If only I had an X-Box, this would be the perfect Thanksgiving weekend. But we can't
afford one. I feel like a failure.
Don't be sad, my dearest. I am going to leave in just a few minutes to get a good spot in line in front of Mall Wart.
I'll get you the latest X-Box at a bargain price.
They probably only have about ten of those at the low price.
You'll never get it.
It would take a miracle. -- It won't take an act of God, my love.
Just the tools of the trade-
a map of the store, good running shoes, and a can of pepper spray. -- But pepper
spray is illegal in California. Oh,
It's hopeless!- Honey
it's only illegal if you get caught
and Matilda Superton never gets caught! -- You cheered me up.
Let's go have a quickie to give you energy for your shopping spree.
...
That quickie wasn't as quick as I thought it would be.
Poor Simon is still worried about the X-Box.
Let me see
do I have everything?
Running shoes, check. Map of the store, back pocket.
Let me just reach under here for the pepper spray.
Got it! I'll put it in my right jacket pocket. All ready to go!!
Ah, Mall Wart at last!
There's already people on line at the side entrance.
Good thing I left four hours early and came armed!
I'm in! And just the tenth one to get inside! I'm so happy!
I love the holidays!
Oh, look, Harold!
It's our lucky day!
There is one five-dollar X-Box left, right next to last the penny IPod.
Excuse me.
I'm going to give you guys one chance to step aside.
I'm taking that
X-Box.
I suggest you don't try to stop me.
We got here first, lady.
Too bad
so sad!
I warned you.
I take no responsibility!
Oh my God, what just happened?!
I can't see!
Hannah, where are you?!
Help! That crazy ***
is taking the last five-dollar X-Box!
Did you see what happened?
It was crazy!
A woman pepper-sprayed this couple but it all happened so fast
I can't describe her.
I saw everything, sir.
She was a young white lady, slim
with dark brown hair, about shoulder length, kinda pretty, wearing a red shirt and a blue jacket.
We cannot consider a description given by a kid.
We've got nothing. Guess the hose beast got away with it.
For Pete's sake
what is it this time? - You achieved the impossible tonight.
Your accomplishments make me feel emascuated. Could you go buy me some self-help books on tape?
I've got something in my right pocket that will snap you right out of your funk!
