Along the way, they hit a bump which causes some of Tyrone's items to fall out of the back of the truck. Pablo and Uniqua investigate a box that falls out of the truck, which Pablo opens only to be blown away by a gust of wind. Uniqua asks what was inside the box, to which Pablo replies "A box of wind".
