Byron warns him not to mess up the Cadillac or else he will hurt him. Elvis brags that he has owned several Cadillacs before and that he would give them out.

Byron tells him he’s grateful for what he did and but he tells him that he does not want to ride with him. Elvis asks if it is because Byron is some kind of daredevil. He says no and tells him he’s just not good company. Elvis tells him that is not a problem and was able to entertain Evel during car rides. Byron then states that he will not be responsible for what happens to Elvis during the ride. Elvis agrees. Before driving away, Byron asks who Evel is.
