take them.

Oh, fine.

Split-bench leather seat...

...Quadra-Coil suspension,

hydraulic brakes.

No. No sense torturing myself.

It was time to say my goodbyes.

So long, old girl.

Got something here, just came in.

Ralph. Ralph.

Absolute mint condition.

Oh. uh...

Hal, this Merc's

got your name written all over it.

Sweet jeepers,

just took it in on the tray.

Hi, kids. How's it going?

Great, take it somewhere else.

Cross my heart.

A grandmother from Muncie.

I guarantee she never took it over 20.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Oh, my God!

Unh. Unh!

Oh!

Whoa! Move out!

Oh!

Is he all right?

My first test drive.

How'd I do?

Oh...

...fudge!

Yeah, actually it's been

a pretty good year.

Well, until the Three Stooges turned up.

Yeah, ha-ha-ha. You too.

It's only because I go back with your

father I'm not bringing the cops into this.

I could help you close a deal with him

on that Olds. I mean, he really wants it.

We were just trying

to soften you up a little.

Oh, the people you'll stab in the back...

...when you're trying to save

your own skin.

What, you don't think I know that?

"Back seat's a little tight, Dad."

You two have been

trying to pull that since you could walk.

Eighty-five bucks. Cash.

What?

- That's what a new top costs.

- They can have it here next week.

- I can't get $85 by then.

- Well, when do you think you can get it?

- Well, 1970 seems realistic.

- Okay, that's it, I'm calling.

- No!

I will have it. All of it.

No, you won't. You'll never get that much.

You don't say that in front of him.

My friends underestimate the depth of

my resolve and my resourcefulness.

I like this kid.

Determination.

That's what gets things done.

So you get this done by Christmas Eve...

...or the only thing coming down

your chimney this year will be the cops.

It was times like this when you found out

who your friends were.

The treaty that formed NATO

hadn't even been thought of yet.

But on that day,

three young men from lndiana...

...had already formulated

its founding principle:

An attack on one is an attack on all.

This is X-5 to base.

I'm initiating reconnaissance

of General Kotar's evil lair.

Over and out.

Nineteen dollars and six cents.

Well, that's peachy.

- I put in 10, Schwartz. How about you?

- An entire roll of nickels.

That's two bucks, Rockefeller.

Why you barking at me?

I'm not the one that wrecked a car.

Only part of it.

And I wasn't even driving.

So what? You still owe the guy, don't you?

What's most important, Ralph,

is that we...

We are all...

- And come on in, Randy.

- Oh!

Ralphie wrecked a car? Neat-o!

I swear, you rat him out, I will show you
