This is a Cal Ripken rookie card.
It's worth a fortune.
What's the big deal? Who's gonna notice? Jessica Walters, quick.
Uh, hey, Jessica.
Hey, Matthew.
Selling any good cards today? Uh, no.
We already sold all the cards.
Yeah.
Sold them all, huh? That is too bad.
But, you know, Matthew, I am in the market for some new furniture, and What about that one? This would go great in my room.
How much for the desk? The desk isn't for sale.
Good morning, Jessica.
Good morning, Mrs.
Erikson.
So, you're sure you don't want to sell this desk? Of course, we're selling the desk.
Oh.
Make an offer.
Let's see, um How about $20.
Ok, fine, you win.
But no deals.
These cards are in mint condition.
That's great.
How much are these books? Mmm.
Strawberry.
My favorite flavor.
I'll give you $2 for it.
$2? This card is in mint condition.
This card is a collectible.
$2.
Not a penny more.
But you only paid Bobby Stanley a buck for it.
Todd! Money Fine.
$2.
Uh, do you have change for a 20? No.
Oh, well.
The only other bill I have is Well, it's just a 1.
Fine just take it and get out of here.
I need money I want money money m-o-n-e-y money money I need lots of money money Uh, hey, Jess.
Um, could I talk to you for a minute? Yeah, sure.
Well, um Well, Mom and Dad's anniversary is next week and I found them a a great picture frame, sterling silver.
Oh, Mom loves pictures.
Yeah, it's the perfect gift.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
It would be, if I could afford it.
Look, I I just need to borrow some money, I'll pay you back.
Sam, with what? I have told you a million times.
Yeah, I know, I know.
I've got to start saving my money.
You waste it on games, and candy, and toys.
For what? Well, how about for fun? Look, Jess, I don't want to sit around all day counting money like you do.
So I guess that's a no.
Of course not.
Hmm? I never give up a good business opportunity when I see one.
Let's see, today's prime rate closed at 6%, so, I will loan you the money at 3 points overtime, that is 9%.
Forget it.
I'll make 'em a key chain.
Jessica, before you sit back to contemplate your financial empire, I need you to sweep out the attic.
Mom, I don't want to spend my whole afternoon in some creepy old attic.
But if you don't do it, Sam gets your allowance for the week.
Well, that's not fair.
Yuck.
Cool.
What a cute little town.
"Karlsville the Collector's Edition.
" This could be worth a fortune.
Hello, Mom, it's Jessica.
Can you come up here? Are you ok? What is it? Over here.
I want to show you something.
It's some kind of miniature town.
Wow.
This is really something.
I wonder who left it here.
Probably the previous owners.
Could I have it? Sure.
Looks like fun.
Fun.
It's a collector's edition.
Could be worth something.
I'll sell it and make some money.
You can keep the model town.
But don't sell it.
I want you to share it with your brother.
She has no business sense.
Jessica Walters speaking.
That's weird.
Where am I? What is this place? Oh.
Hello? Who is this? Karl.
But my friends call me Karl.
What's happening? Where am I? Karlsville.
It's a small town with big opportunities.
You like a good business opportunity, don't you, Jessica? How did you know my name? Names aren't important, opportunities are.
And an opportunity awaits you.
Step outside and look for it.
Oh.
You're right on time.
I've been waiting.
We spoke earlier? Earlier? On the phone.
Karl.
I know who you are.
I I just don't know who you are.
Ah.
I'm a businessman.
I own this place.
What place? Karlsville.
It's my town.
And I'm looking for a partner.
Someone who understands a good business opportunity.
Someone who likes to make money.
I thought that someone might be you.
Look, I don't even know how I got here.
Oh, who knows how they end up where they do.
Is that a no? What kind of opportunity? The beverage business.
Beverage? You're gonna love it.
Selling lemonade.
Lemonade.
I'm looking for serious business opportunities here.
I'm not selling lemonade.
Karlsville has many opportunities.
We'll start small, see how you do, and grow from there.
Besides, this isn't just any lemonade.
It's my own special blend.
People can't resist it.
You'll make a fortune.
Deal? I get 50%? Ouch.
You drive a hard bargain.
Deal.
Deal.
Great.
I want you to meet our employee, Nikki.
Nikki, I want you to meet my new business partner Jessica, Jessica Walters.
Whatever.
She's in charge.
She knows business.
Knows what to do.
Knows how to make a buck.
You listen to her, do whatever she says.
Let's see if we have everything we need.
Ah-ha.
Now, Nikki, don't raise prices.
I wouldn't wanna be accused of unfair business practices in my own town.
And, I can't be responsible for what happens to greedy little pigs.
Good luck.
Hmm.
Time to turn up the heat.
Well, let's see how good this stuff really is.
Watch, listen, and learn.
Good afternoon.
Oh, hello, there.
Oh, what a lovely baby.
Thank you.
Lemonade? All right.
All right.
It is warming up a bit, isn't it? Yes, this will cool you right down.
Well, thank you.
Ah.
Well, that is the best lemonade I've ever had.
How much do I owe you? $1.
Oh, that's all? Well, give me 2 more then.
Hmm.
Well, thank you.
Good day.
Good day, girls.
A little something to wet the whistle if I might.
Boy, it's a hot one today, don't fill it up.
Just half way.
Here you are, sir.
Refreshing.
How much? $1.
That would be a bargain at twice the price.
Twice the price.
Twice the price.
Good day, Killman.
It's a scorcher, isn't it? Give me a lemonade.
What's the damage? $1 $2.
$2.
$2 doesn't seem like enough for such a delightful lemon beverage.
You could charge a fortune.
Fortune.
Fortune.
Thank you.
I don't think that was such a good idea.
You heard what Karl said.
And you heard the customers.
It's called supply and demand.
They like the supply and we demand more money.
You pour, I'll price.
Now what are you doing? Increasing our inventory.
That's cheating.
It's not cheating.
It's business.
Oh, money money, money, money show me the money, baby show me the money Thank you.
Show me the money ooh, money Hey, quit pushing.
Pour, Nikki, pour.
Look at these people, what happened to them? Who cares? Look at all this cash.
- Excuse me.
Coming through.
- Hey, come on.
Show me the money, baby show me the money money, money, money, money money show me the money, money Excuse me.
Excuse me, everybody.
I have an announcement to make.
We're all out of lemonade.
There's only one glass left.
Out of lemonade? How can that be? We want more! Ok, calm down, everyone, calm down! There is one glass left.
And I will be happy to sell it to the highest bidder.
What're you doing? Just listen.
I'll give you $10.
Make that $20.
$25! $50! $100! She had more all along.
She was squeezing us.
Yeah.
Please, please She's nothing but a greedy little pig.
Pig.
Pig.
Karl told you not to be greedy, but you didn't listen.
You're nothing but a greedy little pig.
Get the pig.
No.
Pig goes great with lemonade.
But it's not my fault.
Karl set me up.
Karl? The man who owns the town.
Karl could help? Of course, he could.
Karl loves bacon.
Karl! Get the pig.
No! What's happening to me? I guess our little partnership must be dissolved.
What have you done to me? You hogged the profits.
I should have known you were nothing but a greedy little pig.
You don't belong in business.
You don't have the head for it.
There she is! Here's your money! no longer in service.
Oh! Call home.
That's it.
No! Cell phone! Get the pig! No.
Oh, no! Get the pig! Get the pig! Get the pig! Get the pig! Somebody pick up the phone! Jessica.
Get the pig! Come on! Jessica? Hello? Oh, thank you, Sam.
Thank you for taking my call.
What happened? You don't want to know.
Sam, grab the other end.
W-well, you just can't throw it away.
Watch me.
Jess, it's cool.
It's evil, Sam.
No, it's not.
Look, I want it.
It's a fantastic model.
You want it? I'll make you a deal.
It's yours, on one condition.
You sell it back to me.
What? You said you needed money for Mom's present, right? W-well, yeah, but I'll give you $50 for it.
$50? A deal.
$50! All right, $50! This town ain't big enough for the both of us.
Hey, look at this.
Wow.
Why would anyone throw this away? Hey, grab the other end.
Yeah.
Ok.
All right.
All right.
No more Mr.
Nice Guy.
