:57:01
Kid, this is your lucky day.
$750 and you can drive it away.

:57:05
Yeah, right. That's about as funny
as a screen door in a submarine.

:57:10
No joke, kid.
Pony up the cash and she's yours.

:57:13
Hell, I'll even take a check.
You've got an honest face.

:57:16
I heard it was a Thunderbird.
:57:19
T-Bird, Caddy, same shit.
:57:22
It's a story.
:57:23
I may only be 17, but I'm no idiot.
:57:26
Nobody sells a car like this for $750.
:57:28
I don't want her anymore, son.
:57:32
She smells.
:57:34
You can't get a smell like that out.
:57:36
I've tried everything you can think of,
and some you can't.

:57:42
You see....
:57:44
I was on a business trip.
:57:46
Gone a couple, three weeks.
:58:07
God!
:58:16
She must have been dead
practically the whole time he'd been gone.

:58:20
I don't know if it was a suicide
or a heart attack or what.

:58:23
She's all bloated up...
:58:25
and the car, it's filled with that smell...
:58:28
and all he wanted to do was sell it.
:58:31
That's some story.
:58:34
Why wouldn't he just call home?
:58:36
What?
:58:38
He's gone for weeks on a business trip...
:58:40
he doesn't call home
to see how his wife's doing?

:58:42
That's sort of beside the point, ain't it?
:58:44
I mean, what a bargain! That's the point.
:58:48
Who wouldn't be tempted?
:58:49
Probably drive the fucking car
with the windows down, right?

:58:52
It's a story. Fiction.
:58:55
I thought of it
because of the smell in this car.

:58:58
Which is a fact.
