You've got someone on your tail. Could be a cop, [[The Bully|the local bully]], or a ''[[Implacable Man|very]]'' [[Implacable Man|persistent]] [[Loan Shark]]. You could try to slow them down by shoving a banana (or a potato, or similar size-filling object) in the tailpipe or muffler of their car. That way, you could give yourself time to escape and have a good laugh at the victim's expense as their car sputters and churns and fails to go anywhere. If the script calls for it, the car might even [[Every Car Is a Pinto|explode]]. |
