Their conversation is filled with humor and cultural references that illustrate their backgrounds and the immigrant experience. The focus soon shifts to the arrival of Philip's nephew, Elkan Lubliner, who is expected to come work at their store. However, complications arise when it is revealed that Elkan's father has gambled away the money sent for his passage, prompting questions about family honor and trust.
