Patrick leaves the building but stops for a moment to get his mail; then he catches a taxicab. He still didn’t have a car at that time.

His first stop is the convenience store, to buy cigarettes.

After making his purchase, he goes out to the sidewalk to have a smoke. That’s where he first saw Suzy Strummer, obviously at the time he didn’t know what her name was.

Suzy scolded him for smoking there. Suzy: Do you want to put out your cigarette? This is a tobacco-free zone, you know? This is how Pat knew that he and Suzy would never make a good match, but he still found here very attractive.
