he wanted to uh, he was telling me that uh, well he ca, everytime he got his check every week, the one thing that you know, he made sure he got was a crab louie, he had to have this crab louie, that was his reward you know, every week, and then he told me he had so much money for rent, so much money for this and you know, then he was just about broke then, you know, but he had everything laid out pretty much there, but he, so we went in one of the restaurants and now I can't remember which restaurant, whether it was in the hotel or the little restaurant down the street, and sat and I think I just had coffee and he had his crab louie whichever restaurant was it and that's when I asked him, you know, uh, where you from and I remember it was a big town and I thought Los Angeles and uh, you know, I asked him where his relatives, you know, who, you know, his dad, mother, he said that uh, he was [REDACTED] and that the people that [REDACTED] him were older people, they were quite a bit older, they were way up there and they never seen eye to eye on anything and they wanted him to be something else and he didn't want to be this, whatever they wanted him to be, so he just left them, he said he didn't care about them, you know, he had nothing in common with them, cause they were older people and he didn't really care about even finding his mother and dad, he had no idea who they were, and that's all I can remember right there, then
