The man starts talking to her and begins by offering her a job. The woman suspects his motives and keeps asking why he's offering her a job. She tries to shy away from the camera while sweeping the street.

Even when he started giving her money, she kept asking him why, right up to when he convinced her to take his numbers so that he could give her a better job. He did not, however, make it clear what the job was.
