Is it difficult?

Would it be possible for me

to ride it a little ways?

Just once, for a minute?

Lady, could I ride--

Come on. Please?

Woof, forget it.

I'll get you one for Christmas.

Spare some change?

You know,

like nickels, dimes, quarters?

Why?

No reason, except she's pregnant

and we haven't eaten for two days.
