Hoffman- Shit, walking to nowhere with no winter jacket and no gloves; damn!

Bellhop- He wandered with his arms around each other to protect himself from the freezing wind, which was getting worse, and the temperature was about 42 Fahrenheit.

Hoffman- A homeless, against the cold wind

Bellhop- Yeah, he felt lost and alone

Hoffman- Shit! he needed to change his clothes.

Bellhop- He kept walking on the mushy sidewalk full of snow. He was shivering, snow flocks falling into his eyes, so Dino protected them with his hands; then saw a gas station four blocks ahead, and he wanted to reach it to make some phone calls.

Hoffman- Call who?

Bellhop-His wife, to get news about his son, and he would ask for his coat.

Hoffman- I see!

Bellhop- As he got to the gas station, he shoved his hands inside his jeans pocket, but he didn't reach for the wallet.

Hoffman- What? No wallet?

Bellhop-It was inside the coat that he tossed on the sofa.

Hoffman- Damn! No wallet, no money, no phone calls

Bellhop- Yeah! he didn't even have a coin, so the only way out was begging

Hoffman- Begging? It's too embarrassing; it doesn't matter where you are; people judge the homeless as professional beggars

Bellhop-I see

Hoffman-People say they beg for drugs or are lazy; I'm sure beggars do not choose to end up on the streets.

Bellhop- Yeah, you're right! We never know their stories

Hoffman- So what happened?

Bellhop-Dino walked forward to the nearest driver, who was pumping gas, and told him that he had left his wallet at home and needed just a coin to make a phone call.

Hoffman- So?

Bellhop: The guy didn't even look at him; he pretended not listen to him, then Dino walked backward.

Hoffman- I bet he might have thought," it's a fucking homeless to mess up my life.

Bellhop: Yeah!

Hoffman: Fucking people!

Bellhop- He noticed that inside the car there  was a woman picking her nose with  a huge bible on her lap.

Hoffman- I bet they might have Gone to church.

Bellhop-  Yeah!, He gave up begging for a while.
