Scenes
Madie (Dyan Cannon) escapes from a lunatic asylum and hitches a ride with a trucker (Charles, played by Robert Blake). She tells him she needs to go to the bathroom, and he stops by the side of the road for her to squat. She insists that he whistle as she pees. Nothing is shown, and this scene takes place at night anyway. He then begins driving away, forcing her to run after the truck.
The next day they stop at a truck stop, where Madie says she has to "go to the bathroom so bad." Charles comes to the ladies' room to talk to her outside the door.
