Benny dodged Rose in case she tried to hit him with the pin and smiled as the man wasn't throwing him out immediately. "Ah! I'm Benny, sir! Benny Green! I'd shake your hand but I'm sure mine isn't clean enough for you to have to handle, sir." He really pushed the politeness by holding the hat in both hands and looked at him full of hope.

"I am an associate of Rose, nothing more, but she worked here. I figured since you're clearly a man of success and good breeding, maybe you could help a nobody like myself out? I'm sure you know someone who could use a hand for a little indeterminate time? I'll do anything, cept thing that need writing. I can do a little reading but my penmanship is shameful... That's all. I'll be out of your way if you just promised to consider? I can be quiet and be outta someone's hair, quick as a shadow."
