The time is 9:45 am, and Lou is annoyed that his sleep has been disturbed by the sound of a record skipping. Johnnie Taylor has repeated the last verse of Disco Lady at least 150 times. The jumping needle and ground noise have brought an abrupt end to an excellent dream. While standing up to stretch, Lou trips over a half empty can of beer, spilling the remainder of what was to be breakfast. Lou makes his way to the bathroom to take a piss, wash up, and brush his teeth. He makes his way back to bed, but not before grabbing the half doobie left in his ashtray.

While reaching for the ashtray once again to cash the remainder of his doobie, the phone rings. "Hello...hello" a female voice is shouting on the other end. "Just a minute" Lou fires back while trying to restrain his cough. Recognizing the voice as his mother's, in a more relaxed tone he responds "I'm sorry mom is everything ok"? Mom immediately responds "No, Lou the worst has happened. Your boss called and wanted me to let you know that you've been terminated from your job due to excessive absences. Your final paycheck will be mailed to the address on file and", Lou interrupts "Wait a minute, mom have you heard from Jan today? I'm supposed to pick the girls up from the airport this afternoon". His mother quickly responds "who's Jan, what girls, what about that sweet girl Linda? Dear you need to slow down". Lou contemplatively sighs and responds "ughh, thanks mom, try not to worry I'll stop by later". The call is ended, but Lou's day has just begun.

The time is now 10:30 am, and Lou is sitting at the edge of his bed bewildered. He's trying to make sense out of being fired from a job he hasn't worked at since 1976. The sound of thunder and rain make's Lou leap from his bed, and take a look outside. "Oh shit, my truck is gone" Lou shouts as he runs for the door. Once outside, Lou immediately assumes the truck was repossessed. He decides to call his creditor to confirm. While searching for the telephone number, Lou looks out the window and notices a 1976 Monte Carlo that he purchased brand new. He immediately runs outside and slowly glances over the cars exterior. "Linda" Lou calls out to the car, and stands there as if he were waiting for the car to respond. The next hour finds Lou standing in the rain, glancing over Linda, trying to make sense out of what is seemingly very crazy.

"Look man, if you scream Linda one more time, I'm gonna burn you with this hot comb. That'll give you something to scream
