It was after the Life Support meeting, and Harold, Noah, and Cody were walking down the cold streets of New York City. As Noah and Cody talked among themselves, Harold was videotaping anything in his sight. Holding the camera up, he taped different things and different people. It wasn't until the trio stumbled upon some of New York City's homeless. Lying around the ground, begging for money, or performing needless activities to achieve money. Noah heard one of the homeless singing a Christmas tune sarcastically and wondered if that was the same homeless person he heard earlier that day.
"Christmas bells are ringing! Christmas bells are ringing! Christmas bell are ringing! Out of town! Santa Fe!"
As they continued walking down the sidewalk, they saw a homeless man holding a squeegee, trying to come up to a car to clean the windshields. The person inside the car honked his horn at the man, glaring and shouting curse words at him. The man with the squeegee simply shrugged.
"Honest living, man!" He said.
The car roared and drove off, almost hitting the man. He backs off and lands on the ground on his butt. Glaring at the car driving away, he screams out sarcastically, "Feliz Navidad!"
Harold frowned at the sight and he walks over to other side of the street. Noah and Cody followed him, also upset about what they just saw. They then saw a few police officers walking down, dressed in full riot gear for the protest that Harold's ex, Izzy, was going to have later today. One of the officers approaches one of the homeless who was sleeping on the ground. He poked her with his nightstick and she wakes up. Looking up at the police officer, she snarls at him.
"Evening, officers." She said sarcastically.
The police officer glares at the uni-brow homeless woman and raises his nightstick as if he was going to hit her. Before he could though, Harold appeared, sticking his camera at the police officer's face.
"Smile for Ted Koppel, Officer Martin!" Harold said, grinning.
The police officer lowers his nightstick, glaring at Harold. Harold merely grinned back, still filming. The homeless woman smirks at the police officers, wrapping her only blanket around her.
"And a Merry Christmas to your family!" She added, still smirking.
The police officers glared at all of them and rolled their eyes. "Right!" They snapped and walked off. Harold grinned at Noah and Cody and turn his camera to the homeless woman in her blanket. She tries to lay back down to rest but when her eyes caught Harold filming her, she growled and sat back up, glaring.
"Who the fuck do you think you are?! I don't need no goddamn help from some bleeding heart cameraman! My life's not for you to make a name for yourself on!"
Harold backed off, afraid. Cody stepped in and tried to calm down the angered lady. Noah was right behind him, making sure this woman wasn't going to try something funny.
"Easy, sugar, easy. He was just trying to--" Cody said, but got cut off by the angry homeless woman.
"Just trying to use me to kill his guilt! It's not that kind of movie, honey!" She screamed. She got up, gathering her things. She saw the man with the squeegee come up to him and she motioned him to follow her.
"Let's go." She said to him. He nodded, agreeing. She glared at the trio and screamed, "THIS LOT IS FULL OF MOTHERFUCKING ARTISTS!"
She turned away, leaving frightened looks on Noah's, Cody's and Harold's faces. She than turned back around, suddenly looking calm and friendly. She went to Harold, sniffling her nose a bit form the cold weather.
"Hey artist," She said, "You gotta dollar?" Her hand was open, her fingers rubbing together and waiting for the said money. When Harold didn't budge, she scoffed and said, "I thought not."
She walked away with the squeegee man and left the trio. Harold huffed, rubbing his head. Noah was fishing into his pockets for something to smoke because that was stressful and Cody merely sighed, shaking his head.
