Having met the firehouses inhabitants, Willoughby becomes disillusioned and decides to return home to Missouri. Nicole also punches Willoughby in the face upon learning he works for Hawk. She offers him a ride in Herbie, and Herbie goes berserk after Willboughy insults him twice, eventually taking the two to a car version of a joust tournament, which Herbie wins, earning Willboughy a whooping 3.00. The two then go to lunch, but Nicole hits Willboughy with a broiled lobster when he spits out Hawk is his uncle after going through an uninterrupted monologue on all the horrible things Hawk has done, including building a parking garage on the very same lot where Joe Dimaggio and his brother learned to play baseball. ........
