Man: That's your ground speed indicator and that's your vibration tachometer.
Hal: Check. [laughs] Yes, sir! Can't wait to resurface some roads with this baby.
Man: Wow, looks like you're all set.
Hal: Yes. Now, let me ask you a hypothetical. I mean, if I was to accidentally run over something... I mean crush it into dust where they're completely unrecognizable...
Man: You'd want to center it in the middle of the drum. That is, if such a tragic incident should occur.
Hal: Come again?
Man: Look, a lot of our, uh, "road builders" have that inevitable fragile item cross their paths.
Hal: And if I were to encounter such a fragile item?
Man: You'd have no choice but to speed up until that item no longer posed a threat to your road building. Now sign here, and you can get to work.
