The cab driver says to me, "Where are you going?"
"Union Square," I reply.
"Where?" he says.
"Union Square," I repeat.
"Where's that?" he asks.
"You don't know?" I say.
"Is it north or south?" he asks.
"It's Union Square!" I cry.
We start driving. The cabbie gets on the radio to dispatch. "Estoy saliendo a Union Square," he says quickly.
"Donde?" dispatch replies.
"Union Square," he repeats.
"Ha ha," dispatch says.
"En Manhattan," the cabbie says.
"Manhattan?" dispatch repeats.
"Manhattan!" the cabbie cries.
"Ha ha," dispatch says again.
Did I just climb aboard the only Pennsylvania taxi in all of New York?
"Union Square," I reply.
"Where?" he says.
"Union Square," I repeat.
"Where's that?" he asks.
