Roger: Have you seen all these trading cards our son is amassing? Andy: It's the Pokemon game. All the kids at his school are playing it. Apparently, Jason's got every card except one, and he's been buying packs like crazy thing to get it. He's borrowed his next 37 allowances It's like a sickness. Roger: So he doesn't have one card! What's the big deal?! Eileen: Did I mention I have the Charizard Card and you don't? Jason: Only 814 times today, Eileen.
