What's really going on
These are almost pure texture scenes, but each one carries a small charge. The woman's repeated "You should quit" is not advice but a refusal to be engaged, and the drifter's story about a rotting body is told with the same flat calm as his confession that he smokes a lot of pot. The final argument is the most ordinary and, in some ways, the most revealing: one person wants air and daylight, the other calls the sun oppressive and complains that a trip to the lake means buying lotion and insecticide. "It's like premeditated fun," he says, and his partner turns it back on him: "did it ever occur to you that maybe you're what's oppressive?" The chapter's comedy is in the flatness, and its melancholy is that everyone is talking past each other and nobody minds.
Theme
AbsurdityNothing here connects: a street confrontation, a dismemberment story and a fight about leaving the house, all in the same deadpan voice.
LonelinessEveryone is stuck in their own loop, arguing or confessing to people who barely hear them.

このシーンについての質問
Why does the woman keep saying "You should quit"?
She is fending off a man who keeps following and talking at her. The repeated phrase is her way of refusing to engage.

He describes living in an apartment where a body was left to rot without his noticing, and admits he took part in washing the bones.
Why do the two people argue about going out?
One wants to get out of the house, and the other finds the whole idea exhausting, listing the sunscreen and insecticide a trip to the lake would require.
Why does one call the other "what's oppressive"?
The partner argues that the complaint about the oppressive sun is really about the other person's refusal to do anything, and turns it into an insult.
What does "premeditated fun" mean?
It is his sarcastic name for a planned outing, as if having to prepare for fun makes it not fun at all.
