Learning to Drive Page #3

Would always be there to cook for me.

Then there was half a world between us.

And so I made my own food.

Your point?

No point.

Turn your head,

So you can see the blind spot.

And left shoulder.

Turn your head.

Left shoulder,

So you can see the blind spot.

Now put on your left signal.

Sh*t.

Other side of the wheel.

Put on your left signal.

Now turn your wheelall the way to the left.

Put on the brake.

Now you are in drive.

Now the gas pedal.

What happened?

- We're moving.

- That's good.

I think I do not like this.

Well, you have to go forward now,

Because I haven't taught you how to back up.

Now check your mirrors again,

Turn your head.

Oh, Jesus!

Nothing will happen.

I'm always here with the other brake.

Now press your foot.

Press the pedal gradually.

Down and release.

Press the pedal gradually.

Straighten your wheel.

Hey! Ma ji (meaning mother) sent another photo.

Ah! She looks sour.

- She would complain a lot.

- What? You didn't even look.

You know, every single time you find a reason to not like her.

I don't know how many more years it's gonna be...

Until they're all gone and you're left alone.

You think in your that you're still in prison.

Be quiet!

And you'll never speak to me like that again!

You were a skinny scared boy when I took you in.

I promised your Mom to help you.

Now you can be cheek and disrespect.

And you was stinky too,

Smeared all over with garlic paste?

Well, they said it would keep the rattle snakes away, in the desert.

So one of the border guards didn't smell you coming.

- Hey! It worked, right?

- What!

You teach us how to see everything.

Youe eyes, it goes from sidewalk to sidewalk...

And one block ahead.

You see the markings on the roads,

The lights...

Read the signs.

- There's too many to read.

- It comes with time.

Beware of living as well as non-living things...

When you see a person ahead of you,

Try to guess what they'll do next.

Smoothly adjust.

The driver's biggest problem is everyone else.

You can't always trust people...

To behave properly.

Ain't that the truth.

It is red light.

I mean isn't it strange that red has come to mean "stop" and "danger"....

It strikes to me that stopping is when you're safe.

- And going is dangerous.

- Do not talk, Wendy.

When you talk, you don't see.

Watch the light.

Ted!

Don't you love me anymore?

No.

But why?

How did I fail you?

What should I have done?

- Pay attention.

- Oh God!

Oh my God!

Why didn't you see her?

Were you wandering?

I'm never gonna be good at this.

- Never.

- Every time it will get easier.

Now drive on.

Can you please drive me home?

No, you will do it.

I will help.

Take the wheel, press the pedal.
