PERFECT!

DANI, I'M GONNA DROP

YOU OFF AT THE STORE.

ARE YOU HAVING FUN?

I AM.

I THINK IT WORKS.

I THINK YOU'RE GONNA

START A TREND.

$1,500 IS CHEAP!

ARE YOU BEING FAIR

TO YOURSELF?

I COULD CHARGE YOU

MORE, IF YOU LIKE.

[LAUGHS]

IT'S OKAY, BILL.

I LOOK FORWARD:

TO YOUR REPEAT BUSINESS.

WELL, THE DETAILS ARE AMAZING!

BEST I'VE EVER SEEN

ON A REPRODUCTION.

THE PATINA IS BEAUTIFUL.

IT'S 100 YEARS OLD.

HOW OLD WOULD A REAL ONE BE?

400 TO 500 YEARS.

OOH.

WHERE ARE YOU GONNA PUT HIM?

RIGHT OVER HERE.

"SIR RAGS-TO-RICHES,"

I'LL CALL HIM.

OH! I'M FLATTERED.

[CHUCKLES]

[FAUCET RUNNING]

[DOORBELL CHIMES]

COULD YOU GET THAT?

MM-HMM.

IF IT'S JEREMY?

BUSY.

I NEED TO SEE EMMA.

[SIGHS]

SHE'S WORKING ON

HER DISSERTATION, JEREMY.

[JEREMY]:
WOULD YOU JUS GET HER FOR A MOMENT, PLEASE?

-LOOK, SHE'S BUSY AND--

-I GOT IT, MEG.

[EXHALES DARKLY]

CAN I COME IN?

I REALLY:

NEED TO WORK.

EMMA, PLEASE.

WE BROKE UP, RIGHT?

-I KNOW.

-AND WE SAID--

...THAT WE WERE GOING TO GIVE

EACH OTHER SOME SPACE.

I CAN'T STOP THINKING

THAT IT WAS A MISTAKE.

[FRUSTRATED SIGH]

I'M SORRY, OKAY?

ABOUT ALL OF IT--

THE ANGER, THE POSSESSIVENESS.

I GET IT NOW.

LET'S GIVE US

ANOTHER CHANCE.

I REALLY NEED TO FOCUS

ON MY DISSERTATION.

YOU KNOW THAT, AND I HAVE

ORALS COMING UP AND...

I JUST DON'T WANT TO BE

IN A RELATIONSHIP RIGHT NOW.

REALLY?

IS THAT WHY:

YOU'RE SEEING PROFESSOR MCNARY?

WHAT?

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

I'VE SEEN YOU

TOGETHER.

WE WORK TOGETHER!

AT DINNER?

YOU NEED TO GO.

YOU'RE SEEING HIM, AREN'T YOU?

I'M NOT SEEING ANYBODY!

AND IF I WAS, IT WOULDN'T BE

ANY OF YOUR BUSINESS!

NOW GO.

[DOOR THUDS]

[FOOTSTEPS]

BUT YOU JUST SAID

OH, NO, NO. I JUS SAID THAT TO THEM.

I CAN'T POSSIBLY GO.

THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE JUS CAME FLOODING BACK TO ME.

[DOOR BELL JINGLES]

HELLO.

WELCOME TO RAGS TO RICHES.

CAN I HELP YOU WITH ANYTHING?

ACTUALLY, YES.

I'M PROFESSOR ROBERT MCNARY.

I TEACH MEDIEVAL STUDIES.

A FRIEND OF MINE

SAW A SUIT OF ARMOR FOR SALE.

SHE PLACED:

A HOLD ON IT,

I RUSHED OVER,

AND IT WAS GONE.

THE WOMAN SAID:

I SHOULD TALK WITH YOU.

WE DID BUY IT.

WELL, EVEN THOUGH

IT'S A REPRODUCTION,

IT WILL MAKE:

A WONDERFUL TEACHING TOOL.

NOW, I CAN PAY YOU $3,000...

IT'S ALREADY BEEN SOLD.

NEVER EVEN MADE I TO THE STORE.

AH, THAT'S DISAPPOINTING.

COULD YOU TELL ME WHO BOUGHT IT?

WELL, I CAN'T DO THAT.

THAT WOULD VIOLATE

CUSTOMER CONFIDENTIALITY.

OF COURSE.

I UNDERSTAND.

COULD YOU CALL:

AND PERHAPS ASK IF--

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES--

THEY MIGHT BE WILLING

TO SELL IT?

YES. THAT I CAN DO.

OH. HI, IT'S JENN.

I HAVE A CUSTOMER

HERE IN THE STORE

WHO'S INTERESTED IN BUYING

YOUR SUIT OF ARMOR.

ARE YOU SURE?

IT'S FOR QUITE A BIT MORE.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

THAT WAS THE BUYER.

HE IS NOT INTERESTED

IN SELLING AT ANY PRICE,

I'M SORRY.

I SEE.

WELL, I GUESS THIS IS THE ONE

THAT GOT AWAY.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

[DOOR BELL JINGLES]

OH... $3,000.

WOW.

[]

I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT.

I'M OFFICIALLY RUNNING

FOR SENIOR CLASS PRESIDENT,

AND DAD'S GONNA HELP.

OH, HONEY,

THAT'S GREAT.

YOU RAN FOR CLASS OFFICE,

RIGHT, DAD?

YES, HE DID,

AND IF HE HADN'T,

YOU MIGHT NOT BE HERE NOW.

[CHUCKLING]

IT'S A LONG STORY, SON,

BUT, YES, I DID.

WHAT ABOUT A SLOGAN?

OH, HOW ABOUT THIS?

"VOTE FOR HANNAH.

SHE'S THE ONE.

GIVE HER YOUR VOTES,

SHE'LL GET THINGS DONE."

MM...

OKAY, WHAT DO YOU GUYS HAVE?

HOW ABOUT, UM...

"DON'T MONKEY AROUND...

VOTE HANNAH BANANA

FOR PRESIDENT."

[HANNAH]:
DEFINITE "NO."

DAD...

WHAT WAS YOUR SLOGAN

WHEN YOU RAN?

"JASON'S THE BEST,

FORGET THE REST."

AH, CATCHY.

[]

[MASK CREAKS]

[GASPS]

[FLASH POPPING]

THANK YOU, TUCKER.

WELL...

IDENTIFYING THE VICTIM

WASN'T THAT DIFFICULT.

STILL HAD HIS WALLET.

ROBERT MCNARY.

PROFESSOR OF MEDIEVAL HISTORY

AT CAPAY COLLEGE.

DO ANY OF YOU KNOW HIM?

I DO.

WHAT? I MEAN...

SORT OF.

-[GRUMBLING SIGH]

-HE CAME INTO THE SHOP.

HE WANTED TO BUY

THE SUIT OF ARMOR.

HE WANTED TO KNOW

THE BUYER'S INFORMATION.

I WOULDN'T GIVE IT TO HIM.

SO HOW DID HE GET IT?

WELL...

WHEN I WAS ON:

THE PHONE WITH BILL,

MCNARY WAS STANDING

RIGHT THERE.

HE MUST HAVE SEEN ME TAKE

THE NUMBER FROM THE RECEIPT.

SO ARE YOU SAYING

THAT HE WANTED:

THE ARMOR SO BADLY,

THAT HE BROKE INTO YOUR SHOP,

GOT THE ADDRESS,

AND CAME HERE:

TO STEAL IT?

THAT HAD TO BE WHAT HAPPENED.

AND THERE ARE ABOU EIGHT MEMBERS TO YOUR TEAM?

YES, BU YOU'RE NOT THINKING

ANY OF THEM:

MIGHT BE INVOLVED?

YOU'RE PART OF A GROUP

WHOSE IDEA OF A GOOD TIME

IS TO BEAT ON EACH OTHER

WITH SWORDS, AXES, AND MACES.

YOU DO USE MACES
