- Ann Romano: You ran away from home, didn't you.
- Alex Handris: I guess you could look at it that way.
- Barbara Cooper: How'd you get here, all the way from Chicago?
- Alex Handris: By bus. It was a miserable trip. I hadda sit next to a nun. I was never so nervous in all my life.
- Barbara Cooper: Bus fares are expensive. Where'd you get the money?
- Alex Handris: By washing eight cars, three trucks, a tractor and a baby.
- Barbara Cooper: A baby?
- Alex Handris: Yeah. He was in one of the cars. I forgot to roll up the window.
