In the Mallory Bash film script, there's a derelict named Charlie Siegal--quite clearly modeled after Tom Waits. The first couple times you see him, he's a bit of a mumbly, wandering enigma. His first major scene is as a comedy relief, but then he has this moment (the first image here) where he goes from rambling derelict to insightful vagabond--which I feel is pretty Waitsian.

I spent all my money in a Mexican whorehouse, across the street from a Catholic church, and then I wiped off my revolver, and i buttoned up my burgundy shirt, I shot the morning in the back, with my red wings on, I toldthe sun he'd better go back down, and if I can find a book of matches, I'm goin' to burn this hotel down.

Tom Waits, "Mr Siegal"
