蘇比看見一所高級餐館，剛邁進餐館的門。服務生領班的目光就落到他的舊褲子和破皮鞋上，然后就把他推到人行道上去了。Daydreaming

蘇比走到一家陳設別致，大玻璃窗惹眼的鋪子前，撿起鵝卵石往大玻璃上砸去，然后望著旁邊的警察笑，警察認為沒有人做了壞事會自己等著受罰，所以正眼看都沒看他就追著前面跑著趕車的人去了。Vandalism

蘇比走進一家不怎么起眼的飯館里，放開胃口吃了一頓。然后告訴服務生自己沒錢，要他把警察喊來。可是服務生卻把蘇比扔到街上去了。一旁的警察正看著這一幕，捂著嘴巴笑著走開了。

在劇院前，蘇比在熱鬧的大街上大吵大鬧，想讓警察抓住他，可警察對旁人說，這是耶魯的小伙子在為自己戰勝了哈特福院隊而慶祝，蘇比擾亂治安的夢想又一次破滅了。Disorderlyconduct

正當他聽到教堂的贊美詩，決定重新做人時，卻被莫名其妙地逮捕了，并被判進他夢寐以求的監獄三個月。
