Mr. Ballin

There has got to be instructions for what to do if your car dies.

There's got to be a way to get out.

Like, it's got to be in that manual.

And so suddenly, having all this energy, James sat up, he opened up the glove box, and he pulled out this manual that he had never read before.

I mean, he had no reason to, but...

He opened it up and he began looking through it, looking for, you know, the section that would explain what to do in case of, you know, total power outage and you're stuck inside the vehicle.

But like as he's looking at the pages, like his vision's swimming, it's so hard.

hot.

He's so tired and he just, it's all this little text.

It's hundreds and hundreds of pages and like nothing explained the situation.

It was like so not user-friendly.

And so James, he's flipping through all these pages and even just the act of turning the page was becoming so laborious.

Like he is just beginning to shut down.

I mean, he's basically dying inside of an oven and he can barely turn the page.

And then before long, after about a quarter of the way through, it's like,

He couldn't see anymore, and he literally, just like he couldn't turn the page anymore, he had no strength left.

MJ, so James's buddy, the guy in his 60s who was also a regular at the Waffle House, he's inside the Waffle House.

He's having his breakfast and his coffee.

He knew James had stepped out.

You know, he was going to be right back and he did not come right back.
