"Oh, the lady with the braces? I don't know but she better be careful down here round these convicts, we don't do background checks round here if u know what I mean. Look at Bobby, look like he ready to go back to jail, over there lurking. Every morning he sit right there by that water fountain and watch these women."
"Oh honey, there she is! Ms. Morris...come see me before ya leave! She know she don't belong down here. I just pray don't nobody bother her, and if they do she better give em all she got! Can u believe she don't know who Mr. Noble is?"
"She must not be from round here then!"
"Lord, that child...look at her, said she was in college, I wonder what coulda happened. She better get on the first bus going anywhere but here!"

"Lord have mercy Honey.."
(Crying)
"Thank u, I'll give it back, I promise!"
(Mr. Noble smiles)
"Come on, that 8:00 traffic ain't no joke! Ooh my feet!
"Thank u...(Hugs Mr. Noble)
"See, told u that's a good man... won't meet another one like him. We all make mistakes, and we both know what his was..."
(Laughter)
"Girl, that man was so handsome, it did something to me everytime I use to see him, probably how I seen the accident, I was watching for him. I knew what time he went to work, went to lunch, and went home...and believe me, I watched her just as hard as I watched him."
"OOH Ms. Brenda! U had a crush on him?"
(Opens umbrella)
"Come on, wind blowing pretty hard, maybe this old parasol won't give out."
(Deactivates alarm, run's to the Acura)
"It's open Honey...Whew, I don't know what Ima do with this left knee! (Closes doors)
Girl that man was something else. He wouldna never gave me the time of day...but yes ma'am, I dreamed bout that old man u see walking round here!"
