The Shaggy D.A. Page #3

Excuse me, uh, sir,

but what's this ring

with what looks like

a bug or somethin' on it?

That's a scarab. The ancient Egyptians

employed it often as a talisman.

You'll notice in the painting,

Lucrezia's wearing the same ring.

According to the legend,

her powers of transmutation

stemmed directly from it.

This may or may not be,

but the museum has seen fit

to put further safeguards on it.

The last curator of the museum,

Dr. Plumcott

told me of an incident

you'd find hard to accept

since it defies

scientific explanation.

Is this valuable?

It'd be impossible

to estimate its value.

The ring is priceless.

[Curator] We'd best be moving along if

we're to finish the tour before closing.

- It's a piece of junk.

- Junk? What do you mean, junk?

The curator at the museum

said this was priceless.

And priceless is a lot of loot.

This dame, Lucy "Borgeria,"

used to doll up with this garbage.

- Borgia.

- Her too.

This was one of her prized possessions.

She wore this only on state occasions.

Who am I gonna sell it to?

Another museum?

Diamond rings, emerald rings,

those things I can move.

- Make us an offer, Mr. Roschak.

- A grand. Yeah.

Get outta here.

Anything. We gotta make a livin',

like the next guy.

I told you, there is no market

for beetle rings. Get lost.

Oh, boy. Uh...

Gingerbread Rocky Road slush.

Uh...

Kumquat Bavarian chocolate

with lime mint and, uh...

Don't tell me.

Pine-scented gooseberry.

That's only 43.

You sure?

I was counting.

What'd I leave out?

Don't tell me. I know.

Oh, boy. Uh...

Let's see now.

Avocado surprise.

Well, what'll it be?

Vanilla.

Vanilla.

I run through 44 flavors,

you come up with vanilla.

What an imagination.

You want any marshmallow on that?

Chocolate sprinkles?

Any gum balls or anything in it?

Just the vanilla.

Vanilla. Here you go. 15 cents.

Pennies. Swell.

My dad's gonna be on TV tonight.

Don't forget to vote for him.

Swell.

You know what a dime looks like?

Little silver thing

you can carry around.

If I have to run through 44 flavors

for that kid again, I'll go banana nut.

How do you like that?

Only gave me 14.

[Dog barks]

Let him go.

- Where do these go?

- Back in the truck.

It needs to have that barren look,

showing the ravages of crime.

Could have some impact.

His wife is also his campaign manager,

so try to keep the lid on her.

Campaign manager?

She's more like Sarah Bernhardt

in "Housekeeping Can be Fun".

Wait a minute. What is that?

That's Daniels' kid.

Try to work him in.

We'd like to show the family.

Yeah?

- My husband's always been civic-minded.

- That's true.

But when I pointed out

the challenges that lay ahead, he...
