Leo, the Taxi Driver (2)

What do you think you're doing?!

Don't ask questions.
Just pull away from the curb and out into traffic, and no one will get hurt.

All right.
So where are we going?

I thought I told you not to ask me any questions!
For now, just keep driving straight until I tell you otherwise.

OK.

You're taking this all pretty well.
See that movie theater on the corner there?
Well, I want you to make a right there and drive this little taxi through that residential area to the highway.
Then you're going to drive me north and right out of the state.

Which road should I take?
That street will lead me to both of the freeways that run north out of California.

Why don't you just choose whichever roads will get me out of the state the fastest.

OK. Look. I have a family that lives here in San Francisco.
They'll be worried about me if they haven't heard anything for a few hours.

Do you mind if I just let them know that I'll be a while?

No, you may not. And stop asking me questions!
