Meantime Miles and Lindsay were off to the Fair.

Why is it that the best buddy movies are the ones where the "buddies" have conflicting demeanors and personalities? My friend Upright and I used to think we should write a story about our friends Doom Bunny and Wes Gibson taking a road trip together because they were the two friends that would probably never hang around with each other without the glue of one or two other friends between them. We were pretty young then and probably thought this was the greatest idea ever when it was actually just the entire idea behind the comedies of Laurel and Hardy or Abbott and Costello. It's basically Trains, Planes, and Automobiles. It's just another version of Midnight Run. Maybe the only twist of our story is that there would wind up being no heart to it, no reconciliation in the end, no eventual respect of the other person. Our story probably would have ended in murder or suicide.
Anyway, the idea of Miles and Lindsay going off to the fair together made me think of that. These two are not going to have a good time together.
