“Hey!” Starsky was indignant. “Kish mir en toches.”
“What does that mean?” asked Hutch. He continued to kneel at Starsky’s feet, gazing up at him with amusement.
“Wanna know?” said Starsky. “Learn to speak Yiddish, nudnik.”
“Oh, I know a bit of Yiddish,” said Hutch. “Putz.”
“Yutz,” countered Starsky.
Oh my goodness, grin grin grin! Spread mustard on me and eat me up. I am just in LOVE with this story! The jargonese, the turn of phrases, the depth in the narration. Woman, you had me at hello, I think. And at this point, this is my fave part:
They had a car. They’d drive and follow the road just to see where it would take them. They had time and enough money to afford months of diner food and king size Travelodge beds. They’d drive and drive and eventually they’d drive to an airport, leave the LTD and fly over the ocean to Italy where there would be other cars to drive, pasta and sauces to eat, culture to absorb, wine and dark rich cups of coffee to drink. And then there was Torino, where Starsky claimed they’d discover the true meaning of life and Hutch had no reason to doubt him. After Torino, they’d drive to Germany, to the mythic highway running in infinite loops through the country.
I think I am your first fan that is about to faint from happiness.
