We know that our riffers mention "Torrance to Long Beach" (which, as
we all agree, are practically right next to each other).
We're wondering if the movie itself actually says that the starting
point is Torrance.
Do you have a URL to show us where the movie says "Torrance?"

Maybe it's like one of those cases where an actor says another actor's
real name, rather than the character's name. They could have been
using the Torrance to Long Beach area to stand in for some MUCH LONGER
TRIP ;-).
