House salesman... The train? No problem, one only goes by every 15 minutes and, if it ever skips the rails, you got that row of guide posts fer protection.

So. We have a driver that thinks he can still make it across....his wife who is just covering her eyes to make it go away...a guy in the back seat who looks like he maybe shooting a pistol at the locomotive (not sure that's gonna help).... and the only reasonable couple in the back giving each other a heartfelt goodbye hug....
