My mother and I pleaded with him to please just pull over and ask someone for directions back to the highway, and he absolutely refused, and, in fact, assured us that we were not lost, he had just always wanted to know what was over here.
Io e mia madre lo pregammo di fermarsi a chiedere  come tornare in autostrada, ma lui si rifiutò categoricamente. E anzi ci assicurò  che non ci eravamo persi, si era solo sempre chiesto  cosa ci fosse da quelle parti.
