Here is STANLEY. STANLEY is BERT'S friend. STANLEY's Auntie runs the corner bodega - where BERT cruzs by every now and again. STANLEY brings the tube down from his pad and sets it up right next to the apples so he could hang with the hoodies and talk about the trombone player and the presidential candidate and the ass that is embarrassing us all. He tosses the football back to the kids on the street when it comes his way. He shouts up to Ms Em when someone is down knocking on her door to let em in. He has a coffee with STANLEY on the stoop. The thing about STANLEY - is that he has a bottle cap collection that has completely covered the entire fire escape ladder from the ground floor to the fourth floor. Every inch of hot black metal has had a bottle cap glued to it by STANLEY's very own hands. Except where you walk. Because STANLEY knows that would not be safe. STANLEY loves his street. He loves his neighbors. He always has a smile and a 'Howd u doin ?" for us all. STANLEY - we need you - every day. Don't ever change.
