Sophomore cruises the streets with nothing to do, has yet to make any cars out of dried pastas

Wildcat: (On a bike) Hi. My name's Nathan, and you're On the Spot · On the Roll I guess I could say. What's your name?

McLaughlin: Mike McLaughlin.

Wildcat: Mike what?

McLaughlin: McLaughlin.

Wildcat: Where you going to, Mike?

McLaughlin: Ah, just cruisin' around. It's nice out.

Wildcat: No place in particular to go?

McLaughlin: Nah. I just got done with a class.

Wildcat: This is kind of cool. This is like: On the Spot, On the Go, On a Bike and On a Wheelchair. So, do you have a name for your wheelchair?

McLaughlin: Uh · Never thought about it before, I guess.

Wildcat: Really? You want to give it one right now?

McLaughlin: [pause] The Silver Bullet.

Wildcat: [musing] The Silver Bullet.

McLaughlin: Yeah. That was a movie about a guy in a wheelchair with a motor.

Wildcat: Oh, I like it. It sounds like a Marvel comic name. Can you think of a name for my bike before I tip over?

McLaughlin: Uh · Top League. I don't know.

Wildcat: Top League? I can dig that.

McLaughlin: I have no idea.

Wildcat: So what's your favorite food Mike?

McLaughlin: Italian.

Wildcat: I'm down for a good lasagna.

McLaughlin: Lasagna's good.

Wildcat: How about ravioli?

McLaughlin: Yep. Ravioli's good too.

Wildcat: Have you ever made cars · like movable · like a movable car out of, like, dried ravioli and out of spaghetti and those round, circular pastas?

McLaughlin: Never tried that, but I'll try it sometime.

Wildcat: Oh, you gotta try that, one of these days. Before you leave the UA. Got to promise me, all right?

McLaughlin: All right.
