An elderly gentleman, white hair, wrinkled cheeks, very think, I'd say 75, is getting off the bus.
"Hey buddy!" a teenager in baggy pants calls after him. The man doesn't turn. "Hey buddy!" the teenager calls with more urgency. The man looks back. The teenager points at a pair of gloves left behind.
As the doors close I glance at the elderly gentleman walking alongside the bus. He shakes his head, smiling. I swear I can hear him mutter under his breath, "Buddy? You called me Buddy?"
Love those moments. I think it's so interesting to visually follow one participant in a random conversation, just to watch the "fallout" or "followup" reaction.
