A Clean, Well lighted place Response

"You should have killed yourself last week,"
I picked this because even though the man was deaf her communicated with the men and could probably understand what he said.  I find it interesting that he never even commented abou what he said and just went on like he didn't notice it.

"light was all it needed and a certain cleanness and order."
In this quote he is talking to himself about what their cafe needs to have.  He seems to find it important that there be a clean, sfae place for people.  He wants there to be a place for anyone who wants or needs somewhere to eat or have a drink that isn't a loud, dark bar.  

"We are of two different kinds," the older waiter said. He was now dressed to go home. "It is not only a question of youth and confidence although those things are very beautiful. Each night I am reluctant to close up because there may be some one who needs the cafe." 

This is important because he is talking about why the cafe should stay open late.  He says that someone might need the cafe.  He is also mentioning that they are two different kinds of people, because the younger one just wants to get home, but the older one wants there to be a place for anyone who needs it.  He cares more about the customer than getting home before 3:00.
