Max assures Paul that he and Jennie are fully aware they live among elderly people, and that they are succeeding at making new friends.
MAX: I wanna clarify more about the activities that on the other tape I put on a little pessimistic tone, which at times, it takes a hold of you, on account of, as I told you we are dealing with elderly people, but, like everything, we get accustomed, so if one friend or two are not to be had, so you make new friends. And so we made new friends.
We had a friend here that lives mostly retirement in Peekskill, New York, and while we were at that time, remember you were there too, to see the boys in Peekskill Declaration Day, we went to visit this man. And this man is now here, and has a wife, and a car, and from time to time we go out together, we go out to eat together...
We also have friends from Baltimore, who's a nice fellow, is happy to take us when we need. So, as far as this is concerned, we are helping ourselves, we are not helpless.
