In this episode: a Ne'er-Do-Well - an old Salesman - seemingly trivial Needful Things

A thuggish man (Mr. Renard) tries to take advantage of an old man (Pedott) - who seems to have just what people need - in order to make it big.

Mr. Renard: "You wanna know something, you've got a partner now"

Pedott: "I don't need a partner.  I don't need anything.  I'm content."

Mr. Renard: "Now come on, concentrate.  Go into a trance or whatever you do and tell me what I need to know for tomorrow."

Pedot reluctantly complies but Mr. Renard pushes the limits.

Pedott: "Well, you won a great deal Mr. Renard.  The things you need, you only need once...just once, that's all they're ever needed."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

We never really get to the bottom of the Pedott's intentions or how he can do what he can do.

"I have this talent but I use it sparingly.  I must use it sparingly."
