Joey and Willard are boys who are shown playing along the railroad tracks and walking through Cannery Row. Willard is a bully, bored and looking for a fight. He makes fun of the fact that Joey's father at some point back commits suicide by ingesting rat poison, despondent over being out of work for over a year.
