Louisa: Saw you in town Sunday

Scott: Oh yeah?

Louisa: With your mum. Carrying a bowl of something.

Scott: That was soup for Old Pete. He’s this homeless guy we visit sometimes.

Louisa: Wow, that’s nice

Scott: Well, he's an old friend of my dad’s. Used to give him stock tips.

Louisa: Your dad took stock tips from a homeless guy?

Scott: He's an expert. Reads all the business pages. Fishes them out of bins.

Jack: Didn’t your dad go bankrupt and flee the country?

Scott: Yeah, but that was cos he started listening to his broker instead of Old Pete
