Flipante Noa

Mom, Dad, you're not going to believe this!

School has its own currency. They're called skauros.

Teresa, our principal, has given us a bunch of them

so we can learn the… Wait.

The Fundamentals of Market Economies .

In class it seemed a lot more fun.

The thing is, we have loads of these bills and the principal has told us

to use them freely but wisely. And that's what I've done.

I covered my folder with the bills! Awesome!

Awesome Noa

Awesome!

I'm from Antarctica And everyone calls me Awesome Noa

Awesome

Look around and you'll see Everything's awesome

Awe-- awe-- awe-- awesome

Every single minute here deserves a party

Awesome Awesome Noa

AWESOME NOA

How could you cover your folder with the bills?

It's a great idea, right? It's so cool!

Yeah. No!

They're for learning to use money in society.

Buy, sell, lend, invest in ideas.

-It's the game of life. -Awesome.

We have a great power in our hands.

And with great power comes a great responsibility.

-Get it? -Absolutely.

Get whatever you want, guys! Noa's treat!

Here's the cash, honey.

-Your breakfast invitation was so cool. -It was great.

But I don't have any skauros left for my breakfast.

Can you lend me a few? I'm starving!

I don't have any left either, dude.

Oh, yeah!

They're amazing. You have to make an appointment.

Awesome.

I guess we'll have to manage for the rest of the day.

I guess so.

-Good luck, Noa. -Good luck, Minerva.

Hot dogs, pizza, fresh fruit!

Watermelon! Coconut water!

I'd love a hoagie.

And the filling, miss? Why are you looking at me like that?

CLASS NOTES FOR SALE

Charlie! I need you to do me a favor.

You've spent all your money and you want me to lend you some.

-Is that it? -No way!

How can you think I would… Yeah, that's it.

I'm sorry, but I can't help you.

I've spent all my money making copies of my notes to sell them.

Great idea.

-And? How many have you sold already? -Not one.

This is a hedonistic society,

but in two weeks we have an exam

and this will soon be a coveted product.

A start-up with a genius business idea in search of funding.

Interesting.

Well, I need someone to lend me money.

Skauros! You said you didn't have any.

-Please lend me some. -I can't.

I have an appointment for a foot massage. I'm hooked on those little hands.

But do like me and ask Raquel for some. She'll give it to you.

Raquel is giving money away?

Noa, I'm so happy to see you.

You're so nice.

Customer service is the most important thing for us.

-Can we help you? -They say you're giving away money.

Not giving it away, dear, lending it.

You give me your skateboard, I give you five skauros,

and you can get it back for six.

But six is more than five.

I see you get it.

In Antarctica we lend each other things for free.

This isn't Antarctica, this is civilization.
