Synopsis
After Alex is robbed and shot in his cab (the bullet nicked his ear and rendered him temporarily deaf in that ear), he is understandably hesitant to go back to cab driving. He tries to confront his fears by driving the very next night, but ends up not making any money, because he is too cautious to pick up any fares. When he returns to the garage, he quits in order to pursue a safer career. Alex ends up being a waiter in a fancy French restaurant and is doing very well for himself. When the cabbies come to visit him at the restaurant, he realizes that deep down he's a cab driver and decides to return to the garage, after all.
