Interview with Boyd Hayden (man on oxygen bottle) as he talks about how oxygen is delivered to the slabs, shut-ins & altitude. Bored teenagers are seen walking around outdoors. “I don’t know what we’re going to do today.” “We aren’t allowed to live out here because our probation officer says it isn’t a good place.” The talk with these two youths (boy and girl) catches their sense of poverty and boredom.
