• Bum : [recognizing R.J. Fletcher]  Hey, I know you! You're the guy that gave me that double-die Denver mint penny! Oh, thanks a lot, Mister! That thing was worth a fortune! When I cashed it in, I had enough money to buy a whole bunch of shares, and, I got me a real NEAT watch! It's a Rolex! See?

  [shows the Rolex to Fletcher, who breaks down crying on the bum's shoulder] 

• [Outside the Channel 8 building, R.J. notices the bum begging for change]

  [the bum gets in R.J.'s away, still demanding change] 

  Bum : Hey, come on. Can't you help a guy out? Anyting?

  [R.J. finally, but reluctantly, hands the bum what appears to be a rare coin and then walks away]
