I think it's probably best if we, uh, stand as far away from the bus as we can. It's not gonna catch on fire or anything, is it? It could explode into a fireball! Oh, no, ma'am. It's just an electrical problem. What's gonna happen to us now? Are we stranded here? Oh, no, no, no. Another bus will come get us shortly. Dear God.

I think we'll just gather up over there, if you don't mind, thank you very much. OK, people. Let's join the rest of the passengers, if we could. - Did we run out of gas? - No, plenty of gas. It's just, uh, an electrical problem. Sabotage, probably. OK, let's... let's come over here. Another bus will come get us in a minute. OK everyone, I... I apologise again for this inconvenience. I think it's best if we wait here for a few minutes and, uh, I'll call now for a replacement bus.

- Don't you have a smartphone? - Uh, no I-I don't. I don't, not with me. Would you like to use my phone, Mr Bus Driver? Oh, if you don't mind. Thank you. So, what's gonna happen to this bus? Um, well, a... a big truck is gonna come and tow it back to the depot. - Awesome. - Thank you very much. - I can't wait to see the truck. - OK, I'll just be over here. I apologise again.

Well, that's as far as I got so far. But it's pretty amazing, right? For someone who never played before? It's very amazing. You just learned all that today? Yeah, from these instructional DVDs. And I've been baking all day too. Well, I'm very impressed. Isn't she beautiful? Yeah, you two were made for each other. What's it called again? The... the Jester? - No, the Harlequin. - Harlequin. And thank you, my love.

You look a little drained. You're home a little late. Was your day OK? Well, it was until the bus broke down. The bus broke down? Was it dangerous? No, it was just, uh, just sputtered out. It was an electrical problem. Electrical problem? Could it have exploded into a fireball? No, no. It's just an old bus. Well, I think they should get their best driver, who's also a great poet, a brand-new bus. It's the least they could do. The city of Paterson? Not likely.
