There’s a homeless guy who hangs out near the Exxon by Manu Ginobili’s apartment complex. In order, these are the different interactions Manu Ginobili has had with him:

1. Homeless Guy approaches Manu Ginobili and says: “Hey, man–I’m–hey, man, I don’t mean any trouble. My name is Charles Stone. See, I’m trying to get to Pineville, and I ran out of gas. If there’s anything you can do–I mean, anything…” Manu Ginobili gives him the fifty-five cents in his pocket, and “Charles Stone” inordinately thanks him. “God bless you,” all that. Manu Ginobili feels pretty good about himself as he buys his Yoo-Hoo and Gummi Worms inside and even buys one of those refrigerated egg salad sandwiches for Stone. Outside, Manu Ginobili nonchalantly asks him if he wants it, and Stone says, “I’ll take it, but I’d really like some Burger King, man.” Manu Ginobili kind of pushes the sandwich at the guy and leaves.

2. “Charles Stone” does not recognize Manu Ginobili from the last time, and he walks up to him much more hurriedly. He stutters, “Hey, man, I need some help. I’m trying to get to Alexandria. I–there’s a problem with my car–and I ran out of gas.” Manu Ginobili, irritated by Stone’s lie, sneers, “I thought it was Pineville” and walks past him. As he passes, he notes that Stone only has four fingers on his right hand. How did he not notice that the first time?

3. On his way to a party, Manu Ginobili successfully avoids Stone, who now has a sign that reads, “ROAD TRIP STRANDED PLEASE HELP.” Manu Ginobili has too much to drink at the party and ends up embroiled in an argument with a Fred Savage look-alike whose name he can’t remember now over what exactly a legume is, which stemmed from Manu Giobili’s assertion that a peanut was one. There’s a knock at the door. When the host opens it, Fred Savage cranes his neck just in time to see that none other than Chazz Stone is trying to enter. Fred Savage races toward the door screaming, “That’s that four-fingered nigger who stole my bike!” He chases Stone down the street, and Manu Ginobili takes that as a sign to leave the party.

4. Manu Ginobili sees Stone one last time–outside of that Burger King Stone mentioned. Stone, without any equivocation, asks for money, and Manu Ginobili apologizes that he doesn’t have any cash on him, which, that day, happens to be true.
