[ Ben stands at the side of the road. Behind him are the words CHING'S CHINESE FOOD in red letters painted on the side of a white plaster building. ]

Any folks lookin' for an extra hand? Don't got no specialized skills, but I'm pretty good at physical labor. Carrying heavy loads, settin' things up, doing delivery and pick-up. Could be decent help on a construction site, I'd bet.

[ He stares at the camera a moment. An awkward pause ensues. ]

But I sure as hell won't be doin' anything obscene. Even if I got only a few clams and a pocket full of lint.

Then you should know that none of that matters. It's bull. You, me. We're all the same.

No, no, see, you're not right at all! You're denying an entire culture: the commoner way! You might not know it, but commoners are truly wise: devoid of personal assistants, chefs and gym trainers, in the absence of luxurious clothing and in small spaces, they've still managed to find happiness. And survive, too! It's really quite impressive. You have to appreciate that.

IT'S OKAY XD

Next time you wanna be a funny sonvabitch, you think about this: you got nothing, no money, no job. So you travel 'cross the country with your family, just to find nothin' when you get there. Maybe your wife dies, your child. It's all regular business where I come from.

It ain't funny.
