I found this exchange between Berniece and Lymon to be very interesting because we hear and see how a lot of men treat women and how they talk about them. Most men you meet at a saloon or bar are just looking for a good time. But Lymon is looking for a woman that will love him and treat him well. Seeing Boy Willie in the first part of the scene and then Lymon and how they treat and talk about women really shows the differences between them. Boy Willie is the guy who is looking for a good time and Lymon is the one looking for love. I really feel for Lymon and his struggle to find someone to care for and to care for him. Something tells me that Lymon might give Avery a run for his money when it comes to Berniece later in the story.
Comment: I also noticed the characters changes when they spoke to each other. Berniece seemed to be a lot calmer and Lymon seemed to come out of his shell a bit. I definitely noticed some foreshadowing when it came to Lymons feelings towards Berniece.
