In this scene, Ed runs into an old classmate, Rachel, who is trying to get him to copy her homework, but Ed is dismissive and offers her money to leave him alone. Rachel refuses and expresses disappointment in Ed's behavior. The scene then shifts to a troubling situation where a character named Mr. B is confronting someone, demanding keys and showing frustration. It’s implied that Mr. B is a landlord or someone in authority over the person, threatening eviction and expressing anger.

The person, presumably in financial trouble, reveals that they plan to sell a valuable item to escape their situation. Mr. B then proposes that they give him the item instead of selling it, offering to forgive their debt and cover rent for the next year in exchange. The scene highlights themes of desperation, exploitation, and power dynamics.
