Duration: 12'
Two weird Italians, Dodo and Dado, are virtually stuck inside a wreck of a Buick. They have literally lost their way (in the sense that there is no way) in the middle of the forests and deserts of the magic States. Dodo just keeps on talking, but not Dado. He listens despite himself and daydreams... There is a third man with them who is wearing the make up of a mime of horror on his face. Days and nights pass. Dodo reads an idiotic American newspaper, the "Weekly News", which tells stories o giant hamsters, alien spaceships and Satan's skull, until they stop at a "Drive thru" to order: "a double cheese burger onion rings and large orange drink, please!".
