IT WAS THE LEAS I COULD DO.

CALVIN WHEELER!

GIVE IT UP, Y'ALL!

HEY, MOM. HI, DAD.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

DID SOMEBODY DIE?

MM-HMM.

MR. GRADE POINT AVERAGE.

MY GRADE:

POINT AVERAGE? HMM?

NO WAY,

THAT CANNOT BE MINE.

I AM PASSING:

EVERY CLASS.

NO, YOU ARE BARELY

PASSING EVERY CLASS.

YOU'RE DOING

JUST ENOUGH TO GET BY.

AND NOT JUST AT SCHOOL.

TAKE THE GARBAGE,

FOR EXAMPLE.

WAIT. WAIT. WAIT.

DID LOU AND THRASH

FORGET THE LAWN:

TRIMMINGS?

YOU KNOW WHAT?

I GOTTA TALK:

TO THEM.

YOU'RE MISSING

THE POINT, CALVIN.

WE ASKED YOU:

TO TAKE THE GARBAGE OUT.

ALL YOUR TEACHERS SAY

YOU'RE BRIGHT AND POPULAR,

BUT THAT IS:

NOT ENOUGH, CALVIN!

LOOK, WE WANT YOU

TO GO TO COLLEGE,

HAVE A REAL FUTURE,

BUT THAT'S

NEVER GONNA HAPPEN

IF YOU KEEP TAKING

EVERY SHORTCUT YOU CAN.

A GOOD ONE.

WHAT'S UP, FIGG?

FIGG? FIGG, YOU OK?

WHAT I THINK IT IS.

1947.

GOTHAM MAN.

NUMERO UNO.

EDITION ONE.

[SPRAYING]

BUT...

THERE'S ONLY

8 KNOWN COPIES

IN EXISTENCE.

LOOK A THE PRICE, CALVIN.

$3,000?

THERE'S NO WAY.

YOUR CURRENT NET WORTH

IS $144.63.

SO, THAT MEANS

I'LL NEED TO RAISE...

LESS 3,000.

$2,855.37.

NOT INCLUDING TAX.

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

IT'S WHAT?

WHAT DO WE SAY:

ABOUT "THE IMPOSSIBLE?"

OK. OK.

EXPECT...THE IMPOSSIBLE!

FIGG! GET DOWN!

ALL RIGHT.

CAREFUL.

NOT THERE,

YOU DUFUS.

JACQUES AND I:

NEED A FULL 100 FEE FOR OUR TRAINING.

[DOG BARKS]

[SPEAKS IN FRENCH]

AAH!

GET AWAY FROM JACQUES!

[GROANING]
