"I guess we'd burn up enough gas getting to Boston to make up for any saving on supplies, eh?
I suppose there are stores in Salem." "Thought it burned up awhile ago," said Han.
"Part of it did, but I don't suppose it stayed burned up, you idiot.

We'd better beat it for shore." "Right-o," agreed Han.
