Buy the ticket take the Ride
Hunter S. Thompson (1939 - 2005), Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Tony DiNozzo loved his car and hated public transportation.
Unfortunately, after someone stole his most prized possession (and while Abby had offered to boil them from the inside out if they were ever caught, it didn't quite make up for it), he was forced into using the Metro.
He would never use the bus. McGee used the bus and that summed it up. He was never getting in a car with the Probie either. Ziva had refused to allow him in her car since he had thrown up everywhere after a night out, including over her hair. And he was not able to find the words to ask Gibbs for a lift into work, mainly because he didn't fancy zero five hundred starts and incredibly late finishes.
So he was stuck taking the Metro until either the Metro cops found his baby or he splashed out on a new one. And until he found out what had happened to his baby, the latter was not an option.
He stared at the ticket machine in horror. How was he supposed to use this? How many options did he have? He only wanted some kind of direct route from his place to the Navy Yard, but this looked like a labyrinth of lines and connections.
Resisting the urge to whimper, he looked about for the nearest information kiosk. There had to be a pretty lady who could explain all this to him…
