In profile, WE SEE the passenger take an old mashed-up Stetson off the dashboard.
This is ENNIS DEL MAR: about twenty, but nonetheless compelling, not light or frivolous in disposition, appearance or manner, uncommonly quick reflexes -- a high-school dropout country boy with no prospects, brought up to hard work and privation, rough-mannered, rough-spoken, inured to the stoic life. Has outgrown his faded denim cowboy shirt, his wrists stick well out of the sleeves, the buttons gap.

That's Signal, ain't it?
TRUCKER
(no conversationalist)
Was the last time I come this way.
