Buddy Bulden is nothing short of a man with alcohol, love and simple life problems. But in many times it's the sort of people like this that have the worst of the luck. Even though he has met the type of people that would be willing to help him, he insists in throwing himself down and ignoring the rest of the world.
Bellocq swung the tripod to his side on an arc. He didn't touch the lights or sit down but leaned against the tripod as if it were a crutch. You've got a nerve coming in here like this. Just like a cop. (126)There is certainly conflict in this part of the story. The only way one can swing the tripod in an arc is by doing it hard. And as a professional photographer, he would usually sit down to get all the lights and adjustments right. He has no intentions in taking a picture tonight and especially not to this fellow that has just come into the room. Apparently this man shouldn't be here. This is a tense moment for a small favor.
As they hit the embarkment he impressed all by answering three complex dirty jokes in a rown. Riddles he had heard years ago. Dug into his mind for further jokes he know would be appreciated and which spread like rabies the minute they got into the school.
This is when they were meeting charlie's dad. I have to say, this is one hell of a dad to get people laughing with dirty jokes. But as long as they make sense and have a twist to them, people will find it funny. I'm guessing that once a full grown adult comes back to a familiar habitat like a school..... well, s!*t happens. Even worse when people like them well enough to let them go around the school freely without much bothering.
