Yes, I do agree with that. I think Bodie said it so well: "So, you and me, we're a mobile ghetto, hey?"

The way they are presented, they don't and they will never lead normal lives...Bodie again tells Cowley, "Besides, what would I do?" (or something similar).

They don't fit the common idea, no. Do you see them retiring? I really don't.
