Woman: Hey. Are you leaving now? [ Yeah. ] Could you give me a ride to the train station?

Man: No problem. Oh, I just got a text from my mom about her doctor's appointment.

 

Woman: Wait. You're not going to text and drive, are you?

 

Man: Yeah. I'm pretty good at it. Watch! Now, look here . . .

 

Woman: No, no. Hey, hey, to be honest, I feel uncomfortable with you trying to do both at the same time . . . and it is against the law.

 

Man: I've had a lot of practice.

 

Woman: No really, I'll just walk. Pull over. I can catch the next train.
