Cab Driver: (singing with the radio/cd/cassette or whatever at 5:30 am)
Me: Hi. LaGuardia, please.
Driver: (slips “LaGuardia” in as a lyric once)
Me: (sits back eyes closed)
— a few minutes pass —
Driver: (slips the lyric “Terminal” into his song. Then again. Then again. Then slips “get with the program, man” lyric in, which gets my attention).
Me: Oh, sorry. “A”
Driver: (lyric: “okaaaay”)
— arrive at airport —
Me: (pays fare and tip then:) Here’s some extra for the entertainment
Driver: (lyric: Now we taaaaaaalkin’)
End of ride.
Soundtrack: Nina Simone album
