Problem: The new guy was wearing a suit and driving a rental car . They talked for a few minutes , and then Ponto handed the bag over to the new guy . We dropped Ponto and followed the stranger as he headed toward California on Interstate 15 . " With the agents watching , the guy in the rental car pulled into the second rest area outside of Las Vegas .

Why would be agents watching the narrator ?

A: They seem to be doing a drug deal .

Problem: He said , " What ! ? Is this some sort of euphemism for something ? " I assured him that , no , I did indeed have a crow ... of indeterminate age ... in my car . He said to bring it home , and we could see what its condition was . We brought it into the bathroom at Tortuga - on - Venice , safe from the cats , and inspected it .

What may have happened before this situation ?

A: They had found an injured crow on the ground .

Problem: School 's become such a drag and waste of time for me . I think I could learn more through out - of - school experiences and self - educating than I do inside those damn ritzy corridors . I ' m starting to believe I only attend classes to keep my mom from being mortified - heh , dropping out , mom ! - and to see my friends / keep my promise to Mai .

How do you feel about school ?

A:
I feel like dropping out .
