You ask Gordon if he has a quarter to spare for laundry. He says he used to have a quarter back in the day, but those days are long gone. All he has now is a ticket to the train station that expired a week ago. He recommends that you hand wash the sheets with lemon juice, since lemon juice helps with most things. He realizes later that it mainly helps with washing quarters, so if you do find another quarter later, you can wash it if you buy some lemon juice. Then it won't get jammed in the washing machine.
