And here's a different take on arrancar, in Dominicanesque fashion:
Julito arrancó por ahí sin tansiquiera decir adiós: Little Julio just got up and left without uttering a simple good-bye

Julito arrancó por ahí sin tansiquiera decir adiós: Little Julio just got up and left without uttering a simple good-bye
Cuando Juancito vio al policia, abrió gas: When little Johnny saw the policeman, he left like a bat out of Hell
