-Sometimes l think he's five years old.

-Open the door.

Sure, l'll open it, and you're free to go.

l've got a key right....

l got a key somewhere.

lt's in my other pants.

You wait right here. l'll be right back.

See? l knew l'd find it.

l'll unlock the door,

and you're perfectly free to....

Gone.

Okay, everybody. Regroup.

lt's entertainment time

here at The Hangout...

and you all know the rules.

When l hit you with the light,

you gotta get up and do something.

lf you don't, we do something to you.

l'm gonna go last...

because nobody can follow me.

Okay with the horns. l can take a hint.

-You're on!

-No, wait a minute. Hold it.

l don't want to.... Wait a minute.

Okay, all right.

-l see a man coming into your life.

-Do you see him leaving, too?

No, there's no window to sneak through,

like some people do.

No, he doesn't leave.

He peers into the crystal ball

and tries to think what to say next.

How about ''goodbye''?

That's too old-fashioned.

Don't you have any imagination, Miss....

Now concentrate.

Keep your eyes on the watch.

Watch the watch.

Your eyes are getting very heavy.

They weigh about 3 pounds each.

You want to tell me your name.

-What is your name?

-This is getting ridiculous.

You're fighting me.

Let's get back to the watch.

Watch the watch.

-Bottoms up.

-Wait a minute.

-When will l see you again?

-Ask your crystal helmet.

Kenny, how about assisting me

with one of my tricks.

-No, thanks. l have a little trick of my own.

-You're cute.

lt will only take a minute.

So will mine.

Trying to get away

with the mustard, too, fella?

-''Too''?

-Ain't it enough you ate six hot dogs?

Six hot dogs?

l really enjoyed them, too, pal.

There you go.

Come and get it.

That smells good.

l'm hungry. l'm starving.

l'm more starving than you are.

Where'd you get this stuff?

l borrowed it from the cook

when he wasn't looking.

Six hot dogs...

potato chips...

coleslaw, three colas...

one diet.

Six hot dogs is $1 .50.

Pop, they're the giant size.

Six giant hot dogs.

That's $1 .90.

-We don't wanna cheat anybody.

-No, Pop.

-l'll just add these up now.

-You forgot the mustard.

-Hi there, Mr. Grayson.

-Hi, Abel.

So l did.

lt looks a little less than half-full.

l'd calculate about 13 and a half cents.

l saw you run today, Mr. Grayson.

You looked like Jack the Bear.

lt kind of reminds me

of when l was driving.

l'll be out there again

as soon as my leg comes around.

You stay off the track.

l got enough competition as it is.

Go on, now.

Ellie, l want you

to take this over to the cook, honey.

That's okay. lt's been taken care of.

Mr. Grayson,

you shouldn't have paid for it.
