Oh, yeah? What's all this secret man stuff you oughta know?

[That line of thinking is really funny to her.]

I told you, it's been 25 years since all that shit happened. Gas dried up a long time ago.

[handycapable]

Oh, y'know-- [ There's a pause as Ray tries to get the engine to turn over. ] How to hunt, fire a gun, drink, throw and catch a ball... how to drive, obviously... my daddy really went all out with me, he kinda had a stick up his ass about it.

[ Another pause as he pulls out onto the road and takes another drag from his cigarette. ]

Shit, that's right. 25 years... this place must seem like a whole 'nother planet to you, huh?

[thevalley]

Hey, at least you know how to do all that shit. Even if your dad was an ass about it.

[You know, you'll never know when you'll suddenly end up in the apocalypse.]

Kinda. Or something out of a comic book. Like one of the really, really old ones.

[handycapable]

Yeah, can't argue with you there. [ As much as he wishes he could just on principle. ] Most of it's actually pretty useless for livin' in a city, but probably not so much around here... and driving's especially easy to learn, you'll see.

[ Not that he has any experience with giving driving lessons, but as far as just explaining and demonstrating the basics, how hard can it be...? Especially in the suburbs. ]

Almost there. Do we need anything else from the hardware store?
