[Jonny is walking down the lane. He rounds the corner to the street, and almost immediately comes running back, Eddy hot on his trail. After a brief tussle, Eddy catches Jonny and carries him away.]

Eddy: [carrying Jonny] "Kinda running on empty, aren'tcha Jonny?"

Jonny: [bleary-eyed] "Yep. I'm pooped, Eddy."

Eddy: "Well it's your lucky day, Jonny boy, for we at Ed's Beds have a top notch collection of mattresses for all of your sleep needs. All available for a one-time special low price."

Jonny: "Beds?"

Edd: "That's correct, Jonny. All our mattresses have been fully reconditioned, with a coating of Eddy's very own "They'll Never Know They're Stinking Junkyard Mattresses" paint."

Rolf: "Ed-boys!" [Rolf is at the returns counter, hunched over.] "Your mattress has ruptured Rolf's tailbone! Who is in charge of this double-crossing slumber flim-flammery?"

Eddy: "What's it to ya?"

Rolf: "Return Rolf's money!" [He throws the bed, which is really just a painted wooden board, to the ground.]

Eddy: "Mommy!" [He runs down the lane, away from an angered and aching Rolf. Rolf, although in extreme pain and moving incredibly slowly, manages to catch him and beat him up.]

Eddy: "Ow!" [bruised] "Of all the rotten no-good–how's a guy supposed to get ahead in life if he gives back all the money he suckers?"

[Suddenly Eddy stops and returns to a spot. In the middle of the sidewalk is a gleaming quarter. He tries to pick it up but is unable to. He tries a few more times, attempting to get it done with even more force on each, but the coin refuses to leave the pavement.]

Eddy: [running back to his scam] "Double D? Nat?" [He stops and covers the quarter with his hand.] "Um, Ed?" [He backs away again.] "Guys and girl?"

[Eddy comes back to make sure nobody steals it.]

Eddy: "Stay calm, Eddy. Think think. I know! I'll hide it." [He sights his shoe and places it over the coin.] "Don't go away now. Hey guys!"

[Eddy runs back to his friends. Jimmy appears. He checks to make sure Eddy is gone, and then goes over to the shoe. Jimmy picks up the shoe and looks inside. Finding nothing, he looks down and sees the quarter. He flicks away the shoe and reaches down.]

Jimmy: "I found a lucky quarter!" [Like Eddy before him, he is unable to pick it up.] "Jeepers! You're a tough nut to crack. Guard my coin with your tushy, Mr. Yum-Yum." [He puts the stuffed bear down on the quarter.] "I'll go get some muscle. Sarah!"

[Kevin peeks over the fence. He walks over and picks up Mr. Yum-Yum.]

Kevin: "Looks like Fluffy forgot his stuffed rag. Whoa. Cool."

[Kevin tosses the bear away and casually tries to pick up the quarter.]

Kevin: [sprawled on his back.] "Whoa. Ouch." [twirling a screwdriver] "Tough guy, huh?" [He tries to wedge the screwdriver under the coin, but only succeeds in bending the tool out of shape, rendering it useless.] "Man, that bites."

[Kevin, unhappy, places his hat over the coin and tosses the screwdriver over the fence.]

Kevin: "I'll be back."

Rolf: [rounding the corner from the Lane just as Kevin leaves] "WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DINGUS PIERCING ROLF'S HOT WATER SACK?"

[Kevin's screwdriver was, unluckily, thrown into Rolf's hot water bottle.]

[Rolf lifts Kevin's cap.]

Rolf: "Why would Kevin leave his hat on the paved footpath?" [He spots the coin.] "A gift from the gods."
