Casey "What does the Pantheon have to do with the desert?" April "There's text in the scroll referring to a bridge, which the professor thought referred to the Beringia, which was a route between Asia and Northwestern America 20,000 years ago." April "Plus, I was taking a closer look and I noticed this." Casey "What about it?" April "I think they're Yucca brevifolia. Joshua trees." April "Which means the Mojave Desert." Casey "Cactus." April "Well. Yucca." Casey "Isn't this whole chunk of California supposed to fall into the ocean? Eventually?" April "You mean the San Andreas Fault?" April "Um. That's not exactly here." April "Actually it's more like eventually San Francisco and Los Angeles will be neighbors." April "Just a little piece of geographical 411 for you. Uh. Anyway." Casey "I could eat whenever." |

"But they were moving." Casey "Turns out they were planes. I just never noticed, you know, the sky before." April "Aw! That's so sweet." Casey "Yeah, sure, sweet." April "Do you ever wonder what it would be like if we'd known each other as little kids?" Casey "Me and you as kids is like New York and California." April "Different worlds." |

Casey "What?!" April "What?" Casey "You're mad?" April "Oh, because I'm supposed to be thrilled that you almost got yourself thrown in jail over nothing?" Casey "That guy was a bully! I'm supposed to sit there and just take it because I don't want my girlfriend to get upset?" April "No! Of course not! You're supposed to get in a fight with him! Because we're out in the middle of nowhere hunting bullies!" Casey "Don't worry about what I'm supposed to be out here doing." April "We!" Casey "What?" April "What we are supposed to be doing out here?" Casey "You know that's what I meant!" April "No, I don't." Casey "Sorry I'm not great with words. I don't have an encyclopedia of science in my brain." April "I'm pulling over. We need gas." |

Old Man "Well, look at that." April "Are you okay?" Old Man "Oh, it'll take more than that to stop my clock, young lady." Old Man "This old truck, though..." Casey "It's mostly the front bumper. But it's going to take some work to unwedge it from the wheel." April "I'm so sorry!" Old Man "No troubles. Ted at the shop will fix me up when he gets back." Old Man "I was supposed to stop in at my sister's, though. She's feeling poorly." Old Man "She'll be worried if I don't show." April "Does she have a phone? Can we call her?" Old Man "Red hasn't had a phone in decades." April "Ha. Decades. Well I could drive over and let her know what happened." Casey "Could you excuse us just a minute?" Old Man "Don't mind me. I'm just an old man in the desert. Heh." |

Casey "I thought you wanted to go check out an old store or something." April "Yeah, well, clearly we've hit a bit of a snag in that plan." Casey "It's not safe for you to go alone." Casey "April." April "I can handle myself too, Casey." April "About how far is it to your sister's?" Old Man "Shouldn't take you more than an hour." Old Man "You're welcome to use that bike if there's other things you need to be getting to." Old Man "It's mine." Old Man "Old but it still works. The guys just put gas in it yesterday." |
