Maybe it was the alcohol, Mac wondered. Or maybe the regret of losing a career. New York was him home afterall. Even though city life can be intimidating, it WAS his home and he loved it. Then again, he never told Volgin where he was from. Sounds like Volgin got into a lot of trouble with the big boys...huh.

"I lived in New York all my life, it ain't that bad. Least right now, I dunno when the last time it was you went. But city life can be pretty awesome. But there can be dirtbags in the city, I guess I can understand how you felt...?"

Maybe...but how can you respond well to "broke a face"?
