I took pity on YOU, didn't I?/John: Indeed, although your motives may not have been entirely altruistic.//Miriam: Say what?/John: Well, maybe you enjoy meddling in people's lives, and that made you obsess over why I was walking along the highway. Or maybe you gain personal satisfaction from feeling like you're helping people, even if they don't need it.//John: Lastly, while you set out to have an adventure on your own, maybe you're actually so terrified of doing it alone that you were willing to pick up a complete stranger who wasn't even looking for a ride.//Miriam: You were a lot cuter when you sat in the car and didn't say anything./John: On the plus side, you ARE an engaging conversationalist.
