there were still cars when i got here. i thought we were going to get an early start to stay ahead of the snow? quarter past three. i'm kinda getting kicked out of my apartment. i didn't have time to find someplace new before exams. sorry. it sticks. that's as far as it goes. sorry. you going to be on that thing the whole- this isn't cool. if i have to drive, you have to talk to me. that's how this ride-sharing thing works. division of labor. we split everything fifty-fifty. get it? this is turning out great. forget it. yeah. um. saint vitus academy. you're acquainted with every school in the area? including all the catholic ones? because that's where i went. saint vitus academy for catholic boys. we had a class together, you know. intro to modern philosophy. eastern religions. i don't know. i just assumed. i don't know. i guess you just. look like a philosophy major. nietzsche's theory of eternal recurrence. no, they're not really the same thing. reincarnation is when you come back as something different and eternal recurrence is when you okay, i'll keep my eyes peeled. huh. actually, yeah, it is sorta. well, yeah, they do. but there's definitely peeling involved too. i saw it on discovery health. if more people knew about the peeling part they might think twice before going under the knife. right, laser. oh. why? you're getting it done. but they look good on you. you sure? you never. to class or anything? because i could swear i- huh. weird. i wonder why i thought- i thought you had to pee? oh. come on, i'm good at this. hold on. sure. okay. when? locked in where? i don't know what you're- don't worry about it man, i got it all covered. no, i've made this drive a million times. what's that for? keep it. i don't take money from friends. scenic detour. relax, i checked it out on the map. it looks interesting. will you chill. it's a shortcut. we'll be back on the highway before you know it. not many radio stations out here. where were you when i was flunking freshman physics? no, my grandparents are dutch, so i was raised on salted licorice and sinterklaas. instead of the north pole, he lives in spain. and instead of elves he's got an enforcer named black pete. basically he's like your santa, only scarier. what's your christmas like? i don't know. the beach can be sort of nice in the winter. romantic. stone harbor. me too. hm? oh, yeah, i know. what i meant was- well, see, it's kind of complicated- i'm exactly who i said i was, am, it's just- nothing's going on- look, just calm down. i can explain- how can he not? over where? there's no shoulder. hold on! what are you doing? any luck? i don't have a cell. how're you doing? you all right? i don't know. think i hit my head. asshole who ran us off the road. so where are his tire tracks? yeah, but you can still see our tracks. hello! i guess we see how bad we're stuck. ready! hey, open up. what the hell is wrong with you? what did i do? i thought i was driving you home. i told you, this is a shortcut. anyway, you were the one who said she was so bored on the highway. this used to be called `scenic 606' because there's an amazing view of the valley- let me get this straight. you think i intentionally arranged for us get stranded out here?! it was an you're crazy. would you listen to yourself? what kind of psycho do you think i am? i'm gonna walk back to the gas station for help. you've got the heater and the radio, so you should be all right here. though i really think you should consider coming with me. fine. whatever. if you feel a draft and you want to patch this. but it's my car!! hey. whoa! take it easy. what's wrong? what guy? where did he go? look. it's freezing out here. let's just get in the car and you can tell me what happened. it was closed. i was going to leave a note, but i didn't. you know. have anything to write with. how the hell should i know?! independent operator. look, can we continue this conversation in the car, `cause i'm freezing my balls off standing out here. fine. whatever. i'm getting in. you're welcome to join me. relax. huh? no, it's not. it should read. what? it's nothing. scalp wounds bleed a lot. head wounds in general. that's why, if you're ever in a bar fight, the thing to do is pick up a bottle and smash the other guy across the bridge of his nose. it'll make his eyes fill with blood and snot, and buy you enough time to run away. place called glens falls. no. yes. all right, all right, so i lied. obviously. i just thought you seemed cool. i don't have a line or a `game' or whatever the hell it's called. so when i saw a chance to get you alone for six uninterrupted hours, i took it. asked around. forgive me for attempting a romantic gesture. not if things worked out between us. i would've told you everything eventually, and then it wouldn't be stalkerish. it would just be this sweet funny story we'd have. okay, you've made your point! i'm a creep who gets off on chauffeuring women under false pretenses. can we drop this already? christ. i'm starving. you hungry? what?! shit! i spent sixty bucks on this gourmet crap you like! saint andre's cheese and carr's crackers and those stupid little french pickles, i forget what they're called- i know. i think i remember losing pack of big red down the back seat cushions last week. let go, goddamnit. give them to me! i need these. i still can't believe you left all our food in a stupid parking lot. let's just eat. you. girls. women. you seem cool at first. you should all come with a warning, like car mirrors: "objects in belly shirts are flakier than they appear." how about we just stop talking altogether. well? oh shit. can you fix it? but we still have the battery, right? what do you mean? layers. ah, jesus. what's the matter? me neither. what? why didn't you go before, when we were outside? it's still freezing out- what?! what happened?! why didn't you stop them?! maybe they have a phone! there! gotta - just a sec - catch my - no! there must be a house or something. keep going. i'll catch up. hello? hello? it's okay! you're okay! it's okay! * i was looking for those guys. i * didn't see anyone-- * * --there's nobody up there. what's * wrong, what's wrong? did you see * someone? what happened to you!? this looks like. oh jesus. like frostbite! * let's get back in the car. there's the ruins of an old house or something back in the woods. are you awake? why? there are worse ways to go. you won't believe what's been happening. what are you talking about? we're not parking here. didn't you hear what she said? someone ran us off- what are you talking ab- you think this whole thing was a scam? jesus, he could've killed us! get away from her you bastard! i don't know. do it. how do you know? you take a first aid course or something? i'm kinda not in the mood anymore. what do you mean? you were there. ghost. yes. and the old guys we chased- what then? how do you explain- you're having it. you think i do?! jesus. i'm just as freaked by what's happening as you. but we have to deal with it, `cause like it or not, it is happening. i don't know. they don't cover this in philosophy 101. what book? tibetan. it's not a how-to manual. it's an 8th century buddhist guide on death and dying. i can feel your stomach rumbling. um, let's see. duck liver pat with truffles. some olives, the normal kind and also some of the little shrivelled black ones. a bottle of white wine. and for dessert, anisette biscotti and a thermos of espresso. can't be too much longer until dawn. someone's bound to come along then. a snowplow or something. right? starting to burn. yeah, but i mean really burn. what's taking so long, nurse - priests! that must be what we saw them doing! you got that tylenol? okay. thank god! you were having some kind of seizure or someth- it's him! hurry! help me! i think. he's gone. i guess when he couldn't get in he gave up. i told you these `88 olds were built like tanks! he's not! listen! we just have to stay in the car until morning. then we'll be safe. that can't be more than, like, a few more hours. someone's bound to come along once the sun comes up. someone human i mean. think you can hold on until then? we can use the empty water bottles. from this point on, the back seat is a co-ed bathroom. sound like a plan? again?! you should ask santa to bring you a bigger bladder. what, are you one of those people who can't pee with the bathroom door open? no big deal. just your average day in the nhl. since i tried hiking back to the gas station. you were right, i never got anywhere near it. i i didn't want to scare you- how far do you think you'd get out there before running into mr. freeze? what are you looking at? so? you want to climb a telephone pole? but you're forgetting one thing. he's out there. i've been thinking. eternal recurrence. maybe it wouldn't be so bad. repeating this life. over and over. exactly the same each time. know what i'd do different? next time i'd just to walk up to you after class. and say "hey." don't let me die out here- get away from her, you bastard! 96: wind chill - yellow revisions 2. 23. 05 2. 2 continued: 2 wind chill - yellow revisions 2. 23. 05 4. 5 continued: 5 wind chill - yellow revisions 2. 23. 05 5. 5 continued: 5 wind chill - yellow revisions 2. 23. 05 6. 5 continued: 5 wind chill - yellow revisions 2. 23. 05 8. 11 continued: 11 wind chill - yellow revisions 2. 23. 05 9. 11 continued: 11 wind chill - yellow revisions 2. 23. 05 10. 11 continued: 11 wind chill - yellow revisions 2. 23. 05 11. 11 continued: 11 guy live the same life over and over again. wind chill - yellow revisions 2. 23. 05 12. 13 continued: 13 wind chill - yellow revisions 2. 23. 05 13. 13 continued: 13 wind chill - yellow revisions 2. 23. 05 15. 15 continued: 15 wind chill - yellow revisions 2. 23. 05 16. 17 continued: 17 wind chill - yellow revisions 2. 23. 05 17. 17 continued: 17 wind chill - yellow revisions 2. 23. 05 18. 18 continued: 18 wind chill - yellow revisions 2. 23. 05 19. 19 continued: 19 wind chill - yellow revisions 2. 23. 05 20. 23 continued: 23 wind chill - yellow revisions 2. 23. 05 21. 25 continued: 25 wind chill - yellow revisions 2. 23. 05 22. 25 continued: 25 wind chill - yellow revisions 2. 23. 05 23. 25 continued: 25 wind chill - yellow revisions 2. 23. 05 24. 29 continued: 29 wind chill - yellow revisions 2. 23. 05 26. 34 continued: 34 wind chill - yellow revisions 2. 23. 05 27. 34 continued: 34 wind chill - yellow revisions 2. 23. 05 28. 34 continued: 34 wind chill - yellow revisions 2. 23. 05 29. 34 continued: 34 wind chill - yellow revisions 2. 23. 05 30. 34 continued: 34 wind chill - yellow revisions 2. 23. 05 31. 36 continued: 36 wind chill - yellow revisions 2. 23. 05 32. 36 continued: 36 guy accident! you saw the other car. you think he was in on it, too?
