 10. Well, how 'bout that? ... I'm lost! Looks like we'll
     have to stop and ask for directions.

  9. You know Pumpkin, now that you're thirteen, you'll be
     ready for unchaperoned car dates.  Won't that be fun?

     attitude ... I like that.

     not good enough for you, son?

  4. Well, I don't know what's wrong with your car.  Probably
     one of those doo-hickey thingies -- you know -- that makes
     it run or something.  Just have it towed to a mechanic and
     pay whatever he asks.
