[Astolfo stands proudly in front of a car. A really old, beat-down car. It might have been an average car at some time, but not recently.]

You'll never believe how cheaply I bought this car for! With a bit of fixing it's perfectly serviceable, if not very attractive, and so much more efficient than just walking around.

My sons, would you spend a minute and help me fix it up? I'll take you for a ride anywhere you like after we get it in a better condition.

The parking lot of the hotel.

On my way. Don't get hurt. [That's not sarcasm, though his gruffness makes it hard to detect his concern. The video goes dark not long after.

And then he shows up at the garage, looking 'round left and right for his momma. Sorta.]

Hello~ [Whenever Astolfo finds him, he's getting a big hug from his mom dad.]

[HE'S HIS MOM IN SPIRIT OKAY. The Kid just looks a little embarrassed and awkward from the hug, taking a step back after a minute. Not before returning the hug during it, of course.]

...so where'd you find it, anyways?

It was at a used car lot at an extremely discounted price. I don't know why.

[Yeah, Astolfo's optimistic.]

Let's see about what we can do.

Mom, there's a word for that. A few, actually. [Hunk of junk is on his tongue.]

What can we do? I dunno how these contraptions work.

The first part is to make sure the engine is in good condition, or it won't go.

[Opening up the hood now, to check out this engine that looks as old as the rest of the car.]
