lower than 14 volts...

...your alternator's probably no

good. Okay? Well, good luck.

What's up?

Start talking, I'm listening.

I think I've got a problem

with my S-belt.

What?

With my S-belt. I think my

Serpentine belt is cracked.

Oh, yeah. Serpentine belt?

A guy in Salt Lake City said that

he thought it was cracked...

...and that it would run about

You were driving with the air

conditioning on? The engine jerked?

Steam came out?

That kind of thing?

No. It just won't start.

It just makes this terrible sound.

Yeah?

Oh, man.

You are blowing my mind.

You are messing up my mind.

Okay, I'll tell you what.

Yeah, yeah.

No, that's it.

Yeah, yeah, I said, you know, you're

really messing with my mind, man.

Yeah, okay.

Yeah. I'll see you later.

What kind of car

are we talking about?

Well, it's an Accord.

Well...

Easy enough to replace

the Serpentine belt.

I don't know why

the ignition won't fire, though.

Who knows.

Could be the timing belt.

How much is a new

Serpentine belt?

A hundred bucks.

new one. I'll have to check stock.

And it'll be 50 for labor.

That's the best you'll find.

I promise that.

Okay. And what about a timing

belt? How much is that?

Could be a little bit more, but I

won't know until I have a look.

Okay.

And we're going to have to tow it

over, I guess. That adds another 50.

But it's just right there.

Well, it's always 50. But there's

no mileage here. So it's just 50.

I'll give you a deal...

Yeah.

How's the dog?

No news.

No luck at the pound?

Not yet.

I had a Collie once that was gone for

two weeks before he came home.

They'll find her.

They always get their dog.

Yeah, I sure hope so.

Could I trade you for a quarter? I need

to use that pay phone over there.

All I've got is change

and it only takes quarters.

Lots of minutes. Feel free.

No, no.

No one uses a pay phone anymore.

Come on.

Thanks.

Hi, my name is Wendy Carroll.

I lost my dog Lucy and I...

Yeah, yeah, hi.

I was just calling to check and see

if there was any new information.

Okay, all right, I understand. I'll keep

checking. Okay. Thank you. Bye.

How late are you

here tonight?

Eight o'clock.

Eight to eight.

Okay.

Better than my last job.

I'll tell you that.

That was all night,

every night.

Not a lot of jobs

around here, huh?

I'll say.

I don't know what

the people do all day.

Use to be a mill. But that's

been closed a long time now.

Don't know what they do.

You can't get a job

without an address anyway...

...or a phone.

You can't get an address

without an address.

You can't get a job

without a job.

It's all fixed.

That's why I'm going to Alaska.

I hear they need people.
