So, slowly I sorta eased my hand down to his, you know. This guy didn't budge, right? Didn't budge an inch. So, I took all the money out of my pockets, threw it on the ground, took my coat off, threw that on the ground. But this guy walks up, stands right in front of the doorway where I'm standing. I was getting really scared, so I jumped in the doorway, and I figured I was gonna stand there, let him pass me by. So, uh, we got closer, we got closer, then we got about half a block away. And about a block away was this guy ─ I mean, it's windy, it's like, like eighty mile-per-hour gale force winds, right? Right? Wet, yeah! And, uh, and down the end of the street, here comes this guy dressed in a white suit, right? With a walking stick, a cane, a white hat, with a hot top button leather coat thrown over his shoulders, walking real slow in my direction. He's getting, he's getting closer all the time. So, I tried to, I tried to make believe I didn't notice, and I sort of, like, tried to nonchalantly cross the street again! He crossed the street again. And I, wait, when I crossed the street, he crossed the street. So it gets a little closer, and there's this cat, what, you know, and he gets a little closer, and I say, 'Well, I, I don't wanna take any chances, I'm gonna, you know,' so I cross the street, I didn't even walk on the same side. And, and way 'bout, about three blocks down, you know, way down the street, I see this, this, this, this form coming towards me. If, uh, I got my, I got my other jacket, all bundled up, you know, cool, I was hustling down the street. And there's nobody else out on the street, it's, it's windy, the rain's coming down, and I got my jacket, my other one, this, this is my fancy jacket, you see. You know where that, remember that? I was down by this place, it's called the prince. And, uh, and it was a night, it was a night like last night, except it was raining like crazy, like, the wind was blowing, it was raining, and I was out, you know, down by the Prince. And, uh, all the bars closed, all the bars closed down. Did I tell you how I, how I ran into this guy here? No? Well, the way, the way I met this cat was, it was like, I don't know if I should tell, it was like, 3 in the morning, 3:30, right? In Asbury Park.
