Here we are, face to face, looking on the silver screen.

Hoping to find, we're two of a kind.

Making it go, making it grow. Together, we're going to find our

way.

Together, taking the time each day.

To learn all about those things.

You just can't buy two new spoons together.

You have to cut them.

Rick, depending on his condition, that little baby is worth 30 cents.

Edward, I hate to keep interrupting, but we're supposed to be at Bernard's by

the bay.

You know how temperamental Bernard is. If you're ten minutes late, he seats you

in the bay.

Okay, then. Rick, I gotta quit now.

I'll see you later. All right.

Uh -oh.

What?

This nickel's no good.

Why not?

Well, the buffalo's only got three legs.

What's the matter, Dad?

It's a three -legged buffalo!

Kate, it's a three -legged buffalo!

Well,

maybe they're serving his other leg at Bernard's by the bed.

is worth $150.

Wow! Ha, ha, ha, ha!

Look what it says here.

Beware of removed leg.

Get some greedy people scraping their legs off a four -legged buffalo nickel.

Those crumbums.

Don't worry, son. This one's a real McCoy.

Edward. Just a second.

Say, you look absolutely ravishing.

Rick, what would you say is the condition of that nickel?

It could be a G, good.

Uh -huh. Of course, then again, it could go all the way up to EF, extra fine.

Well, I'm T .O.

Ticked off.

of the door.

Oh, you see, I'm practicing in case I become a reporter for the National

Enquirer.

Help!

What was that?

Ah, it's just Freddy.

Poor guy was climbing up the trellis behind me.

Halfway up, he froze.

Poor guy. Maybe I better help him.

I'll offer you the opportunity of a lifetime.

Everybody knows that you're the best computer programmer in the whole school.

Right, Freddie? Oh, yeah, Rick's the best in the whole town.

The whole country.

The whole world. The whole galaxy.

That's enough, Freddie.

But you told me to butter him up.

All right, Derek, what's your scam?

Now, I've managed to secure the telephone number of my dad's bookie.

Now, if your computer can figure out the right football teams to bet on, then we

just call this guy, place our bet, and sit back and watch the money roll in.

Isn't that a great idea, Rick?

I don't like it. Me neither.

What's there not to like?

Well, betting, bookies, all that's illegal.

Ah, that's the beauty of it.

Every dollar we win comes right out of the pocket of organized crime.

Gosh, Derek, I never would have thought of that.

That's why there's hope for you, Freddy.

Sorry, Derek, you can count me out.

Although... Yeah, buddy?

It would be a challenge.

It's an interesting computer problem.

That's it, we're rich.

Derek, if I go along with this, how much would we bet?

Just a few bucks between us.

What do you say?

Well, maybe just one.

All right!

Point spreads.

I'm still a little worried about throwing in the bookie.

Just relax, Rick. You've been watching too many bad movies. I'm telling you,

there's nothing sleazy or sneaky about this whole thing.

Hello, trout.

This is the eel.

Gentlemen, as you know, over the last five weeks, we have placed five bets.

And we have won five bets.

Guys, you haven't seen anything yet.

Let me tell you what I planned for this afternoon.

The Jets are playing the Colts.

Anyway, my computer says the Jets will win by at least 17.

I mean, guys, we've got a golden opportunity here.

It's time to shoot the work.

I say we bet a hundred bucks on this one.

A hundred dollars?

We don't have a hundred dollars.

We will after we win.

I'm telling you, there's no way we can lose.

So what do you say?

Rick, have you ever heard the expression, if it looks too good to be

probably is?

I haven't.

What have you heard of, Freddy?

Uh...

We do chicken right?

Never mind.

Look, I'm sorry, Rick, but I got a gut feeling about this one. It's poison.

You can count me out. Yeah, me too.

Yeah, well, my computer's got a gut feeling about it too, Derek.

Oh, hello, Trout?

I want the Jets for a hundred bucks.

Oh. This is... The Ricker.

Tackle him! Tackle him!

Relax, son. You're using up more energy than the players.

I can't help it, Dad. The Jets just have to win this game.

It's in the bag, Rick. It was only 40 seconds to go. The Jets are up by two.

That's enough, Dad!

That's when Revenge of the Giant Frog People comes on.

glad I didn't.

I would have been out of buck.

Well, it's great to see that you're so interested in our hobby, son.

Gives us something we can do together.

Makes me feel very close to you.

Does it make you feel like that?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well, I'm glad you're so into it.

Well, I'm off. I've got a board meeting at any toys. I'll see you.

Bye.

Derek.

Amazing, sir.

How could you possibly have known that I was about to knock?

He didn't.

If he had, he wouldn't have opened the door at all.

Oh, sir, please say it isn't so.

It's getting awfully late.

foolish bed.

It's only natural that irritation would be reflected upon me, the one who knew

when to get out.

You're right, Derek. You did know when to get out.

Let's see if you can do it again.

Ooh, testy.

I'd be happy to loan you some money, but I spent it all on this new camera.

In fact, it's the very same camera that you wanted to buy.

Ironic, huh?

Derek, millions of years ago, mankind crawled out of the slime.

Do you want to join the party?

to the subject of your health.

My... health?

You leave me no alternative but to send my vice president in charge of

collecting. A gentleman...

anything to you legally that bet can't be collected because gambling is against

the law whoa whoa whoa

I'll give you an hour.

An hour, but...

Oh,

man, I'm in big trouble.

Yeah.

Hey, Rick.

Jerk, what are you doing?

surgeon something to work with.

Mr. Buffalo.

It's either your leg or mine.

Son? Yeah, Dad?

What were you doing sitting in the dark?

Guess I'm just feeling a little down, that's all.

You know how puberty is.

It's an emotional rollercoaster, Dad.

Well, I got something to cheer you up.

We received, in today's mail, from the United States Mint, our long

-awaited... Proof stat!

Hey, come on, let's see a smile!

Come on, let's look at these babies, huh?

Just think, Rick.

These coins have never been touched by human hands.

And over the years, the value of these coins is going to skyrocket.

That's really great.

You know what I'd like us to look at right now?

What?

star of our collection, a three -legged buffalo nickel.

No!

Why not?

Dad, you don't look at a coin like that every day.

You don't?

Heck no!

You don't appreciate it as much.

If you look at a three -legged buffalo nickel once a year, you'll go, wow!

what you're saying, but believe me, I'm never going to get tired looking at this

little honey.

Ah.

There it is.

How is old Mr. Three Legs?

Looks great.

You know what I love about this nickel?

Who knows where it's been?

Could have been kicking around for years.

From sleazy bar to phone booth, gumball machine.

Poor fella could have spent years trapped inside some dark and lonely

But now we've given it a home.

Doesn't that make you feel good?

Yeah.

You know, I know this may sound a little corny, but I guess what's really

special about this nickel to me is that you and I discovered it together.

Doesn't that choke you up a little bit?

Yeah.

Hey, let's not get carried away.

Dad, that's not a three -legged buffalo nickel.

It's a four -legged buffalo nickel. I gave it a logonomy.

What?

Dad, I took a file and scraped one of the legs off.

on football games with a bookie.

A bookie?

And I had a big bet on that Jets game, and I lost $100.

$100?

No, I sold that three -legged buffalo nickel to a coin dealer, and then I paid

up the bookie. Because if I didn't, he was going to send a big guy over who was

going to turn me into kibbles and bits.

Well, Rick, why didn't you come to me first before you stole our nickel?

Well, in my mind, I was just borrowing it, Dad.

See, I planned to save up, and then I...

Buy it back from the coin dealer, and then I'd switch it with the fake Buffalo

nickel, and you never know what happened.

All right, just calm down.

I am calm. I'm talking to me.

Uh -oh.

All right, first of all, you might have been able to execute this nefarious plan

of yours. You actually might just have gotten away with it.

So...

I'm darn proud that you admitted to me what you did.

That is a point in my favor.

However... Uh -oh.

What you did was very, very wrong.

One, you gambled.

Two, you gambled with a bookie.

Three, you gambled more than you could afford to lose.

Four, you stole.

And five, you tried to cover it up.

The fact that you did all those things makes me pretty darn angry.

Don't blame me, Dad.

Ever since I switched those coins, I've been feeling like... pig dirt.

That's an accurate yet colorful description of guilt.

I hate feeling guilty.

Because once you start feeling guilty, it doesn't go away.

I mean, doesn't lunch have a good time?

Like at dessert tonight, I found myself thinking.

I don't deserve this boysenberry pie.

I'm a low -down, father -fooling buffalo leg scraper.

I'm sorry, Dad.

I'm really sorry.

You'll have gotten something out of all this. The next time you start to do

something you know is wrong, you stop.

Remember what you feel like right now.

Don't worry, Dad.

I never want to feel like this again.

From now on, I'm going straight.

Good.

Together, we're going to find our way.

Together, taking the time to learn

all about those things you just can't.
