The conversation is about Wally Green, who started playing ping pong at a club in New York City. At first, nobody wanted to play with him because he wasn't good enough, but eventually, he met a guy who paid him $20 to be his hitting partner. They became close, and Wally shared with him some of the things he was going through as a 13-year-old.

One day, a gun fell out of Wally's bag in front of the guy, and Wally thought that would be the end of their relationship, but the guy called him two days later and invited him to his home in the woods near Hunter Mountain.

The guy's family welcomed Wally, and he felt like he was experiencing what a real family was like. The guy offered to pay for Wally to go to Germany to learn ping pong, which was the first time Wally had ever left his circle. Wally eventually became good enough to make it to the international US ping pong team.
