and it wouldn't break it down.

See, it's hot and metallic.

Yeah.

She overheated.

I can fix a lot of things,

but I can't fix that.

And I'm fresh out

of water supplies myself.

You unlucky ducks need a tow truck.

I'm sorry I can't help you.

I'm sorry, Amber.

Looks like we're not going to make it.

It's me.

Did you not hear me calling you?

What happened?

This guy. He's going to Chicago.

What?

So you think you can take us?

No, no. I could get fired for that.

Come on,

we're not going to tell anyone.

Damn right. There's nothing to tell.

- What are they talking about?

- Do you think I should go over there?

Listen...

We need to get to Chicago.

And you're going to Chicago.

It's, like, fate.

I don't believe in fate.

What about money?

Go get...

It's not about money.

Look, you don't understand.

I'm finally getting out of Famfield.

I've already waited too long.

If I let anything else get in my way...

Well...

I checked out of my one-horse town

when I was about your age.

You ever heard of Gunter, Texas?

Exactly.

Worst city ever shat out

onto God's green earth.

One thousand fifty-six people.

Every last one waiting for me

to come crawling back from San Antonio.

Wasn't easy, but,

besides my wife and three kids,

best thing I ever did.

So you do understand.

So how much should I give him?

Put your money away.

I totally understand

if anyone doesn't wanna go.

But it's 19 hours until my deadline.

And we've

already tried everyone we know.

- I have no choice.

- You always have a choice.

We're down.

I mean, I think it'll be fun.

How do you know

we can even trust this guy?

We don't.

But I've got an idea.

Hey. First of all,

we really appreciate the ride.

But for safety's sake,

we have a couple of conditions.

Shoot.

Okay, well,

one of us will ride up front with you.

That was going to be

one of my conditions.

A little conversation

will keep me awake.

Okay. We also need

to take photos of you and your truck

to send to our friends, just in case.

- Done.

- Great.

What else?

- That's it.

- That's it?

- That's it.

- All right.

- Let's go. Make sure we get our stuff.

- All right.

Smile again. And keep smiling.

So who's riding up front?

It should be one of the guys.

Yeah, it should be one of the guys.

But, baby, I want you

riding in the back with me.

Okay, baby. That's fine, that's fine.

Paper, rock, scissors.

- Ready?

- On three.

One, two, three.

One, two, three.

One, two, three! Yes!

Guess you're in the front.

- Have fun.

- Cheers, buddy.

Take care of him!

- We'll see you on the other side.

- Will do.

Thank you very much.

Where are you? There you are.

If you have any kind
