• Car Rental Agent : [cheerfully]  Welcome to Marathon, may I help you?

  Neal : Yes.

  Car Rental Agent : How may I help you?

  Neal : You can start by wiping that fucking dumb-ass smile off your rosy fucking cheeks! Then you can give me a fucking automobile! A fucking Datsun, a fucking Toyota, a fucking Mustang, a fucking Buick! Four fucking wheels and a seat!

  Car Rental Agent : I really don't care for the way you're speaking to me.

  Neal : And I really don't care for the way your company left me in the middle of fucking nowhere with fucking keys to a fucking car that isn't fucking there. And I really didn't care to fucking walk down a fucking highway and across a fucking runway to get back here to have you smile in my fucking face. I want a fucking car... right... fucking... now.

  [pause] 

  Car Rental Agent : May I see your rental agreement?

  Neal : I threw it away.

  Car Rental Agent : Oh, boy.

  Neal : Oh, boy, what?

  Car Rental Agent : [narrows her eyes]  You're fucked.
