没看懂搜到的详解
I pretty basic summary/translation: they kind of confirm their shared sexuality with the vocab, scarf guy asks where trenchcoat lives and mentions he knows someone who lives nearby, apparently a mutual friend named "Pauline" (these are nicknames for gay men, likely so they don't know each others real names outside of the community for safety's sake). They gossip about Pauline, she had a bad dye job, she caught her partner cheating (although she's been pretty unfaithful too, including hooking up w/ male prostitutes), and that she's broke and on welfare (they also seem to say she pretty nuts in general). She's apparently done it with scarf guy a couple times, too. She's also recently been baited by a cop in a public toilet and thrown in jail for homosexuality. Scarf guy mentions he'd nearly been caught too: he had just finished blowing a guy in a public bathroom and ran into a cop outside, so in order to get the heat off of himself, he ratted on the guy he'd just blown and he got arrested instead. Trenchcoat is pissed scarf guy would betray a fellow gay man and leaves. Upon retrieving his book, scarf guy tells him "they cure him in the end (of the book)", alluding to the history of conversion therapy on homosexuals.
