The Little Rascals Save the Day Page #4

the cake's ready.

What a mess you are.

It was a delicious mess.

Oh, good.

What's Waldo doing here?

Where?

Oh.

Oh, this is sweet.

Oh.

Mrs. Larson?

Ray Kaye, but my

friends call me Big Ray,

because I think big.

Well, what can I do

for you, Mr. Kaye?

No, no, no.

It's what can I do for you.

I understand that your property here,

its loan is coming due.

And I'm here to offer you

a business proposition.

And I'm consulting

on the deal.

He's so cute.

I'm gonna offer you $100,000 here and now

if you sell it to me.

$100,000!

That's a lot of money.

Now, that's a...

That's a lot of cute little people.

You wanna buy my bakery?

Yes, I do.

Why?

Progress.

Look, here is your

bakery right now.

And as you can see,

it's old, it's rundown,

it's desperately in need of a face-lift.

And here's my plan.

We're gonna tear it all down

and then in its place, this.

Say, what happened

to Grandma's bakery?

Yeah!

Who's that? It's you again.

Little short stack.

I'll tell you what happened.

Mixed-use development.

Retail stores, office space, luxury apartments.

All very modern.

A mall?

Oh, no, no, no.

Not a mall.

A Big Ray's Malltopia.

All glass and steel.

It's gonna kick this sleepy city

right in the 21st century.

What, you're just

gonna tear down my bakery?

No, no, no, no, no.

No, I wanna offer

you a very fair price,

then tear it down.

What about

the tree house, Dad?

No, don't worry about

the tree house, Waldo.

We'll uproot the tree

and tree house

and we'll have it moved

right into our backyard.

That's our tree house.

Yeah!

Not after

my daddy buys it.

Then it will be

my tree house.

Members only.

And none of you

will be members.

Isn't he cute?

I'm sorry, Mr. Kaye,

but I can't imagine closing this place. No.

See, my grandparents

started this business.

Oh, well, you can sell it to me, or lose it to

the bank in two weeks.

Unless, of course,

I don't know,

you got $10,000

lying around. No.

Look, you're gonna

get a much better deal

from me than you

will from the bank.

Well, I have two weeks

to raise the money.

Until then, I won't sell.

Well, I'm just trying

to be the good guy here.

All right.

Have it your way.

Two weeks. Bye-bye.

Grandma, you owe

the bank $10,000?

Yes.

I know.

When we win

the talent show, Grandma,

we'll just give

you the $10,000.

Oh.

Yeah.

That's first prize.

Did you hear

what we sounded like this afternoon?

We were terrible.

Speak for yourself.

She's right.

We'll never win

the talent show.

Sorry, Grandma.

That's okay, kids.

Please excuse me,

but I think I'm gonna clean up the kitchen

while I still have

a kitchen to clean.

What are we gonna do?
