Clerk: He spent the whole night at the gas station, as the sun rose, he noticed his shirt was still wet, so he asked the guy who checks the oil level for a used coat and the guy brought him a coat, it was dirty and stink, but it was enough to keep him warm.

Hoffman- You know what? Everybody loves being together during the Christmas season, he needs to go back home.

Clerk:-  he went back to the streets and saw beautiful houses with flashing lights, shiny bows, and streets like a vast white carpet, a beautiful Christmas scene.

Hoffman:- No meaning to him!

Clerk: The snow was falling lightly and the cold wind blew through the bare trees

Clerk: The snow was falling lightly and the cold wind blew through the bare trees.
So, He turned his head and saw proud children making snowmen under the naked trees, they were happy and laughing.

Hoffman-Christmas is a beautiful season meant for family,he may have built a wall around himself to keep sadness, loneliness, and depression at bay.he might seem like a strong guy, I've heard about many suicides during this season.

Clerk: Nothing mattered to him, the truth is: He didn't know if he was dead or alive, it was like a nightmare, he believed that he was a dead man walking on earth looking for his family, then he kept walking the whole morning, and  about noon, he was starving, he inhaled a chicken scent deeply then he noticed it was KFC, Kentucky fried chicken restaurant in front of him.

Hoffman-KFC? I love it

Clerk-There were too many people inside, and a long line formed at the cashier. He was broke, so he approached the counter and softly begged for some free small pieces of chicken. However, the cashier simply shook his head in response, No.

Hoffman-Holy shit!

Clerk:-He heard some people speaking in his native language, but he avoided looking at them. He had developed a fear; he didn't want them to see his feelings reflected in his eyes. Not eating wasn't so bad, but being away from his family was the worst part.He went back to the  snowy street, he noticed that his boots and socks were getting wet, his feet ached, and he slipped several times on the icy sidewalk. As the snow fell more heavily, he decided to stop walking and seek shelter under a balcony to protect himself from the snow shower.

ClerkHe heard a loud noise. When he looked up, he saw a beautiful plane crossing the sky, and for a moment, he wished he were flying it.

Hoffman- Flying it? Do you mean as a pilot?

Clerk: Yeah, before meeting his wife he studied aviation ground school in Los Angeles in 1980, and he also took some flight training at the air club in his hometown, but he gave up studying?

Hoffman- - Why? he would have been a pilot now.

Clerk-- It was the time he met Rita and she played her game to hook him.

Hoffman- I got it! you mean, She got pregnant!

Clerk- Yeah, he dropped out of aviation school to support the pregnancy

Hoffman- Damn! They always get pregnant in a finger snap when they find a stupid one

Clerk- This is it, She noticed he was a stupid guy.
