Once the Good Samaritan leaves, the bartender pockets the money and tells the homeless man that he needs to get out. "There's a soup kitchen down the street! Stop harassing my customers!" When the homeless man objects, explaining that the person already paid for him, he replies "You're bothering the other customers, you look terrible, you smell, having you here is bad for business." As the insults continue, will anyone stand up for the homeless man? Will they tell the bartender to give the homeless man his money back? Will they let him be thrown back out onto the street?
