Men like that frequently talk aloud their thoughts, just to hear a human voice.

You made matters pretty plain to me before you knew there was any one within miles of you.

For instance, you're not at all sure this car you've got wasn't stolen.

You're inclined to think it was.

You're broke--robbed, I take it, by the men who somehow managed to leave you with the car and a load of booze on your hands.
