You go to the bars in Dawson City and they still have this thing where there's the bell.
And if you ring the bell, the person who's rung the bell is buying a round for everybody who's in the bar.
And you learn after you've been there for a while that a person is only ringing that bell because he wants the right to talk to everybody who's in there because he wants to fight with somebody.
Right.
This is somebody who's like a diamond driller who's just got paid in cash for the first time.
And he's like, now I want to fuck somebody up.
Right.
Really?
That's what they want to do when they get paid?
Rings the bell and then goes from table to table sitting around with people.

Yeah, just looking to fight.
Yeah.
