The Curse of the Towne Motel

You grab the cane out of the man's hand. It slides out easily. The old man stops where he is and freezes. After a moment of silence you finally speak. "So can you help me or not?" you say impatiently. "I don't have all day." The old man finally puts his arm down and nodds. I can help you with your tire if you can pay me some money. He stretches his hand out, expecting some change. What do you want to do?
