had been interested in her, and when he saw that she was going to check a student ride board to get home to Delaware, he saw a chance to get her alone for six uninterrupted hours to begin a relationship. The Guy said he intended to confess later and hoped they would positively look back at his gesture. They think help has arrived when a Pennsylvania Highway Patrol cop knocks on their window. He ignores their predicament, believing they were "parking". The Girl believes he is a corrupt cop looking for a bribe. He violently drags the Girl to the back of his old-fashioned patrol car, but the Guy hits the cop with a tire iron.

Despite Girl's pleas, the driver gets out to help the person in the other car. Girl follows him, and the pair
