He stares at the board. Only five dollars. Only five dollars for enough to eat for both his sister and himself. So he steps into the lineup and got two burgers. Unwrapping one of them, he calls over Ginny and hands her the other sandwich. She runs away. Nicky looks past her as she runs, and sees Jamal, who he knew would have an empty pocket again today, therefore an empty stomach as well. Nicky walks over and waves the bill in Jamal's face. Eventually, Jamal takes it, and asks, "Why are you giving this to me?"
"You need it, don't you?" Nicky holds up his burger, then points at Ginny, "We don't. We have enough."

"Tell us about why you did this, Mr Nicholas Norman. I mean, this is a lot of money we're talking about, more than half the share your fortune."
"I don't need it. I've got more than enough."
That's it, hope you liked it. I mean, I've always said, if you have enough to go by and to make you happy, you've got it better than more than 2/3 of the world. If you have enough, I just don't understand those people who want more and more and more! Seriously! Any ways, maybe we all need a day homeless. Hey, guess what? We could read a book about it or watch Precious and we'll live like a whole few days like that!!!!!!!!

Just to say, Nicky's based on this awesome man!
