Millennium Approaches 3.4
Summary
In the South Bronx, Hannah runs into a homeless Woman standing next to an oil drum with a fire burning inside of it. Hannah got off at the last stop of the bus she was told to take, and she does not know where she is. The Woman tells Hannah they are in the Bronx and then begins to talk to herself about the annoying way she is slurping her soup. Hannah tell the Woman to pull herself together and tell her how to get to Brooklyn. The Woman tells her how to get to the Mormon Visitor's Center on 65th and Broadway. To end the scene, the Woman changes her tone and says "In the new century I think we will all be insane," just before Hannah walks away (111).
