Rustam Helps a Stranded Motorist

By the side of the highway, a sleek BMW sits stranded, with the driver pacing back and forth trying to fetch help by cell phone. Apparently she has locked her keys in the car. Suddenly, a rundown cab pulls up behind. The cabbie emerges and approaches the Beamer.

RUSTAM (with heavy Russian accent)
What is matter lady?

DRIVER (in a panic)
I've locked my keys in the car and I'm late for an appointment... can you help?

RUSTAM
Sure lady... you pay me 100 dollars and I open door for you.

DRIVER
100 dollars?!?! That's ridiculous! You're just trying to rip me off.

RUSTAM (pointing at car)
No, no lady... please, I no trying to rip you off. 100 dollars legitimate fee. You pay me 100 dollars and I help you... I open car, get keys out for you...

(pauses, turning to driver...)

...and I no kill you and make lovings to your dead body.
Is good!

Taken aback, the lady fishes 100 dollars out of her purse and hands it to Rustam.

RUSTAM (examining bills)
Thank you lady... is good.

Rustam breaks the car window, reaches inside and pulls keys out of the ignition. Turning back to the driver, he hands her the keys.

RUSTAM
Here you go lady.

Rustam walks away, as the driver stares dumbfounded.

RUSTAM
OK, bye bye!!
