Let’s go watch the sun come up over the ocean! I’ll drive, but as god is my witness, the first person to puke in my van walks home. Don’t be shy, tell me and we’ll pull over!

Let’s go to “south of the border” first and stock up on tacky souvenirs and fireworks!

Holy shit! That just might be the most God awful, tackiest place I’ve ever seen in my _life_.

I am **so** there.

And afterwards, when we cross the real border, we can go to the market and stock up on all sorts of useless crap for just a few pesos.

Alright! Let’s kick everyone awake and get going!

Just let me run out and pick up a case of Immodium AD, and we’ll be set.

Get the econo-box of that Immodium. I think we’re _all_ gonna need it. Some bottled water and OJ would be good to.

And does this screen have to be so fucking **white**? Ahhhhgh!!! I feel like a Mogwi from Gremlins!

Forget the Immodium. I’ve got a big ole 'scrip of Lomotil and a case of Gatorade.

Now where’s the Margaritas?

I’m driving… I’m not leaving my beer truck behind and nobody else is gonna drive it.

I don’t care if I don’t have a license… And obviously there’s only one place to take this thread.

To Cuba!

That’s easy! With all these manly men here, we’ll build a poontoon bridge from Florida to Mexico using 2x4’s and our empty beer cans and tequila bottles! Geeze, do I have to explain _everything_?

## Now getcher big-ass Mexican hat and let’s hit it!

Hmmm. Don’t think we’re all gonna fit in that beer truck, John.

Looks like we got us a _convoy._

Time to put the hammer down, y’all.

Hey metroshane, why’d you wipe the ants off’n that Dorito? This is going to be a long trip. You need all the protein you can get.

Once you round those ants back up, let me know. I’ve got toothpicks & sterno right here in my purse. We’ll have us some fondue!

Yeah, you’re right Sealemon. Nachos would be better. I’ll hang on to the Sterno, just in case we run out of beer.
