					WILLIE (Cont'd) 
			Besides, around here, when people 
			look at me, it's 'cause they 
			admire me. There, I'm just a 
			colored boy who can hit a curve 
			ball.

	Willie looks over and sees a GROUP OF PEOPLE at a table 
	waving at him.

					WILLIE 
			Now, if you'll excuse me, my 
			public awaits.

	Willie moves over to the group flashing them his 
	winning smile.

					CASSIE 
				(to Benny) 
			I'll see to those eggs.

	Cassie moves off. As Benny takes a sip of coffee and 
	glances at the newspaper. JIMMY (Jake Sisko), a black 
	street kid, slips onto the stool next to Benny.

					JIMMY 
			Hey, Benny -- wanna buy a watch?

	Jimmy furtively shows him a wristwatch.

					BENNY 
			Where'd you get that?

					JIMMY 
			I found it. Nice, huh?

					BENNY 
			One of these days, Jimmy, you're 
			going to find yourself in serious 
			trouble.

					JIMMY 
			Anything I can get into, I can get 
			out of.

					BENNY 
			You keep thinking that -- see what 
			happens.

	Despite the stern tone, it's clear that Benny cares for 
	this young man.
