"Yepi"

of course it doesn't. You've got
TO wait till the trolley car gets out
of the way
But the trolley car is stalled.
There's jam on tie tracks ahead"
We'll then, why don't you drive
around it, 1t does seem to me you

"Incom what?"
'Incomplete-not all there-if I

1t took 10 or 10 minutes to ind
