They are outside the Blue Owl Bar. It's mid-morning, so there are cars rushing [so to speak] by, and people walking, biking, or rollerblading down the sidewalk nearby.

"Well, here we are,"  she says brightly, ponytail ruffled by a light breeze.

"Then it's lucky for me that the mainstream won't want my work, until maybe--maybe twenty years after I'm dead," he grins. "So hold on to what I give you, and it may pay for college for those hypothetical adopted children."

"For when I have that tragic art accident," he explains. "Crushed to death by a metaphor--tragic. But you'll be well situated, I'll see to that."

He glances out the window as they slowly approach the border.

"I'm nothing if not loyal," he says. "Do you have a passport or papers with you, or do you need something? It'll be our turn soon enoguh."

"I can't imagine a bad picture of you," he says with a smile. "Were you blinking? Or did they ask you something and then take the picture while you were talking? Or were you really hungover, maybe? My driver's license picture, I'm hungover in."

"It's a shame I wasn't with you at the DMV that day," he says. "I'm sure you would've inspired quite a lot of daydreaming. I would've made up a story about you being the head of some international smuggling ring... but what would you have been smuggling? That's a tough one."

"Just as long as you're not one of those people who always wind up on the news, because they were smuggling them in their pants," he says. "You could maybe get away with it with very small puppies, but I can't imagine it would be very comfortable for anyone involved."

"Purses are fine," he says. "It isn't nearly as embarrassing, if you get caught, to be known on television as 'that women with the puppies in her purse.' But I do have to ask--who were you smuggling the puppies for?"

"I've heard of them," he says with a smile. I've heard they're trouble, but if you can handle doing business with them, it's worth it."

And he rolls down the window to show his papers to the border guards.

He answers the questions he is asked--no weapons, no illegal substances, both American citizens, tobacco for personal use, going for the weekend to see the falls.

It's a very ordinary thing, so he loses himself for a while in his role--an ordinary, not very outgoing man heading off for a weekend vacation with his girlfriend. It feels good.

Eventually they are given their passports back and cleared to go. Weyland smiles as he rolls up the window.

"It's a good thing they didn't find all those puppies," he says as he starts driving again, toward the bridge. "We'd have been sent away for twenty years, minimum."

"Maybe you could've," he grins, "but then I would've been on the hook. But at least I'd have an advantage in prison, and you'd write me letters, wouldn't you? With puppies hidden in them, so I can escape via dogsled."

"As long as they don't send me to Alcatraz," he says. "A dogsled wouldn't do much good there. But anywhere else... we'd be legends."
