The couple getting on the bus are squabbling in something that sounds like French but isn't. The phonemes are the same, but they're in the wrong order. Their children are grabbing at the plush toys on the dashboard. I recognize Taz, Daffy Duck, a heart, and Minnie Mouse. Other toys are too abstract or too worn to identify. Garlands of flowers dangle from the rear-view mirror. Decals near the door say "Trust in God" and "Smile, it's all good." The driver lets the bus swerve as he tries to grab back the toys. He clearly trusts in God. But he doesn't smile.
