Sometimes it pays to evesdrop.

On the bus:

Tough Guy 1: This the #7?
Driver: Yeah.
TG1: Okay, I was just checking.
Driver: Yeah, it is, but I'm gonna make another loop downtown before I start on the route, so it'll be another 15 minutes or so.
TG1: Oh, that's okay.
Driver: Okay, I just thought you might be in a hurry or something.
Tough Guy 2: No, the only thing we're in a hurry for is to watch our soap opera- ESPN.

TG1: Did you just say soap operas?
TG2: No, I said ESPN. They got some great shows.
TG1: That's true.

TG2: ...So then she says, you come all the way down here to get your Bridge Card [food stamp program] and you don't even see your social worker? I mean, who does that? She's like, you get on your cell phone or you go to that payphone and you call them!
TG1: Okay, but if I'm on the Bridge Card, you really think I pay my cellphone bill?
TG2: Well yeah, but look at Marie...

TG1: ...I'm trying to get on this new program, you heard about it? It's the [couldn't catch it] program.
TG2: Yeah, I heard about that. It sounds good, but I don't think they allow coke addicts on it.
