The word from the street
PHILIP
“I’ve never asked you about your dad; what did he do for a living?”
TONY
“Oh he was a highway mechanic, fixing rigs when they broke down mostly.”
PHILIP
“That’s got to be one lonely job.”
TONY
“And lonely.”
PHILIP
“Dangerous, I bet.”
TONY
“Hot in the summer.”
PHILIP
“Weren’t you trained as a car mechanic?”
TONY
“Yeah, but I was never as good as my dad.”
PHILIP
“So when’s the last time you drove a car?
TONY
“Oh, that’s easy. When I quit being a limo driver, that was it for me.”
PHILIP
“You mean you haven’t driven a car since your drove a limo.”
TONY
“That’s what I’m saying.”
PHILIP
“Wow. Do you miss it?
TONY
“You bet I do.”
PHILIP
“What do you miss about it?”
TONY
“Just being out on the open road. You’re not stuck anywhere, if you know what I mean.”
