"The rebellious age" is the title of this chapter's dialogue, and the narrator tells us that he was five years old when he first saw his mother's box of ice cream. He tells his mom that he's been eating ice cream for the past month, and that his period is coming to an end soon. He also tells her that he has found a new lover, but he needs to get to the woman's cell phone first before he can show it to her. He says he'll show her when he gets back, but first, he wants to know what's going on with the man he just met. He asks the boss why he chose the man over the man who got the grand reward. The boss tells him that the man in the suit was clearly in love with his sister. Maybe the rumors about her sister are true, the boss says. He wants the man to beg for his help, but the man says he doesn't need the help. He's already done his job, he says, and he can go anywhere he wants. He warns the boss that if he gets into a fight with him, the cops will come and get him. He promises to tell the cops everything about the man, and then the man will never see his sister again.
