Charlie Driggs is a conventional New York City yuppie investment banker.

Charlie claims the cash he is carrying is for his Christmas club account, but Lulu persuades him to pay for a room at a roadside motel.

After spending the night at a motel in rural Pennsylvania, Lulu and Charlie awaken to find a police officer and tow truck near the car she drove down an embankment and into a signpost the night before.
