Doctor: You're a lucky lady, Mrs. Schwartzman. If your friend hadn't called the police when he did, you might have died of exposure. I want you to try to get some rest. If you need anything from the nurse, just press the button behind you. I'll be back this afternoon. Nurse: Yes, Mrs. Schwartzman? Alice: Hi. Do you have any spare change?

With Homeland Security, and security in general, she’d never have fallen asleep in that location today, but I believe there’s no benches there anymore.
