doctor和Oeufcoque开着车跟踪两个同样开车并且可能犯罪的人，在一个关键的路线点，车载计算机给出路线选择，Oeufcoque选择了一条路线，doctor问他为什么选择这条路线：

The man sighed—he should have known it—and responded, “If nothing happens, eh? Oeufcoque, my naive little soft-boiled friend, do you really think we live in such a gentle world? When you think about it, what is there really that divides our little patch of earth from the fires of hell down below?”
