  • ALVIN: Pete, I'd like to buy that from you.
  • Alvin points to a contraption used in hardware stores to grab things on high shelves. Pete sees what he's pointing to and gets a possessive jolt. He turns to Alvin.
  • PETE: Jeez Alvin.
  • ALVIN: Well?
  • Pete eyes the grabber. He looks down the aisle to the other end of the store where he's got another grabber hanging.
  • PETE: I do have two of them...I guess I could sell you that one.
  • ALVIN: Five bucks would seem about right.
  • PETE: (puzzled) Those things are hard to come by Alvin. It would take me two months to get another one on order. That's a damn good grabber. Jeez...I can't let that grabber go for less than.....jeez.....$10.00.
  • ALVIN: (considering, not too happy) OK. Ring her up.
