Don't you worry about those dope smokers and nudists doen beloe there?
No, they keep to themselves pretty much.
You strike me as a bright young man.
Am I wrong about that?
I think I've got my head on my shouldrrs pretty good.
Well, that's what I mean.
How long you been out here?
Couple of weeks.
And before that?
A lot of places. Been moving around a lot.
Well, how old are you?
Twenty-three.
Twenty-three years old!
Son, don't you think you ought to be getting an education?
And a job? And making something of this life?
Look, Mr. Franz,
I think careers are a 20th century invention, and I don't want one. You don't need to worry about me. I have a college education.
I'm not destitute. I'm living like this by choice.
In the dirt?
Yeah, in the dirt.
Where's your family?
Don't have one anymore.
That's a shame.
