The narrator laments the fact that he has not been able to return to his old high school, where he was once a student. He tells Henry that he wants to go to a large room to wash up, but the room is too large for him to do so in public. Henry tells him that the business has closed for the week, and the narrator wonders why they are making Sam's place their daily destination for such a long period of time. Henry says that he is not off-site, so he can't hang up now. The narrator asks if they are not curious about whether Sam is having a bad time or if the line has gone dead. The bastard says that they haven't heard from him all week, so they don't know what he's talking about. Henry replies that they're the only ones who are curious.
