Joe offers to take a bullet on behalf of a stranger whose boyfriend is beating her on the street. When Joe sees an old man making a lewd pass at a girl young enough to be his granddaughter, Joe asks him to consider his conduct and the age difference.

...stop. Any outsider could easily have seen that I was uncomfortable and not enjoying myself. The one employee had mysteriously disappeared after the phone rang, and there I was, all alone in the store with this weird man who informed the employee (when he returned) that he was my boyfriend and that I was buying him ice cream.
