02x03 - Money Walks

Post by bunniefuu »

(bright upbeat music)

- Rush hour, skyscrapers, culture.

The city, so not high river. So where I wanna be.

Oh man, a big photography show on Saturday?

Ah, what I'd give to be able to afford the bus ticket.

(Caitlin scoffs) Dream on.

- Oh, check this out.

A used Green Spoon amp only $99!

- Holy.

Griff you gotta get this.

Me? I was thinking more like we.

I only have $60.

- I have like $15.

- What? I play the drums, I don't need an amp.

- If we get this new amp, you can play even louder.

- Okay. Put me down for $10.

$15.

Okay, $25.

- This is totally gonna change the band.

Our sound is gonna be so much bigger

- We can go Latin.

All right, so we hit the city Saturday.

- Wait, you guys are going to the city on Saturday?

- No. - No.

(bell ringing)

- Listen up guys.

We have $110 for Mr. Watson's wedding present.

- How about we get him a cordless drill or something?

- We've decided to get a tablecloth.

- We?

- Boring.

- A tablecloth is the centerpiece of the home.

It says love, family.

On Saturday my dad's giving me a ride to the city

to buy one.

- Yeah. Yeah, Taylor's right.

Whatever it is is a great idea.

But it is a class present,

so I think someone should go with her and I volunteer.

- But...

- Well, it looks like it's unanimous.

(upbeat music)

If I'm going to pursue the art of photography

I'll have to make sacrifices,

like spending a whole hour in a car with Taylor.

I guess everything has its price.

- [Taylor] Bye dad.

- [Caitlin] Thanks, Mr. Langford.

- Look at this, I can't believe you did this.

You did this on purpose, didn't you?

Do you know how long it took me to pick this out?

- Hey, it's not my fault

your dad doesn't know where the brakes are.

Besides, I couldn't ruin that out for you,

you did that the second you put it on.

- Get lost.

No, get arrested.

- Shop till you drop.

(bright upbeat music)

(camera clicking)

- Hey, Caitlin.

They have this gorgeous Ashley Dunhill tablecloth.

It's really high quality linen, 60% off.

It's only $130.

- Stop.

- We can save $86.

- You don't save money in a store, Taylor,

you save it in a bank.

- I need $20 to-

- I don't have $20. You pay it.

- I can't, I bought this shirt.

- Then take it back.

- I can't, I'm wearing it.

Not that I sweat or anything.

- Then buy a cheaper tablecloth.

Mr. Watson doesn't care. It's the thought that counts.

- When he's writing my college recommendation,

what do you think his thoughts are gonna be?

Ashley Dunhill or cheap and cruddy?

We have to find $20.

- We?

- You volunteered for this, remember?

Not to mention, I gave you a ride. You spilled soda on me.

You owe me, you owe Mr. Watson, you owe the class.

- Fine.

Besides, I still have a little while before the show starts.

$20 is nothing, the city is full of money.

(bright upbeat music)

- [Jim] Man, I can't believe

Griff forgot to set his alarm clock.

- His idea to buy the amp, and he misses the bus.

- What a genius.

- Are you ready for this?

(upbeat music)

(phone ringing)

- Yeah.

- [Eric] We're here, man. Are you on the bus yet?

- [Griff] No.

- With the Green Spoon the sound is clean, zero distortion.

It's bright, but the bottom is rich.

Listen.

(guitar riff)

Isn't that fine?

- What do you think?

- It sounds great.

You know what?

Tell him we're thinking of a more Latin sound.

- Do I have to?

- [Griff] Yes.

- We're uh, we're thinking about going a little Latin.

- No.

- Latin? Totally happening.

But in that case don't buy the Green Spoon.

You guys need the smooth tone.

Smooth tone SQ, 10 Watts more power,

but the point is how they do it.

Bigger watts!

But unlike the green spoon, the smooth tone is smooth,

zero distortion, but the bottom is full.

Listen.

(guitar riff)

You know what SQ stands for?

- Uh-uh.

- What?

- Studio quality.

- How much?

- On sale today, Only $199.99.

- Okay, I hear you.

The boss is off sick today, you guys can have it for $150.

- That's $50.

- Hey, new it's $500.

But today only man, if he's around there's no way.

- It's too much.

- It's studio quality.

- Yeah, but we're not.

Anyway, where are we gonna find $50?

- You're in the city, all right?

There's gotta be a way to make some money.

- See where she's been.

Now, keep your eye on the (indistinct),

the others are plain.

Now the red card scores and the black cards...

Oh, another winner!

All right, thanks very much sir.

- It's a scam.

- Yeah, I know. I used to play this game at home.

I know all the tricks.

Give me $20.

Do you want that Ashley Dunhill or not?

- Put your finger on the honey and I'll double your money.

(upbeat music)

- There.

- Take another guess.

- I'm fine. Flip it.

(upbeat music)

- Let's try some jokes instead.

Did you guys hear about the butcher

who accidentally backed into his meat grinder?

Yeah, he fell a little behind in his work.

- Oh! (Eric laughs)

That was funny stuff!

Yeah, come on.

- No, thanks. I have a hat.

- The guy cheated.

- Duh, he cheated better than you did.

- Give me $30.

- Are you kidding? You just lost $20.

- No, I invested it. Now it's time to cash in with interest.

One more time.

- So why did they call seagulls, seagulls?

Because if they flew over the bay, they'd be called bagels.

Get it?

Should I tell it a little slower?

Ladies and gentlemen, can I have your attention please?

And more importantly,

the attention of your wallets to the wall!

Where you will see my friend, Brett Stevenson,

perform the most amazing trick

that you have ever seen on a skateboard.

(upbeat music)

Oh, yeah!

Yeah!

- Why would they hire you to walk their dog?

They're already walking

$70.

- Why did I listen to you?

- You know what?

If you weren't such a status obsessed princess,

you would've had that present two hours ago.

- I was trying to get the best present.

- Best label.

- If you came from a real family,

you'd understand why names are so important.

You're so evil!

- I'm outta here.

- You can dish it out but you can't take it? Quitter.

- I'll just get the present myself.

- No you won't.

- In two hours, we made $1.

- How are we gonna get that amp?

- All right, you're about to learn something, Taylor;

How to bargain.

- Bargain?

- Look, whatever I show you, just say you don't like it.

- And what if I do like it?

- Then say you really don't like it.

- [Taylor] What? I'm confused.

- Never mind, don't say anything.

Look, just give me the money.

- What?

- The money, I gave it to you at the bench.

- I gave it to you.

- Check your pockets.

The bench!

- [Griff] I still say the smooth tone.

- Yeah, but what about the green spoon?

It had no distortion and the bottom is full.

- No, no, no, that's the smooth tone.

The green spoon is bright, zero distortion, rich bottom.

- Wait a second,

did the smooth tone have the rich bottom

or did it have the full bottom?

- No, no, no, no man.

The smooth stone had the bottom, which was on top.

- Oh, and the green spoon was bright,

which is more than we are.

- [Eric] Exactly.

- [Griff] The bus!

- What?

Look at this.

It's money.

- How much?

- $70.

- $17?

- $70.

- $70.

- $70.

- We have $70.

We have $70.

- We have $70!

(upbeat music)

- It's gone.

- Are you sure you don't have it?

- Hey, right after you guys left

someone brought in this fabulous Ezra Charles amp for $175,

that will blow you away.

- No! - No!

- Whoa, man.

Okay, stick with the smooth tone, man. I'm cool.

- Thank you.

- No, no, no, thank you.

- How much do we have left?

- $20, enough for burgers.

- And banana splits.

- Who wanted the fancy labels?

- Who said she could gamble?

- Who lost the envelope?

You did. - You did.

- The only reason I came today

was to go to a photography show.

Now you made me miss it.

- I didn't make you do anything.

You just wanted to show how cool you are.

- Oh, don't blame me.

All you care about is your gag me, pink shirts.

You know there's more to life

than what you can buy, Taylor.

- Yeah, and there's more to life than what you wanna do,

like the class, and Mr. Watson.

- Sorry, kid.

That kid was here this morning.

- Hey, Caitlin.

(Eric exclaims)

- Where's Griff?

♪ Jump on my radios ♪

♪ Turn up the radio ♪

♪ Gonna drive to the rodeo ♪

- What do you mean you lost the class money?

- How do you lose an envelope with $110?

- The envelope only had $70.

- $17?

- $70. - $70.

- Can I talk to you for a second?

- What for?

- Yeah, I just need to talk.

We'll just be a second.

- This could be a coincidence man.

In a city this big

there could be dozens of envelopes with $70 in it.

- Okay, then we'll just ask where they lost it.

- Anyways, if anyone else found it

they wouldn't get it back anyway.

So why should we suffer when they lose it?

- Yeah, but this is our fault too.

- That they lost the money?

- Hey, if we had got the green spoon,

which is what we came here to do,

none of this would've happened.

- No, actually if we got the green spoon

we would have never found the money.

So it's good that we got the smooth tone.

- No, it's only good if we return the money.

- Okay, so you wanna return the amp

and give the money back to the two most irresponsible girls

in the galaxy, that's what you wanna do?

- This money was for a present for Mr. Watson, remember?

- Yeah.

- Okay, let's vote on it.

- There's only two of us.

- Griff, it's his amp too.

(upbeat music)

They only gave us $130.

- But we paid $150.

- Well, he said it was used.

- It was used when we got it.

- He said it was more used now.

- But we didn't even use it!

- With $130 we can buy the Ashley Dunhill.

- No, wait a minute. $100 of that is still our money.

- No way, you guys blew $20 on lunch.

- Your stomachs, your money.

- Okay, you guys are missing the whole point, okay?

We found the money, we returned it. You should be groveling.

- You forgot the, we kept it, part.

If you hadn't taken it, none of this would've happened.

It's all your fault.

- Excuse me? We gave it back, okay?

We're heroes.

- You voted to keep it.

- Because I knew you guys would outvote me.

Look, we have to get our $100 back, okay?

We need a better amp.

- Buy one another time.

Mr. Watson is only getting married once.

- Yeah, unless he gets divorced.

- Okay, here's the deal;

$100 minus the $20 leaves you guys with $80,

that leaves $50 for the present.

- Well, $50 isn't enough for a wedding present.

- $80 isn't enough for an amp.

Well, maybe we can sell our bus tickets

and go home with your dad,

would that make you happy?

- Hey! Hey!

(upbeat music)

Kid, wait up! I'm not gonna hurt you.

Slow down.

Hey!

What's your name?

Are you okay?

- I'm not supposed to talk to strangers.

- Good, that's smart.

Go ahead, eat your licorice.

Where are your parents? Are you lost?

You got guts not asking for help.

You know, I did that once.

I spent three days on the streets

because I was too proud to ask for help.

Man, I was shaking, totally hungry.

- Mom is in Seattle, dad's in Chicago.

- What are you doing here?

- I was on a bus going to see dad.

When I woke up, they said it was a food stop.

So I got out, my wallet was lost and my ticket.

There was a new driver but he was really mean,

he wouldn't let me back on the bus.

- Did you call your parents?

- Yeah, nobody was home.

- What's your name?

- Tommy.

- Okay Tommy, well, the first thing we're gonna do

is pay for that licorice,

and then we're gonna get you some real food and dessert.

- What about the present?

- Watson would just sooner

help a kid in need than have a tablecloth.

- What about the others? It's their money too.

- All of us wanna help? Why wouldn't everybody else?

- Yeah, I guess it's okay.

I mean, I heard you can buy someone a present

up to a year after the wedding.

- And what about the amp?

- All in favor?

(upbeat music)

Let's do it.

Tommy, we're buying you a ticket.

- You're so into it, you can call Griff.

- Thanks.

- [Griff] What?

- The kid was in trouble, so that's why we did it.

When did the bus get here anyway?

- Like two minutes ago.

- How you doing, bud?

Did you waste the whole day?

- No. No, I didn't.

You know that song we're working on?

- [Brett] Yeah.

- Well, I finished it. You ready?

Uno, dos, tres, cuatro!
