I Was Real Smart So

Everyone Called Me Poindexter.

Then I Wasn't So Smart

Anymore And They Shortened

It Down To Dexter,

Which Worked Out Better

For Me 'Cause It Lowered

My Expectations,

Which Being A Moron Now--

I Think I'm Nervous.

-Why ?

-Have You Looked In The Mirror ?

- Your Boyfriend Let You

Go Out In That Dress ?

- I Don't Have A Boyfriend.

The Base Of The Mountain.

Oh. Maybe I Could

Come See It Sometime.

Either That Or

We Could Drive It Over.

No, In Fact There Used To Be

A Sign Right There.

Was There A Sign There ?

I Didn't See

A Sign.

Ah, You Know, We've Been

Kicked Out Of Every Parking

Spot In This Town.

Is There Anywhere You Can

Park Overnight Around Here ?

No, Not Really.

That's Kinda How We Keep

The Local Population Down.

How Did You Get To Be Part

Of The Local Population ?

It Was Easy.

I Was Born Here.

Come On, Dex.

We'll Drive Around All Night.

I'll Drive, You Sleep.

You Drive, I'll Sleep.

Out Of Town, There's

Harder's Gas Station.

Just Ask Mrs. Harder

The Place By The River.

Tell Her

Hey, Thank You.

Doesn't Look Like You Guys

Will Get To Be Locals

On Your Own.

Hey, Um,

We Don't Know Your Name.

It's Robin.

Go On.

Hey, Robin ?

Can I--

Can I Buy You A Drink

Or Something Sometime ?

I Stopped Dating

Is Doing This On Purpose.

She Likes You.

She Thinks We're

Interlopers.

Interlopers ?

[ Man ]

They Have These Goals,

Want To Make Changes,

What Happens

When You're Forty ?

Thanks !

Nah, Forget It !

What ?

It's Just--

Well, One Time

I, Uh--

One Time I Kinda Wanted

To Be A Writer.

Really ?

I Wrote Some Stuff,

Tried To Sell To Some Magazines.

The Thing Is,

I Never Went To College So

I Never Learned How To Do It.

- Do You Read ?

- Yeah.

Anything That Isn't

In Paperback ?

No.

They're The Only Things

That Fit In My Ski Parka.

And "Remembrance Of

Things Past." Proust.

What's That ?

Well, It's-- Maybe You

Shouldn't Read That Just Yet.

Okay.

You Know,

I Had A Great Time.

Yeah, So Did I.

Am I, Uh,

Gonna See You Again ?

After You Read These.

Any Advice For Me ?
