Transcript:

I SPENT TEN DOLLARS AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS LAME WALL HANGING NATE: Greetings, Lady! I'm selling needlepoint wall hangings to raise money for my junior woodchuck troop! See? It's got a familiar saying at the top, some flowers at the bottom...and it's only ten dollars! LADY: It looks a little frayed there. NATE: Yeah that happens all the time. They start to unravel. LADY: What will your troop do with the money? NATE: Beats me. Probably buy some lame safety pamphlets or something. LADY: Well, what other ones do you have? NATE: This is the only one I've got left. LADY: For ten dollars I don't even get a choice? NATE: Yeah, you're right. This thing's not worth ten cents, let alone ten bucks. But hey it's for a good cause, right? And you look pretty rich! SLAM! NATE: HA!
