In our last installment, we left off with the four traveler agreeing to go on
the road trip. Let's see how it's been going.

(The Winnebago.Ivy is driving. She's wearing her usual clothes, plus a
whistle on a ribbon around her neck. Carmen is in the passenger seat, dressed
in a thin red jacket. She also wears a red headband over her dark hair rather
than her red fedora.
Zack, in usual garb, stands behind Ivy's chair.)

Carmen: How does it feel behind that wheel?
Ivy: Adventurous. I'm starting to like this vacation.

(Lee enters from what is assumed to be the Winnebago bathroom.)

Lee: Oh! It's like being locked in a formica chamber!
Zack: Aren't we the grump in an RV?
Lee: Well, I wouldn't be so cranky if it hadn't been the crack of dawn when
I'm dreaming of what I'll do when I get out of prison, when I'm pulled out of
my cell and herded onto an RV with the three person I'd least like to be with!
Ivy: You're no day at the beach, either!
Carmen: You know, I'm starting to wonder where exactly we're going. According
to this map , we're near Flagstaff, Arizona. But we shouldn't have a certain
destination- we should just ramble!
Zack: Golly, I'm inspired! I think I'll put on a baseball cap.

(He puts on a baseball cap.)

Carmen: Say, Ivy. Why don't you let me drive? Go take a nap.

(A while later. The quartet is entering a small shop.)

Zack: Look at that. Have your picture taken.
Carmen: Why not?
Ivy: (pointing to backdrop) Look, it's like we're really there.
Lee: Actually, if we were really there, we'd be whizzing by at 50 miles an
hour.
Carmen: (calls to photographer) Excuse me, could you take our picture?
Photographer: Before I take it, it's five pesos.
(The travelers pose)
Ivy: Why would he want Mexican money?
Zack: Because we're in Mexico!
Ivy: AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!
Lee: Uh, Ivy, people are staring.
Ivy: We're in Mexico?!
Carmen: We crossed the border a while ago. You were napping.
Ivy: But I wasn't allowed to leave the U.S. My passport expired!
Zack: I'm sure if we just explained..
Carmen: Come on, Zack. They have their rules.
Zack: What do you suggest?
Carmen: We bring her back in.
Ivy: That's breaking the rules.
Carmen: Au contraire. It's bending the rules.
Ivy: Carmen, you bend rules so hard, they break.
Lee: Carmen, I can't believe you of all people, a former ACME detective, are
actually suggesting we commit a felony!
Ivy: Since when do you care?
Lee: I'm not getting extended time! Carmen, this all your fault.

(Ivy blows her whistle)

Ivy: Never mind whose fault it was.
Carmen: If we do get stopped at the border, we just have to convince them
that we didn't mean to do this.
Ivy: I suppose you're right.
Lee:(under his breath) For once.
Ivy: Beats getting into a whole skirmish over this mistake. Let's get it a
shot.
Zack: Oh, yeah, this is foolproof.
