It was unfair of them, KITT reflected, to make Bonnie fly again after the harrowing ordeal she'd been through before. KITT was perfectly capable of driving to where they were going, and he probably could have made similar time. Not that it made any difference now, as the arrangements had been made. Next time he'd flat out refuse. He'd be forced into it anyway, but maybe his protests would be more effective.

"Bonnie, I'm fine." KITT stresses it again, because her fussing is making him more nervous than he was before. If he pulled a thorn out of the lion's paw, could he leave?

The driver's door swings open, allowing her access. "By all means. Maybe we can have this list whittled down to one or two by the time we arrive at our destination."
