Take Me Home Page #2

- Drive.

- What?

- Just drive.

I know I have big plans,

and, uh, I'm braving it.

Oh, God.

Are you...

I'm a body traced in chalk

There's less to see

the more I talk

You're gonna search

your memories

And wonder if

you ever met me

If you're going past Newark,

I gotta charge round trip.

I don't make the rules.

That's... That's headquarters.

You can't go past

New Brunswick either.

That's...

That's corporation limit.

Heck, even New Brunswick's

pushing it.

Would you shut up?

I'm not paying you to talk.

I'm paying you to drive.

That's why I took a cab,

so that I could sit in the back...

while some foreigner who speaks broken

English could take me where I need to go.

- I don't know where you need to go.

- I don't care where.

I don't care where.

I don't care how much it costs.

I will just pay you...

whatever it costs.

Because I don't care. Do you get it?

I don't care!

I don't care!

Do you care?

Oh...

- Holy sh*t.

- Mornin'.

Holy sh*t!

- Where are we?

- Rodney.

What? Rodney. It's about an

hour outside of Pittsburgh.

- Pennsylvania?

- That would be the one.

- We're in Pennsylvania?

- Mm-hmm.

- Are you joking?

- Mmm, no.

- Why would you bring me here?

- You told me to.

- To drive to Rodney?

- "Just drive. " That's what you said.

"Just drive. "

Oh.

Oh, I get it.

You drive me all the out here,

so you can drive me all the way back.

That way you make

twice as much.

That's really clever.

Dan Reeves.

- Turn around.

- I can't.

You'll get your round trip.

Now turn us around.

I can't drive through

the median. It's illegal.

I'll pay for the ticket.

Just turn us around.

- Six miles to the next exit. You'll

just have to wait. - Stop the car!

Okay.

Meter's running.

Can you wait in the car?

Here's your purse.

I got it.

I got it.

I'm sorry.

We can work something

out if you, um...

You know,

if you don't have enough.

Anyway...

I am sorry.

You're a licensed cabbie?

Don't point that at me.

You have a good record, right?

You're professional?

- Yeah.

- No accidents or tickets?

- None.

- Honestly?

Honestly.

I need an atlas.

- Ready?

- Looks like we just stay on 70.

- 70... West?

- Mm-hmm.

So where we heading?

Encinitas.

Where is that?

Pennsylvania?

Ohio?

California.

Oh, God.

You're serious.

Yeah.

Um, we're not doing that.

- Why not?

- Oh, I don't know.

I got... I got...

other things to do.

I got meetings. I got deadlines.

I'm not just a taxi driver, you know.

I'll pay whatever

the meter says.

The meter would explode trying

to calculate a fare that big.

Then name your price.

We're talking

a lot of money.

Like, buttloads.

- 2,000. - 2,000 gets you

to the Pittsburgh Airport.
