He is a favourite of Mrs Holmes a particularly sparky resident of the centre.
Harry's delusions escalate and he starts to pass himself off as film director Terrence Malick to gain preferential treatment at the theatre while all the time the credit card company is trying to track him down. When Mrs Holmes dies Harry is left enough money to visit his daughter, however by now the credit card company's net is closing in.
