The proper attitude for the speech is humble, helpful, and piteous. Give them a life-story , once again full of unfortunate happenings, but in this version, give them things you have "done" for the public good. Do this in explicit detail, for there lies the key to the speech. Do not directly ask for the item you want. Instead, mention it in your speech, in a forlorn, never-able-to-attain way, as something you greatly desire. Do it as near the end as the speech as possible, due to the generally short memory retention span of the listener. However, avoid mentioning at the very end, due to the suspicion this would cause. One more key piece of advice for the speech; make sure the person/thing you are attempting to gain the item/money from IS NOT someone who you have pleaded for your life from, such as in the scenario in the last chapter. This could result in a painful, and probably fatal, end.

Here is an area where the speech is good to use.
You enter a pub, but you have no money. And there it is: the newest drink that you have been waiting for a year to come out. Oh, it looks so enticing, so beautiful... but you have no money. You go up to the bartender and plead for just a shot of that wonderful liquid. The bartender would then probably double the price.

Now we use the speech.
You walk into the bar, you may have or not have money (doesn’t matter, it’s worth a try at a free drink!) You go up to the bar and there it is: the newest drink that you have been waiting for a year to come out. Oh, it looks so enticing, so beautiful... but you are stingy, and don’t want to spend your money. So you go up to the barman and begin your speech. Keying in, as is said in the directions, on your public good works. You add at the end "yes, that is the year I lost my job, due to heavy out-of-species comptition. So I got a summer job coaching a Dwarf-head ball team. It paid a little, but just enough for my daily needs. I passed this place so many time, and just wish I could have a glass of that fine stuff right there, but my family was expecting me home, bringing them dinner, so I couldn’t." Then the bartender says "You were the coach of that Dwarves-head ball team? My son played on that team, and he said that it was the best summer of his life! Are you still out of work? Yes? Well here, accept this small donation to the greatest coach my son has had. Drinks and a meal on me!"

This is obviously the scenario to be attained. And with the proper attitude, you got free drinks, and a high class meal for free! And there are benefits you can’t even see! The bartender spreads the word, and soon everyone know you as the greatest Dwarven-head coach in Mordor! A lot of respect goes in your direction (as well as more "little donations!")
