Jake almost even seems relieved when a beautiful young girl steps out of the wrecked car. Although he is nervous, he knows immediately that his charm and way with words will help him get away from this situation. Jake wastes no time trying to impress and flatter Mariana. The flirtation began immediately when Jake asked for her phone number and if she would like to eat breakfast. Mariana remains skeptical throughout and takes all the necessary steps one would in a fender bender.
She is innocent and cautious, while he is aggressive and daring. Maybe this was her first car accident and she was not sure how to respond to Jake. I know that if I were in a car accident my first response would not be to shake hands with the person who rear-ended me. Quote: “I act too, ‘he lied to enhance the effect more. ‘Been in a couple of movies.’ She smiled like a fan” (Gilb 469).
They exchange feelings of regret, sorrow and forgiveness not addressed in the first chapter allowing the reader to relate more closely than before. When they decide to switch from drinking coffee to gin they steer the conversation away from the more harsh memories and laugh about more whimsical recollections, such as the way Henry Dobbins used to carry his girlfriend’s pantyhose around his neck as a good-luck charm.

O’Brien’s explanation of how things turned out for Lt. Cross and Martha,
Why don't I have my binoculars?'' He looked at his wife and smiled. ''Well,'' he continued after a while, ''I've seen enough birds. But whooping cranes, they're rare. Not many left.''

On their journey they stumble upon and blind man who is singing on a manual railroad car and speaks of where they have been and where they are going. The men are later enchanted by three women they come across on a river who they refer to after as being sirens. These women enchanted them with their singing and put them to sleep.
The car is flashy and outdated with phares written on its sides, its an extension of Arnold himself. He is kind of out there, wild but not completely sane at the same time. The first clue to Connie and the reader he is trouble is the fact that the color of the car is so bright it hurts her eyes. “Connie looked away from his smile to the car, which was painted so bright it almost hurt her eyes to look at it.” The next clue was the expression painted on the finder –“MAN THE FLYING SAUCERS.” It was an expression that her peers used to use but had fallen out of fashion. This reinforces to Connie that something isn’t right with Arnold he claims to be the same age as her but isn’t convincing.
