WOS: How'd everything go?
SOLIPSIST: Oh, fine.
WOS: You got the oil changed?
SOL: Yeah, it was kind of expensive. You needed transmission fluid, too.
WOS: Oh, OK.
SOL: And I also had them replace the air filter.
WOS: OK, thanks.
SOL: There was something else, too. . . I can't remember what he said. It was something they couldn't do there, though.. . .
WOS: Oh. Was it something important?
SOL: Um. . . I don't think so. . . I wish I could remember. . .
WOS: Brake fluid?
SOL: Maaaay-be. . . . I don't think that was it.
WOS: 'Cause that's important.
SOL: Yeah. . .It wasn't coolant! He told me that the coolant was fine.
WOS: OK, but what WAS it?
SOL: I don't remember! But the guy didn't sound overly concerned, like it wasn't urgent. . .
(Two hours or so later)
SOL: STEERING FLUID!
WOS (starting awake): Wuzza?
SOL: That's what you're low on. Steering fluid.
WOS: Well, that's important!
SOL: Well, yeah, but not important important.
WOS: It is!
SOL: Only if you steer!
WOS: And you don't steer, I suppose.
SOL: I go straight on! Turning just means you're going out of your way.
WOS (mumbling): Wish you would go out of my way. . .
SOL: Hm?
WOS: Nothing.
