You know, I think it's some sort of

strange typo or somethin'

They don't have any typos

in the racing section

How could 22 guys

- A hundred dollar bill

a hero out of a jerk.

- If I found the money, I'd give it back

Yeah, yeah

I believe maybe you would

- Yes, I would

- You must be the only one

around here that would

I would

that money is from this neighborhood.

Maybe it's someone

that everyone knows.

You never know.

- Why- Why'd you take his card?
