- Hey!
- Oh, no.
- C'mere, I got a whole dollar—it's a bit crumpled, but it's not like you're going to the deposit it in the ATM.
- No thanks, I'm all right.
- No, wait—come on, here's another one. Oh, opps, that's a fiver.
- That's all right, Sir. Thanks, though.
- Come on, I feel bad for last time. Are you thirsty? Hungry? You look weak. When's your next break? Come on, I'm just kidding. Have a cigarette with me; it just turned red. This baby goes on forever.
- Ok.
- Yea, I know my ramps.
- I bet.
- You need to put your break sign up?
- No, I set my own hours.
- That's what I like to hear. You know, I've seen you here before—I mean a few times. I always want to help out, but you know, gotta beat that yellow light. Here, take this water. It's clean.
- Thanks... Can I get a light?
- Yea sure... Here, just keep it. Oh, what happened to your hands? You take a shower? Just kidding, I mean—
- Yea, actually. Some man rented a room for one of my friends, but left, and she let some of us sneak in to get cleaned up.
- What happened, the wife called?
- (laughs) Yea, actually. She said he accidentally dialed and didn't know the call on was on and the woman could hear another girl's voice.
- The scruples on him... Is she hot, your friend?
- I don't know. We're all out here just trying to get by. Not much beauty left to be seen living in the dirt.
- Oh, I can see it.
- She's young; I try to watch out for her the best I can.
- Hey, I didn't mean anything by it. Brain candy, you know?
- Umm, ok. Well, thanks for your help.
- Hey...well...eh, nevermind. Light's on...
