The night drags along. In their wandering, the two men encounter their friend Adriana, a toothless woman, old beyond her age. She runs towards the doors of La Chapelle carrying two parcels of leather bags and perfume bottles she tries to sell to passerbys. To summarize her life, Adriana says simply: “I'm a hooker and a thief, and everything for the crack.” She can afford a hotel room, but finds no rest there: “I'm afraid of loneliness.

The big smokers have hallucinations, they think they see the cookie in the floor and bend down to get it. With prostitution, the girls always have money and thus consume more than men, they waste themselves very fast.”
