The scene opens with the narrator, who is drunk. He tells us that he came to work because the woman he works with told him to. He says that he has not had a drink in a while, and that it is better to pass out with a partner when he drinks. The narrator says that if he passes out, the woman will take care of him. He asks the woman if she is worried about what he has seen, and she says that she has seen too much. She asks him to show her his house, and he says he will do so if she can give him more than he can drink
