Okay, where do you live at?
City Center Mall.
Okay.
First floor?
Yep.
There is an evacuation floor there.
Alright, how in the hell do I get out?
I don't have any transportation.
Okay.
How in the hell do I get out of here?
Even if I had transportation, where would I go to stay away from water?
Okay, Red River High School, I believe, is the...
Right, I have no idea where it is.
There's no way I can walk over there.
What's your address, sir?

And where's your phone number?

Are you handicapped at all?
Well, I've got arthritis in both hips and both ankles.
I had a heart attack last December.
Okay.

Alright.
Okay?
Thank you.
