I do not know.

Did you know

Super Sweet, sweet, normal,

ugly and super ugly.

What was I?

He said that you were ugly.

But he did not look right on you.

He would never have said it,

if he had looked at you.

I feel disgusting.

I'm in the shower.

You were right. This is very

Better than sleeping in the woods.

Yes, that's it.

- I like your glasses.

- I hate them.

I remember when I got them.

Suddenly I could read the signs.

In the bus I read them aloud.

Everyone thought I was crazy.

I did too.

Everything was so clear.

- You know what?

- What?

I should have asked sooner,

but I did not get done.

What?

- I do not know your name.

- It does not matter.

It's a pretty stupid name.

Howie.

My name is Grace.

But I am baptized Shadow Golden.

My parents were hippies.

Father is still there, but ...

We is not seen as often anymore.

- I use my middle name, Grace.

- I like Grace.

But Shadow

sounds dangerous and mysterious.

Shadow Golden Astronaut.

- Nice to meet you.

- Same to you, Howie.

Good night.

- 16 km!

- Just going downhill.

- Should we hitchhike?

- You would not there.

That was then. Now I'm tired,

and I sweat and hungry.

Can I get a ride?

- Jump into.

- No thanks.

I'm probably not as fine,

and I smell probably not so good.

But you should not be afraid.

I am deputy sheriff, so be absolutely quiet.

Come on. I need my help.

It is clear to see.

Jump into.

Come on.

That's it.

Here you go.

That's it.

Cigarette?

My name Hoffstadder.

Barry Hoffstadder.

So you two are going to Ahlburg?

- Yes.

- What is your name?

- Howie.

- Howie?

You must excuse the smell, Howie.

Goats.

I had a goat in the back seat yesterday,

and it sucks still!

Nothing sucks worse

than a dirty goat, right?

- Is Ahlburg not like that?

- Yes, it votes.

But I'll get some things

home with me.

You're not busy, Howie?

It was you who ran away from the camp,

is not it?

What are you doing out here?

- How did you get to Cherbourg?

- We got a ride, but we shall be back.

- We called them. They are waiting for us.

- It's good.

What are you two doing?

Have I missed kiss?

- None of your business.

- What?

I do not care very much!

- Let us out!

- Consider yourselves under arrest.

I broke into the Starlight Motel,

so I need all the help I can get.

You and ... little Lolita.

I make a call.

Be seated.

Are we in a juvenile prison now?

- He's probably not ...

- Shut up!

- He's disgusting. Should we flee?

- He has a gun.

He's probably no real sheriff.

Do you think we can handle it?

Can you run?

Hi, this is Barry.

You will not believe this.

Is the boss there?

Yes, it's unbelievable ...

Wait.

No!

- He's coming!

- I can not reach the accelerator!

- Wrong way!

- He's coming! Press it into the bottom!

Run!

- His foot, I think.

Stop!

- What did he say?

- Something with "the wrong way".

Stop! Brake!

- Hold it! Brake!

- I'm trying!

We have to get out!

Wait!

Hold it!

- Come on!

- Hold it!

It's the wrong way!

Hold it!
