This clip starts out as an innocent joke and turns into what could be a David Mamet play. The dialogue turns and twists into meta layers of dissecting itself, to slowly becoming an epic description of two men bonding without realizing the value of their awkward meeting. This is how life trolls all of us. ;)

+Arthur N I don't know if it's so much of that. A lot of older people have hilarious mannerisms and quite frankly could not care less that what they say might be offensive,, politically incorrect, or too direct. They have lived long enough to learn not to give a shit what people think. However, in a lot of cases, they get offended when younger people do/say similar things and if a younger individual has an "I don't give a shit" attitude, they're defiant and disrespectful, in their eyes. I don't know, they're just ironic and ramble on about things and often times just say hilarious things. I'm not saying all of that is relevant to this man, I just mean older people in general.

Thank you for your kindness at helping out those homeless people during the earthquarke event in China, Mr.Mike. You're such a kind man. I want to have a teacher like you telling your own storis. I'm a Chinese student at the UOA.

I don't think he was awkward but he's just out of this "generation". Andrew expects people to go on their way and just do what they have to do without interacting with "strangers" but seeing this interaction has made me realize that we, humans, really need to sometimes just stop and interact with each other. you can see andrew getting uncomfortable (although hes almost always awkward) because hes not used to talking for so long. you should've been more respectful, mindful, and compassionate
