So, I was trying to think of a perspective in which the goings on in the auto dealership made sense,
L&J's story won't allow for Will Smith or Bruce Willis to save the day. It says, rather, that the destruction sea world discount tickets of the world is inevitable and right and just and good . Any so-called heroes opposing that destruction are on the wrong side of the struggle. This is what will happen, so no one can stop it. And this is what should happen, so no one should stop it. The heroes can't save the day. This story allows for only one Savior, and he shows up at the end not to save the day but to deliver the final, graceless coup de grâce .
So, I was trying to think of a perspective in which the goings sea world discount tickets on in the auto dealership made sense, given that it seems to completely ignore that whole world war three thing going on out the window.
Didn t feel it. The delusion is strong. It has to be. If people realized that 18 months ago every child was kidnapped, this world would have torn itself apart. If they d noticed while my boss took the reigns of every country-
Well the point is that it s hard to control sea world discount tickets a war torn world full of grieving parents. Can you imagine how much harder it would have been to conquer the world from horseback if people knew what was going on?
David, they can t see it. It s just business as usual for them. I ll be easy enough to get them thinking they dropped the car off with no ill effects. Soon this war will be over and with the exception sea world discount tickets of a few million dead here and there, there s not going to be much in the way of changes.
It s just been a while is all. It s been a while since the last time the whole world overlooked something right in front of you. It s been eighteen sea world discount tickets months and it ll take some time to get used to it.
Neither was the rest of Chicago, judging by the mushroom cloud and ground shock; he felt kind of guilty even thinking of himself. But he still cared more about his shattered sea world discount tickets shop windows than all the others, about his salesmen unable to get downtown -- if they weren t part of the expanding cloud of vapor that had been the western sea world discount tickets suburbs of Chicago. Maybe. The radio wasn t saying anything, and neither were the GC peacekeepers on the streets. So, since he d been at work when it all kicked off, he stayed there while he tried to come up with something more sensible to do.
And as if that weren t enough, here came -- on this day of all days -- some actual customers . The guy parked his Lincoln next to a fire hydrant, slammed the car door, and stepped unconcernedly through where the big display window sea world discount tickets had been, ignoring the glass crunching under his feet, as if he were dropping in on his lunch break. The girl -- just too old to be the guy s daughter -- was looking kind of shell-shocked as he towed her along with a firm hand locked onto her wrist. There were lots of people looking sea world discount tickets like that today. That was normal. The guy, the regular sea world discount tickets unconcerned guy, wasn t. There was something about his eyes...
They went into Pete s office, and the guy went into the classic tough bargainer routine, trying to get a discount on a top-of-the-range luxury model. Pete played along, trying to figure why anyone would play the obvious mark on a day like this. Salesman s instinct told him to stop worrying and take the guy s money. He still had to get home, pick up Jeanine and the kids, run... somewhere. And for the next few days, at least, money would still be worth something.
Sit back down, Mr. Williams. I won t have any trouble getting my district manager to sign off on throwing in that little errand for you. As you can see, you re going to be able to drive your fully loaded Range Rover out of here within an hour for under six figures.
And a rental car nobody was going to be looking for. And however much gas was in it, it would be more than the fumes that Pete kept in the dealership vehicles to discourage thieves. Let the guy find his own gas station.
