"Surviving: Get a job as a cab driver immediately. A cab driver's job is to drive people anywhere they want to go in big yellow machines called taxis. Don't worry if you don't know how the machine works and you can't speak the language, don't understand the geography or even the basic physics of the area, and have large green antennae growing out of your head. Believe me, this is the best way of staying inconspicuous."

One of my favorite scenes in MIB is when the "bug" steals a taxi after throwing the driver, his bead seat cover and brass mirror decoration into the street the driver follows his hijacked cab, the agents arrive out in the street and agent "J" with a glance at the items in the street imediately exclaims "he's stolen a cab" and off they go in persuit.
