
