Crowds Outside My Window
Roo
Why did he take this highway? I don’t understand.
Ferret
It’s faster this late at night.
Roo
Not now, we are in traffic jam. It’s one in the morning.
Ferret
I know, but usually it’s faster, besides we’re at the next exit. We’ll get off soon, you’ll see. It’ll go fast.
Roo
This takes forever.
[They pause for a moment.]
Ferret
You know how my place is right next to this big tunnel where people are always getting into accidents?
Roo
Yes, I know.
Ferret
Why do they always get into these big crowds and just watch? I don’t understand.
Roo
Well, don’t you do that? I mean, come on, if you see something then you know…
Ferret
I mean sometimes I do, but it’s never a form of entertainment. If no one’s hurt, then what can I do? Why would I just want to stop and stare? Although in America they always talk about people rubbernecking, you know?
Roo
Rubberneck?
Ferret
Yeah, it’s a person who slows down when they’re driving to see the accident.
Roo
So it’s same, just like America. You both stop to look.
Ferret
I guess. Except no cars. It never felt like I was taking up so much time though. Maybe I’m just used to be in cars, and not on foot.
Roo
When is traffic jam going to end? å¸æœº! (driver!)
