Must be an accident.  This freeway's always open.  Hotbed for speedtraps.  Must be a good one, cause it feels like everyone's getting their look.  I argued with the guy in the booth but I didn't want to embarass my girlfriend; she really wants to see it.  In the end they decide the prices.

Want to know what it was? A young man with a small hatchback—he had free light brown hair but was balding too soon—had run out of gas on the side of the road.  A tough, obese Latino man from Triple AAA was pouring fuel into the tank while a police officer was sternly overseeing the process.  The Latino man wiped the driblets of sweat from the folds underneath his head, but that's nothing, because doing what he does, you need eyes on the back of your head.
