      “Yeah, well, some things work exactly like they do in the movies.”

      This, Pash says from her seat in a pile of glass shards on the driver’s side of this shitty Ford Pinto. And this, might I add, is not Pash’s Ford Pinto— it’s Roland’s. Roland the Denny’s fry cook. Roland who looks like slightly-more-overweight-flesh-slowly-melting-off-his-body Michael Chiklis. Roland who literally does not bat a lazy eye if you scream right into his goddamn nostrils. Roland the zombie. Roland, who shared a tidbit of information with Pash before Denny’s deep fat double fried his brain, and that tidbit was that he spent his entire life savings on this Ford Pinto after he found out he was not suffering from an as-yet-unnamed terminal illness.

       Roland celebrates life by buying a suicide machine.

       And it seems Pash has renounced her faith in life too, having just smashed in the driver’s window and hotwired the beast. (A term she mistakenly calls 'hotboxing' but that’s another grave error for another time.)

       Anyway, Pash figures they’ve got a rough thirty minutes, an hour if the deities are smiling on them, to haul ass in this thing before it blows— because to Pash’s limited knowledge, a revved-up Pinto is basically a grenade with the pin missing. So she’s staring up at her distinguished looking accomplice with the kind of open-eyed wonder a young woman can only embody once she’s committed grand theft auto.

  "Except in most movies, they tend to not trash the car as they break into it.”

  It’s not necessarily a complaint, it’s more of a mere comment than anything. After all, it doesn’t exactly look like she was planning to keep the car after her joyride, and even if, the Ford Pinto doesn’t particularly look like it will make it for a long time. It looks beat up, Hansel isn’t savvy when it comes to cars, but he knows enough to know that the car is a total piece of shit.

        But either way, who’s he to say no for a joyride? 

  The worst that could happen is the car explodes, and he can’t exactly die in a car crash, and if they do get caught by the cops, glamouring is always an option, so at the moment, it seems like the odds are exactly in his favor. And after telling her she was probably not going to be able to hot-wire the car, it’s only fair he goes along for the ride after she proved him wrong.

         "You can drive, you hot wired it; so you can have the honor."

  A good enough excuse for her to drive since he never learned how to. Which is why he takes a seat in the passenger’s seat, scanning the inside of the car with amusement. Just as bad inside as it is outside.

            “Does the photo look different, if you take it from the front camera? Does it add, um. The filters?”

                   [He’s old, okay. Sue him if he doesn’t get the whole phone thing. ]

  "I'm not sure, I've never actually used the front camera. Filters?"

"Will you read me a story, if I help you?" She asked, with a cheeky smirk, as she grabbed the little screen. Turning it on, she used her fingers to choose through the menu. "There. I’m not that young, and I adapt quite well.”

  "Sure, though I'll have to download one first --- you might have to help me with that too," he replied with a shrug, it's not that he was completely inept, he'd just never used a kindle before. "Thank you; and trust me dear, you're very young compared to me, it only makes sense you're more used to technology than I am."

"—— Oh. Hm." 

                         {He turns the phone around, to look at the front camera,                  then looks up at Hansel. } 

            “Well. I’m getting there.”

   "I think there's an option there in the camera app to switch the cameras."

             [ He's never used the front cam before, is that obvious? ]
