Tim fantasizes about the chase ending in a Bonnie-and-Clyde-style shootout and imagines the Fox 11 anchors' absurd narration if the girlfriend had turned on police or gotten intimate with the driver mid-chase.
- Fox 11 anchors frame the woman as victim while she's shooting with her boyfriend like Mr. and Mrs. Smith
- Tim notes police are guardians of a property-owning class while anchors nervously verify she's now the one shooting
- Anchors try to rationalize her firing at police as possibly having a good reason they can't quite articulate
- Tim imagines the woman must be impressed after her boyfriend evaded cops for three hours and jokes she'd be attracted to him
- If he beat her and then escaped the entire LAPD, she'd want to sleep with him by hour three of the chase
- Tim fantasizes about news anchors narrating the woman straddling the driver and having sex with him during the pursuit
- Anchors cautiously describing what looks like her kissing him, calling it probably a defensive maneuver to slow him down
