					JIMMY 
			Man, how come you're always 
			lecturing me?

					BENNY 
			I'm not lecturing you -- I'm 
			trying to help you.

					JIMMY 
			You want to help me, buy this 
			watch. I could use the cash.

					BENNY 
			Why not get a job?

					JIMMY 
			As what -- a delivery boy or a 
			dishwasher? No, thanks. I like 
			being my own boss. Setting my own 
			hours.

					BENNY
				(sarcastic) 
			Sounds like a great life.

					JIMMY
				(defensive) 
			Yours ain't no better. Writing 
			stories about a bunch of white 
			people living on the moon. Who 
			cares about that?

					BENNY 
			I'm not doing that anymore. I'm 
			writing about us.

					JIMMY 
			What -- colored people on the moon?

					BENNY 
			Check out next month's issue.

	Jimmy contemplates this for a beat; the thought tickles 
	him.

					JIMMY 
			Colored people on the moon... I 
			just might do that.

	Jimmy looks around the room, dangling the wristwatch, 
	looking for a new customer.
