not a penny more.

Four fifty,

not a penny less.

What's your name, kid?

Bing, Griffin Bing.

Griffin.

I like your moxie, huh.

Reminds me of a young me.

All right, okay, you win.

Three fifty,

take it or leave it.

Take it.

Ah.

Three hundred

and fifty dollars.

Dude, you were like

a negotiating ninja.

You were all

slash, slash, slash.

And he was all,

"Ah, take my money."

Well, thank you very much.

Look, my dad gets to go the

Snake Pit, sell his invention,

and we don't have

to leave our home.

Hey, are there

any Pop Strudels left?

Oh, no.

No, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no.

Ben, Ben, Ben!

Ben!

Ben, whatever you do,

don't read the paper or...

So you had the

good fortune to come across it.

Turn on the TV.

There are only

five known Honus Wagners.

Oh, it's pronounced

"Honus." And this makes it six now.

Thank you for

that. So what is it worth?

An estimated

$1.2 million at least.

How does one find a buyer?

Oh, I'll have no trouble

finding a buyer.

I mean, collectors

will be lined up for this.

I mean, the phone's gonna

be ringing off the hook.

You know, so... You know,

give me a ring. Give me a call.

$1.2 million?

Okay, Ben, I admit it.

He got me, okay?

I... I should have seen

it coming, and I didn't.

He's good.

I'll give him that.

$1.2 million?

Yeah, I know.

I was a little off.

$1.2 million.

Okay, Ben, Ben,

listen to me.

Okay, I will get you

that card back. I promise.

I will get you that card,

and you will sell it,

and your toes will never

touch Montana grass.

Okay, Ben?

Are those silk?

Yeah. I like the way

they breathe.

Nice.

Thanks.

You ripped us off.

Oh, you two.

Look, unless you've discovered

another priceless collectible,

beat it.

Give me my card back.

Oh, no, no, no,

you mean my card.

See, you sold it to me.

I paid for it.

That makes it my card, free

and clear. See how that works?

Well, you lied to us.

Yeah, we'll go to the cops.

And tell 'em what?

I mean, what law

did I break?

It's not my fault you didn't

know the value of your card.

I mean, you ever hear of the Internet?

I'm sorry.

But this isn't fair.

Uh-huh, face it, dude.

You got swindled.

Ah, don't feel bad.

Ah, I'll tell you what.

Have a mint.

$1.2 million.

Oh, it tastes

like failure.

I will find a way

to make this better, Ben.

Shh, can't get any worse.

Mom?

Wait.

Mom, no.

Mom, no... don't send us

to Montana, not yet.

What about the iGot It?

Dad can still save us.

Whoops.

You all right?

Just a few bugs to

work out before Saturday.

I'm sorry, baby.

Let's not get our hopes up.

We have to steal

the card back.

Whoa, steal the card?
