Journal 5
'Pick you up at eight?' 'Nine. I've got to re-mine the driveway.'
Title text: 'Pick you up at eight?' 'Nine. I've got to re-mine the driveway.'

Explanation

In Journal 1, Black Hat explains to Cueball that a hobby of his is to pretend to write in a journal while on the subway, acting embarrassed if anyone sees. He then proceeds to silently scorn the person once they give him any kind of reassurance.

In Journal 2, however, Danish sees through his ruse. She counteracts it by proving that she understands him, and attempts to resign him to the fact that he will never see her again, thus robbing him of the satisfaction of a proper social connection. She leaves, taking his hat in the process. Initially stunned, he at last regained his hat in Journal 3, the trademark of his personality and attitude, leaving him with the upper hand.

Now, Black Hat finds himself in love with Danish. He comes to her house, seeking a date, and hilarity ensues when they both attempt to prank each other. However, neither is deterred, and their relationship begins.

At least he didn't same "remotely" 99.102.154.28 03:03, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Saying "remotely" would have been such a bad play on words. lol. 184.66.160.91 01:48, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

Are the remote mines a reference to THE remote mines? 173.245.53.198 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

Not probably. Remote mines are real world items, some of them are even capable of moving. STEN (talk) 10:59, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

That car doesn't seem like something Black Hat would drive. --flewk (talk) 17:09, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

Perhaps Black Hat took a precaution and borrowed a car so his own wouldn't get destroyed, considering who he was approaching. --162.158.63.82 20:53, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
