Line 38: Line 38:
Fading in, Hank is driving on the highway, supposedly back home. He sings triumphantly to the song playing on the radio, and his speedometer shows he is going 100 mph. Sirens sound, and Hank sees the same cop (Jim Kote) who gave him a speeding ticket that same day. Instead of giving him a ticket, the cop lets Hank off with a warning. Hanks looks at his drivers license that the cop gave back as he remembers what Chelsea's grandfather had said about counting on birth and death. He stares at his birthday, and with dismay realizes that eventually he too will eventually be unborn.
