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.

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.

Who's on first? Who's on first? I'll tell ya who's on first. And I'll tell ya what's on second too. But you ain't gonna wanna know. I can explain, sweetheart. No, let me explain. That is my cookie jar money. That is money I've been saving up so I could get my hair fixed to go to your damn niece's wedding. That is my money. Mine! I promise, I will replace it. I-I will replace it after this weekend's chess tournament. Chess tournament? Doc, you gonna need a chess tourniquet if you don't put that damn money back.

So what'd they do? Send a mechanic, uh, on site or tow the motherfucker or what? Yeah, yeah. They come and tow it back to the depot, and they send a replacement bus for the passengers. Man, that could've been a lot worse. Damn thing could've exploded into a fuckin' fireball!

Maybe you should get a smartphone. Just for emergencies. You know I don't want one. The world worked fine before they even existed. I know, darling, but sometimes they make things easier.

I told you that place could be dangerous. I mean, anyone could just walk in there any time with a shotgun or something. Now you see what I mean? - Yeah. - Yeah. But it was only... it was only a toy gun.

- What? - Did you ever hear of the old Italian poet called Pet-ra-rch, is that it? Mm, Petrarch. He perfected the sonnet. Um, I read online that one of his early books of poems was called The Secret Book. Just like yours. I didn't know that. You read that? You just happened upon it online? And also that he wrote all his love poems to a beautiful girl called, ta-dah, Laura. That's true. So you have many things in common with other great and famous poets, you see.
