Trust and Communication in Relationships
Frank
What did you say your wife's first name was?
Will
Darcy.
Frank
So, what was the long story you didn't want to make long?
Will
I come home from work two weeks ago, and she's, uh... she's texting on the phone. I ask her who it is, she says "Nobody." So I said "Let me see the phone." She says no. This goes on, I dunno, five or six times...
Frank
Wait, wait. You're losing me. She's texting?
Will
There's this guy we both went to school with. He's a cop, he's a PA State Trooper. And he's always had a thing for Darcy. Going way back.
Connie
1206, where are you?
[calling over the radio]
Frank
1206 here, Connie. We're just passing milepost 57.
Connie
You're about a mile and a half behind.
Frank
How far out of Arklow is 777?
Connie
Seven and a half miles. It picked up speed. You better step on it.
Frank
I'm stepping on it, in it, around it, and through it, Connie. Thank you. Over.
Will
She's texting on the phone, I keep on asking for it, she keeps on saying no. And, um... she starts to walk away, and I grab for it.
Frank
You hit her?
Will
No, no, no. I mean, I scared her, but I didn't- I didn't hit her. Anyway, I drive to this guy's house and tell him we need to talk, let's take a ride. He jumps in my truck, and starts in with "You've got it all wrong, we're just friends." And then he stops once he sees... the gun I got sitting on the dash.
Frank
Oh!
Will
I look him in the eye and I say "She's my wife. You find a new friend.
Frank
You pulled a gun on a cop?!
Connie
Frank? Frank, 777 just passed milepost 61.
[calling on the radio again]
Frank
Thank you, Connie.
Will
But you wanna hear the kicker?
Frank
Yes, I do.
Will
It wasn't even him that was texting her. It was my sister-in-law. Anyway, by the time I got home, his buddy's waiting for me, just waiting to serve me with this restraining order. Darcy wouldn't even look at me. So I'm living with my brother, and there was a hearing today. The judge ordered a 30-day extension. It's like... one day, everything's going okay, and the next, it's all falling apart faster than you can put it back together.
Frank
Yeah. Never too late, though.

Very funny. And if it does?

Train Mishap Discussion Among Crew Members
Connie
How the hell did this happen?
Dewey
It just got away from me.
Connie
It got away from you? It's a train, Dewey, not a chipmunk!
Dewey
I had to leave the cab to throw a switch.
Connie
You left the cab?!
Gileece
Yeah, and it gets worse. The air brakes weren't tied on. They aren't tied on, still.
Connie
We've got an unmanned train rolling into opposing traffic with no air brakes?! Is that what you're telling me?
Dewey
I set the independent brake. That'll for sure stop it.
Connie
How fast is it going?
Dewey
No more than 10 miles per.
Connie
Okay, jump on the high rail and go after it.

One Rule for Doing Things Right
Frank
I only got one rule. One rule only: you're gonna do something, you do it right. You don't know how to do it, you ask me, all right? Likewise, if you need anything from me, you'd better speak up. Cause, uh, you're the conductor. Once we get our freight, it's your train; I'm just the guy driving it.
[to Will]
