Rifka's argument

Rifka: We do not need to stop and ask for directions. We would not need to do that unless, of course, we were lost. Which one is the premise and which one is the conclusion? My understanding is: P: We would not need to do that unless, of course, we were lost. C: We do not need to stop and ask for directions.
