For a dude who's wearing a heavy stocking cap and a parka when the temperature is in the 60s and 70s. Maybe he needs the money to buy a waterproof windbreaker?

... but I did have to chuckle a little. My mom always warned me to stay away from "drug addicts wearing parkas in the summer". She might have been right about them feeling cold when they shouldn't because they screwed up their nervous system, but it still amuses me to remember her very specific fears.

Maybe after beating up Perez
