Son of a bitch. Come on. Decelerate! Let us over. It's an emergency. We're getting over. Emergency. -What the hell was that? -Jesus fucking Christ. What the hell in the hootenanny was that? The return spring on the throttle cable, or... . Look, the gas. Was it cut or broken? Let's give her a look. Oh, my... . It's not the spring. It's the linkage from the pedal to the carb. See? It fell apart, so the gas pedal didn't push back out when you took your foot off... -...but doesn't explain why-- -There is a safety override on the carb. -When the linkage parts, it's-- -Why'd it part? Shouldn't this ring hold the cable in place? I mean, how could it just come off like that? Let's have a look. Let's probe a little. All right. This screw has been turned all the way out, the idle screw. So when the linkage parted, it went the other way. Up instead of down. Wait. Now, how could that happen? There is no way that that screw... ...could turn itself all the way out like that accidentally. No way. Motherfucker! They did it deliberately! We almost died! They almost fucking got us, man! To loosen the lock ring and nut assembly... ...that holds the linkage rods together... ...a special tool would be needed. Several, in fact. It'll take half an hour to get this back together. -I have the tools, though. -Back at the house. Correct. We can always go to a repair center and borrow theirs... ...or get a tow truck out here. Here. You know, maybe that's what's fucking us up, fucking up our brains. -We're gonna wind up like Freck soon. -No. Okay, these are for us. And I'm going to suggest that you take several, with the implicit acceptance... ...of the fact that Substance D cannot screw up an accelerator... -...or a carb-idle adjustment. -Yeah, dude. Don't blame the drugs. -Come on. -Well, so much for... ...our great road trip to San Diego, Bob. I told you we should have gone to San Francisco. What, like going to San Francisco... ...would not have caused this problem with the engine? Yeah, because when you're going north, it screws this way. When you're going south, it screws that way. lf we were in Australia. This proves you got somebody out to get you real bad, Bob. I just hope the house is still there when we get back. Yeah, I didn't think of that. -I wouldn't worry about it too much. -You wouldn't? Christ, they may have broken in and ripped off all we got. All Bob's got, anyhow. What if they stomped the animals? Don't worry about it. I left a little surprise for them. What? Yes, anyone entering the house while we were gone will receive a little surprise. Little something I perfected early this morning. What kind of surprise? It's my house, Jim. You should ask me before you start wiring up my house. Why so uptight about protecting your house from intruders? Why would you care? I'm just saying, it's my house, that's all. You can't start going around booby-trapping my house. Okay, okay. I mean, jeez. Or as the Germans say, leise... ...which translates to “be cool. “ Just be cool. So, what did you do? lf the front door is opened while we are in absentia... ...thumbnail-sized, auxiliary, motion-detector... ...digital-memory cameras start recording. You should have told me. What if they come in through the back door or the bathroom window... ...like that infamous Beatles' song? To increase their chances of entering via the front door... ...rather than in other less usual places... ...I, fortuitously, left the front door unlocked. -Suppose they don't know it's unlocked. -That's why I left a note on the door. -You're kidding me. -No, no. No. Yes. But no. But yes. Are you bullshitting us or not? I just simply never know with you. -Is he fucking with us, Bob? -We'll see when we get back. lf there's a note on the door and it's unlocked, we'll know he isn't lying. They'd probably take the note down... ...after ripping ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Андрей Рублев на английском - текст Близнецы на английском - текст Чёрная Акула на английском - текст Рука, качающая колыбель на английском - текст Превратности судьбы на английском |
