Planes, Trains and Automobiles Page #4

I'm at a motel

with this guy

I met on the plane.

You shared a motel room

with a stranger?

Are you crazy?

I'm getting there.

Did you call the airline?

I have a good chance

of getting on standby.

If they told you

wolverines make

good house pets,

would you believe them?

I'm not spending

Thanksgiving in Wichita.

I'll get home.

Mmm.

Not by airplane.

They got 18 hours of air traffic

backed up.

We're going to be having

our turkey roll

right here.

If we wait

for the flight.

How else can we get home?

Burt Dingman.

He works for the railroad.

I sold them all their

shower curtain rings.

He owes me a favor.

I'll get that.

I paid for everything else.

Why break precedent?

You're making me feel

like a freeloader.

Get me on the train,

we're square.

You got it.

That's the easy part.

What?

You know goddamn well what.

I'm sorry. I don't.

I had over

$ 700 in here.

I'm a lot of things,

but I'm not a thief.

You went into my stuff

last night, right?

I didn't take your money.

I had over $ 700.

You went into

my wallet for pizza.

Just maybe

when you went into...

Count it!

Like you'd keep it

in there.

There's $263 in there.

If there's more,

you can call me a thief.

Count it!

Empty.

What?

We were robbed.

Do you think so?

I've been thinking.

What we're dealing with

is a smalltime crook.

He didn't take

the credit cards,

so we charge

our way home.

I've got a Visa

and a gasoline card.

Oh, and a Neiman-Marcus card

in case we want

to buy a gift.

What have you got?

Chalmer's Big and Tall

Men's Shoppe,

a seven-outlet chain in

the Pacific Northwest.

Unfortunately,

it does us no good here.

Get me to the train station,

and I'll take care

of everything else.

Gus' son is picking us up.

This is not him, is it?

Gee, I hope not.

Are you Gus' son?

I'm Owen.

You the shower

curtain fella?

Yeah. Yeah.

Del Griffith.

How are you?

This is Neal Page

from Chicago.

Hi.

Pleased to meet you both.

I'm to drive you to Wichita

to catch a train?

Yeah, we'd appreciate it.

Train don't run

out of Wichita.

'Lessen you're a hog

or cattle.

People train

runs out of Stubbville.

That'll be fine.

That'll be just fine.

Leave it be.

Get your lazy behind out here

and put that in back.

No. We've got it.

It's very heavy.

She don't mind.

She's short and skinny,

but she's strong.

Her first baby...

come out sideways.

She didn't scream

or nothing.

Isn't that something?

You're a real trooper.

We've got it already.

It's done.

You know, Stubbville's

a little further than Wichita.

How much further?

Maybe 40.

No more

than 45 though,

depending

on how he goes.

It could be anywhere

up to 70 miles.

Woof! Woof!
