No sharp turns, sir. Easy does it. I pray thee. (thee = 汝、そなた)
Very well. I'm getting the hang of it. Any other tips, sir?
Do not tailgate.
Oh.
You need plenty of braking space.
Very well, sir. Marry! Are your cowboy boots made from alligator skin?
(Marry = うわっ!、これは!驚き、怒りを表すことば)
You got it. That's wherefore they call me Gator.
(wherefore = それゆえに)
I'd like a pair of those!
Try Carson's Boots down the street, sir.
Indeed I will. Hey, ho! There it is! My most humble apology.
That's okay.

What a great ending. That's okay.
I'm not sure if that was Shakespearean. But...
I'm not either.
Hey, I have to say...
Yes?
That you nailed the Shakespearean performance, you two.
Thank you.
We kind of tailgated each other, I guess.

Jeff, what's the new situation going to be like?
Well, this time, Shirly is not impressed with Harvey's RV.

I rented this RV. Hop in.
Oh, you're full of surprises!
He he he... Hang on!
Harvey, slow down!
Sorry about that. Are you okay, honey?
No, I'm not. I twisted my ankle and landed on the couch.
How about we make a quick stop at a drugstore and get some cold packs?
No! We make a slow stop. Harvey, you're scaring me.
Sorry, Shirley. But isn't this great?
Great? Harvey, what's come over you?
For once in my life, I'm excited for what the future holds!
I'm sure the way you're driving this monster, the future holds you arrested.
Uh-oh, Rajio Eikaiwa, ho ho ho...

That program always saves everything.
Yes.
Well, how about we make a quick goodbye now?
We have to go.
OK.
All right.
Sounds good.

Change lanes and take I-17 north.

Honking won't do any good.
I missed hitting him by inches!
You need to keep your cool.
Right. How do I look in my new cowboy hat?
You're looking mighty fine, cowboy!
Sedona, here we come!
Yay!

Well, they certainly are in a nice mood.
They're having fun.
Yes.
Well, speaking of cowboy hats...
Uh-uh.
Yeah.
Do you remember, when was the first time you ever wore a cowboy hat or a
cowboy clothes or cowboy ... ?
Boots, boots and hat.
Oh, yeah.
When I was three or four years old, my parents dressed me and my brother up
in cowboy hats and boots. I have that picture.
What was the occasion? You have ...?
I have no idea. It might have been a Christmas present or something.
Oh, I see.
It's a really old photograph, and I didn't wear a cowboy clothes again until I did a country band when I was in high school. (in my class or something)

Three or four, one of the two, yeah.
How about you, Katie?
It was probably around the same, like, four or five because, you know, we
would ... my parents are from Montana, so we'd go back to Montana and
there's cowboy hats everywhere in Montana.

Yeah.

How about you, Ken?
Yeah, I got a cowboy hat in Sedona.
Oh, you did?
Nice!

There's a scenic lookout according to this map at the next rest stop.
Let's make a pit stop there because I'd like to stretch my legs.
Hey look, that truck in front of us is going, oh, so slow.
Oh no, look at his front left tire. Oh no, it's wobbling bad.
Holy smokes!
Oh, no! His tire blew out.
He almost lost control of his truck!
Let's pull over and help the poor guy.
We're on top of it!

We're on top of it = バッチリ!

A super duo and a super duet. (duo = 二人組)
Wow. Speaking of tire blowouts...
Uh-huh.
Right.
Have you ever seen this happen?
I've seen one and I've also had one happen to me while I was on the freeway
in a pickup truck.
Is that right?

How about you, Ken?
Well, I've seen a couple of tire blowouts on my way to Sedona.
Ah!
Oh, my!
I was so surprised.
Yes.
Well, we'd better stop here before our topic blows out.
Or goes flat.
Oh, great.
