Collins: well you are pretty nieve I guess I believe you but you shouldn't place your trust in a complete stranger, you better wise up kid. Yer lucky I just got to the slums some of the people here are bastards.

Adam: I still don't understand people.

Collins: Adam peoples are peoples some drive fancy cars some play contact sports some like that one over there sell there bodies to strangers and some are students at a certain school but peoples are peoples. You can never perfectly categorize some one, because each soul is distinctively different in their own way.

Adam: can I sleep here

Collins: hey no one ever asks to sleep in the slums, well I guess.

Adam: thank you.
