After she had started giving her information, I whipped out a pen and paper and started scribbling, starting with what I remembered from the start of the conversation. During times she helped me out by repeating the information, louder. I got everything above, including the "passphrase," and even some account number. When I got off the train, I handed her the paper while addressing her by her first name "Here you go, Whatever," and kept walking. Lesson here: have a pen and paper handy on Public Transit. Carbon paper optional. On a Metra in 2000, I was in near a cell-user like this.
