The Station Agent Page #4

---

What are you doing?

Watching trains.

What's this?

A train guide.

Can I look at it?

What time did

the last train come?

Hour and 23 minutes ago.

Seriously?

Holy boring.

Mind if I hang out a while?

No.

- Are you hungry?

- No.

Thirsty?

No.

You don't really say much,

do you?

Guess not.

Guess not.

Hey, hold on.

Olivia!

Hey!

- Oh.

- Hey.

You missed a great day

of train watching.

Oh.

Maybe next time.

Hey, Olivia!

Yeah?

Could you give us a ride home?

My feet are killing me.

Uh...

Man, when you guys taste this,

you're gonna be so happy

we did this, trust me.

Anybody?

No, thanks.

Fin.

Everyone's doing it.

It's there if you want it.

Hey, Fin.

Let me ask you a question.

What do you think of Amtrak?

I don't know.

I've never ridden on Amtrak.

- You've never ridden Amtrak?

- No.

That's weird, right?

I thought that's what

you train guys did.

How's your dad, Joe?

Well, he's driving me nuts,

but he's better.

Thanks.

Chuleta con cebolla,

con arroz con frijoles.

Cuban surprise, in other words.

Bring 'em in.

What?

Grace.

- Really?

- Yeah, we gotta give thanks.

Come on.

Bring them in.

Hands around.

- Who wants to say it?

- You.

God, thank you for letting us

sit here and enjoy this meal.

Please watch over everybody.

Please let my dad heal

'cause he's driving me

f***ing crazy.

Anybody you guys

want to mention?

No.

Amen.

Let's dig in.

- Olivia, plate.

- Oh.

Fin?

Let me ask you a question, Fin.

Do you people have clubs?

What do you mean?

You know, like

a "train of the month" club.

Yeah, there are clubs.

What do you guys do?

Well, they get together,

and they look at

old photographs,

and sometimes

they watch a movie.

Watch a movie?

That's cool.

Oh, sh*t.

Sorry.

This looks good.

Uh, what kind of movies?

Well, there are people

called train chasers.

They follow a train,

and they film it.

Are you a train chaser?

No.

How come?

I don't know how to drive a car.

And I don't own a camera.

That'd do it.

I gotta split.

- You're leaving?

- Yeah.

That was my dad.

He can't find his medication.

Totally sucks.

This was fun, right?

Yeah.

Cool.

All right, well,

we'll do it again, all right?

Bon appetit.

This is really good.

Yes.

We don't have to talk.

We can just eat.

I'm cool with that.

Okay.

Hey, Sancho Panza,

what's this called again?

Walking the right-of-way.

How am I doing?

You're doing okay.

I told you

I was a good walker, bro.

Boom!

Give me another one.

That one?

Boom!

Hi.

- Hey.

- Hi.

Did you get any mail yet?

No.

Bye.

You're f***ing

unbelievable, bro.

I don't suppose you

want to grab a beer.

No, thanks.

You gotta get over

the bar thing.

Seriously.
