      Durch Geoffs alten Bus wabert Dunst. Der Wagen ist nicht mehr fahrtüchtig. Aber verschrotten? Gibt doch ein prima Gartenhaus. Nun hängen sie hier herum, rauchen Dagga, südafrikanisches Marihuana, aus einem abgebrochenen Flaschenhals und reden.
      Haze wafts through Geoff's old van. The car is no longer fit for driving. But why scrap it? It makes a fine garden home after all. Now they're hanging out in it, smoking dagga (South African marijuana) from a broken bottle neck and talking.
