"Yeah."
"Because that's not" You don't really want this."
"Yeah, there's a lady out here that's like that, Tracy. She found somebody out here because she was out here by herself."
"So it's like a convenient boyfriend."
"Right."
"OK, one last question. What about your survival tactic? What have you learnt how to do that you didn't know how to do before?"
"Ah, how to have thick skin! Thick skin and, ah, knowing your surroundings, knowing what's going on around you. I used to be in this little bubble, you know, oblivious, but now I know what's going on around me, a lot, and you have to, to be out here."
"And being out here, you can probably observe people better than you ever did."
"Yeah."
"Because you, literally, have nothing else to do."
"Yeah, and you do see a lot, when you're sitting here. A lot of good, a lot of bad, but a lot."
"So what have you learnt about people? I mean, aside from the nasty things."
"Ah, there's a lot of good people, though. There are a lot of good people who come up and are willing to help. I have a lady over on Chesnut that comes up to me everyday and just says hi and gets me coffee in the morning. There are a lot of good people in this city that outweigh the bad. The good outweighs the bad."
"Oh, that's good to hear."
"Yeah. You tend to focus on the bad because it aggravates you and you don't understand it."
"And also for survival."
