The word from the street
PHILIP
“OK, I feel like an idiot but I need that loonie back that I just gave you. Sorry.”
TONY
“Let me find it in here … I think here it is, yup.”
PHILIP
“Thanks. Yeah, I need change for the bus; I should have checked it first before giving it to you. Sorry about that.”
TONY
“Noooo problem. It’s from you in the first place so I really can’t complain, if you know what I mean.”
TONY
“Did you see Bruce today?”
PHILIP
“Who?”
TONY
“Come on, you know the guy I’m talking about. He had the scraggly beard and was shouting inside Alternative Grounds and pressing doorbells. You know the guy I’m talking about?”
PHILIP
“Yup. What happened to him? He seemed totally out-of-it the last time I saw him.”
TONY
“Well, he got himself cleaned up, got his beard shaved and everything. You know, what he told me was that he finally went down to the St. Joe’s and asked for some help and they actually gave it to him. If you ask me, I didn’t think he had it in him. Shows you what I know.”
“Anyway, believe it or not, I gave the guy a loonie; he really needed it.”
