What is that doing
on my cake?
Oh!
Griffin.
Yeah, this could
be a problem.
It will be mine.
Go, guys, go!
Not a chance, baldy!
Go.
Oh, and it was
such a nice wedding.
Okay, I bet you're
wondering, "What's going on here?
"Who's the guy
with the bad haircut?
"And why
is he not wearing pants?"
Ouch.
"Who's that cute girl?
"Can you get her number?"
Clue. You can't.
"And who are those two?"
Most importantly,
you're probably wondering,
who am I?
Well, I can answer that.
I'm Griffin Bing.
Okay, you know what? Let's
go back to the beginning.
Morning, ladies.
Griffin, did you get the
chemistry test answers?
By GPA is saved.
Oh! You are welcome, Kirsten.
Griffin, tell me you got
the Carver High's playbook.
Dude, the whole team
owes you.
Whoo!
Go, Eagles!
Yo, Griffin, did you
score Final Annihilation 4?
Of course.
Unreal. This game doesn't
even drop till September.
So, Griffin, did you
talk to Amanda Benson?
Will she go out with me?
"No" to both questions.
What do you want, Griffin?
I've got collectibles,
comic books, action figures.
They're worth a lot.
Look, Eddie.
I love your geek...
Chic thing.
Uh, but check Amanda.
Second
prettiest girl in school.
I'm talented.
I'm connected.
But I'm not
a miracle worker.
Griffin! Griffin!
See my play.
Ugh, it's horrible.
I was on my way
to drama class
where I'm rehearsing
A Fresh Perspective
on a Freshman's Pain,
which I think is both
provocative and reassuring,
even if those
are somewhat contradictory...
Wait, Savannah.
Like... What?
Point?
Uh...
My point was... Ben.
He spilled his smoothie
all over Darren Vader.
Oh, no.
Griffin.
Not now.
Later, then.
Look, Darren,
I didn't see you there.
But in all fairness, there
are two victims here. I mean...
I am out one raspberry
mango smoothie, right?
Yeah.
Yeah?
Yeah, yeah.
And you're also
out of luck.
Come on.
Darren. Stop.
I got that stuff
you were looking for.
Yeah, he got it.
The real stuff?
Yeah.
So let's say you leave
my friend alone, okay?
Nice.
Hey, Darren.
You okay?
Mostly. All
I've lost is my dignity.
Ah, Ben.
You weren't
using that anyway.
Dude, Montana stinks.
It's in
a different time zone.
We can chat online.
Really?
You'll be talking about
people I don't even know.
Ben, hey, Ben!
Good news, Ben.
We may not have to move
to Montana
and live with your
You got a job?
No.
I've got this new invention.
Check this out.
I call it the "iGot It."
With a lowercase "i."
I got it.
Trendy... Ish.
Okay, imagine
I'm a lazy couch potato
wallowing in pork rinds and
failure, sitting here in my boxers.
I'd rather not, Mr.
Dupree. What he said.
And I realize, "Hey, my
drink's way over there."
Can retrieved.
Want the lights on?
Bang!
Let there be light!
Hey, where's the remote?
Bam!
Why, it's in your hand, man.
That's where.
Thank you, iGot It.
Actually, you know, that's
not bad, Dad. You see?
I told you one of these
inventions would pay off one day,
or should I say Saturday.
Snake Pit, the TV show?
Yeah, three minutes
to pitch your product.
The best one gets, like, a
whole mound of cash. Right!
Now, I've scratched together
the $300 for the entry fee.
Now all I have to do is...
Oh.
Oops.
Decided to do
a little remodeling?
It's just a few bugs
in the iGot It.
And what's this
gonna cost to fix?
I'm guessing about...
Three hundred dollars.
So long, Snake Pit.
Hello, Montana.
Would you two
sweep this up?
need to make
to the hardware store
before we show the house
to the realtor tomorrow.
What the...
What's this?
Um, must have belonged
to whoever used to live here.
It belongs to you now.
"Honus Wagner."
Nice haircut.
Baseball card?
Yeah. An old one.
Might even
be worth something.
Well, how much?
At least $300. Come on,
I know a place we can go,
but it closes at 6:00.
Hey, we should
look it up first.
No time, come on.
Trust me.
No, a deal is a deal!
You back out on this,
and I will sue.
I will take you
for every last dime.
out of your pathetic...
Oh, customers.
Got to go, Grandma.
Gentlemen, what can
I interest you in today?
Actually, we were hoping to interest
you in something, Mr. Swindle.
Ah, it's "Swindell."
Accent on the back half.
All right, what do you got?
Is it worth anything?
Uh,
well, uh,
it's old, huh?
You know,
it's good condition.
No creases or folds
or frays.
But, you know, that doesn't
necessarily translate to value.
You understand. I mean, who's
ever heard of this "Honus Wagner?"
I'm sorry, but this card
isn't worth beans.
But, look! Uh...
Aw, man, I like you kids.
I'd hate to see you
go home empty handed.
How about I take it
off your hands for, say...
Ten bucks?
How's that sound?
It sounds like you
think we're stupid, Mr. Swindell.
Sorry to waste
your time.
Oh, okay, okay, okay.
Okay,
you got me, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You got me. Yeah, it's
worth more than that.
Um, look, $100.
I'll give you $100 for it.
Ooh, is that the best
you can do?
Look, kid.
A hundred is generous.
Oh, yeah,
Griffin, generous.
Three fifty, no less.
No less?
Ah, no way.
Fine, bye.
Okay.
One fifty.
Four hundred.
What are you doing?
Two seventy five,
not a penny more.
Four fifty,
not a penny less.
What's your name, kid?
Bing, Griffin Bing.
Griffin.
I like your moxie, huh.
Reminds me of a young me.
All right, okay, you win.
Three fifty,
take it or leave it.
Take it.
Ah.
Three hundred
and fifty dollars.
Dude, you were like
a negotiating ninja.
You were all
slash, slash, slash.
And he was all,
"Ah, take my money."
Well, thank you very much.
Look, my dad gets to go the
Snake Pit, sell his invention,
and we don't have
to leave our home.
Hey, are there
any Pop Strudels left?
Oh, no.
No, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no.
Ben, Ben, Ben!
Ben!
Ben, whatever you do,
don't read the paper or...
So you had the
good fortune to come across it.
Turn on the TV.
There are only
Oh, it's pronounced
"Honus." And this makes it six now.
Thank you for
that. So what is it worth?
An estimated
$1.2 million at least.
How does one find a buyer?
Oh, I'll have no trouble
finding a buyer.
I mean, collectors
will be lined up for this.
I mean, the phone's gonna
be ringing off the hook.
You know, so... You know,
give me a ring. Give me a call.
$1.2 million?
Okay, Ben, I admit it.
He got me, okay?
I... I should have seen
it coming, and I didn't.
He's good.
I'll give him that.
$1.2 million?
Yeah, I know.
I was a little off.
$1.2 million.
Okay, Ben, Ben,
listen to me.
Okay, I will get you
that card back. I promise.
I will get you that card,
and you will sell it,
and your toes will never
touch Montana grass.
Okay, Ben?
