bud's next stop is the home of daisy's parents, the location of daisy's brown bunny. daisy's mother does not remember bud, who grew up in the house next door, nor does she remember having visited bud and daisy in california. next, bud stops at a pet shelter, where he asks about the life expectancy of rabbits (he is told it is about five or six years). at a highway rest stop, he meets a distressed woman, lilly. he comforts and kisses her, before starting to cry and eventually leaving her. bud appears more distressed as the road trip continues, crying as he drives. he stops at the bonneville speedway to race his motorcycle. in las vegas, he drives around prostitutes on street corners, before deciding to ask one of them, rose, to join him for a lunch. she eats mcdonald's food in his truck until he stops, pays her, and leaves her back on the street.
