In "The Provincials," Joselito's mototaxi serves as a symbol for the performance that Nelson and his father witness during the brawl in the beach town. The mototaxi is tipped over on its side, and its deceased owner is the reason the men are fighting. When Nelson realizes that a patch of mold on the wall in his deceased great-uncle's house resembles the mototaxi, it highlights the taxi's iconic role in his experience of the afternoon's performance.
