On the other hand, his remarks on the bus imply that Joe has matured as a person and finally has a chance to get his act together and live something resembling a normal life rather than continuing on a downward spiral of life as a (usually unsuccessful) male prostitute.

** An in-universe example is the scene where Ratso walks over to an older woman and younger man sitting at a table and greets the man with a familiar playful tone, telling Joe that the young man is another male prostitute who works for O'Daniel. When we later find out that O'Daniel is a crazy street preacher and not a pimp, it's obvious that Ratso didn't know the young man at the table at all and that the whole thing was just a ridiculous ruse to trick Joe.
