A Very Merry Toy Store

Hi. Hi.

- Hey, guys. It's cold, come on in...

Thank you for coming. Hi.

Hmm.

- How many at DiNova's? - Two. Including Mr. Finch.

- Al Finch? - Mm-hmm.

- Huh, he was at the poker game the other night.

- Oh, yeah? How much did he take you for?

- What makes you think I lost?

- Uh, because you played, Randy.

Come on, how much? Eighty bucks?

Ha! Shows all you know.

Eighty-five, yeah.

So next time, don't be so smug.

- Forrester Toys, where you can pre-order

the all new Princess Alicia doll and snow castle.

This is Connie speaking. How may I help you?

No, ma'am.

We won't have the Alicia dolls until the 12th.

Yes, I'm pretty sure DiNova's will tell you the same thing.

No, I don't have their number.

Yes, I believe it's spelled

D-I-N-O-V-A.

V, as in "Victory."

Okay. Bye-bye. Good luck.

Paula, let me get you that chess set.

- DiNova Toys, where you can pre-order

the all new Princess Alicia doll and snow castle.

This is Will speaking. How may I help you?

No, ma'am. Not until the 12th.

Uh-huh. Thank you.

- It's a quad copter. Great for the indoors,

but I would definitely keep my Ming vases out of the way.

They're right there on the shelf.

- Connie, you've got to help me.

I need a toy for my boss's daughter.

- What age? - 7 1/2.

- My Little Pony Magical Princess.

Twilight Sparkle. Aisle 2.

- You sure she'll like it? - You might just make partner.

Oh, hi. What's your name?

- Eleanor. - Hi, Eleanor.

You look like a seasoned pilot. You want to take the controls?

There you go.

Ah, you're doing great.

Just don't lose the luggage.

- Hi. - Hey.

- My son's looking for a skateboard for Christmas,

and I heard about this one brand, called the Hurricane.

- We carry the Thrasher. You know it?

Oh, it's a great board.

Um...

would Forrester's have the Hurricane?

- They might. Let's find out.

Just make you get a top-of-the-line helmet

to go with it, then your boy should be fine.

- Why would I need a top-of-the-line helmet?

- Min, where do we keep that number for Forrester's?

- Why would I need a top-of-the-line helmet?

- Well, I'm sure you heard about the recall.

I got it, Min. We're good.

What recall?

- Hmm? - What recall?

- Oh, sometimes the wheels fly off at high speed.

No big deal. Hello, Forrester's...?

Uh, hold it.

Tell me more about the Thrasher.

Pie Face.

Is this a game I could play with my family?

- I've never met your family, ma'am.

Randy, I'll take this.

Actually, Pie Face is a great family game,

and the more people that play it, the better.

- But are the rules complicated?

- No, ma'am not at all. Very simple.

Just don't forget to pick up whipped cream on your way home.

- She was asking good questions, huh?

- Greg, if you're thinking about

getting that for your grandson,

you already got him the same truck for his birthday.

- I did? - Same color and everything.

Any other ideas?

- Three words: LED hand spinner.

Aisle 5.

- He will not be bored. - Thanks.

Hey, sweetie. How was school?

- Okay. - Not very convincing, kiddo.

Can you hand me that penguin, please?

- What's up? - Marshall Booter.

He says he's sure his bobsled's going to win this year.

- And what do you say? - That he's right.

It wins every year.

Do I have to remind you

that the Cubs won the World Series last year?

So anything can happen.

Shark.

- Greetings and salutations. - Hi, Nana.

- Hi, honey. - Hey, Mom.

How was the crowd over at DiNova's?

- No comment. - Mom!

Connie, I refuse to feed

this ridiculous obsession of yours.

You're not feeding it.

You're just snacking between meals.

Come on, talk to me.

Maybe half this size.

Yes!

Can I get an amen?

That is not very neighborly.

Don't encourage her.

- Hey, listen, I have been swamped with the store.

I don't think I'll be able to cook dinner tonight.

- I can't either. Takeout from Joe's?

Perfect.

Roast beef and mash?

- With extra gravy. And pecan pie.

- Forget the pie, kiddo. We've got ice cream.

And remember, we are on a budget.

Okay, I'm on it.

- You want to throw your stuff in the back and help me?

Four letters.

A watery conveyance.

Ends with a K.

- Bark. -

That's what my dog said.

It's also a boat.

Hath not their bark been very slow in sail.

Game of Thrones?

A Comedy of Errors.

Mr. Shakespeare.

Hey, it fits.

Yeah.

- You go to Harvard or something?

Morristown High.

You don't need Harvard, Ed. You just need a library card.

I am late.

I will see you later, Joe.

Okay, pal.

- Oh, hey, Pam. - Hi, Ed.

- Have a good night. - Have a nice evening.

- Good evening, Pam. - Hello, Joe.

My, what do we have here?

Three turkey specials, one roast beef and gravy.

Sounds good to me.

Francine, we're going to need four slices of pecan pie.

Coming right up.

- Oh, Joe, we didn't order the pie.

Compliments of the chef, me.

- Oh, you don't have to do that.

- I changed the recipe. I want to hear what you think.

Unless, of course, you hate it.

Then don't tell me.

- That's not likely. Thank you very much.

Let me ask you a question.

Are you still giving those piano lessons

out of your house?

Every day. Why?

- You got room for another student?

Grandchild?

Not quite.

This one is 68 years old,

but he's very eager to learn.

What do you think? Am I too late?

Well, it's never too late.

But why the sudden interest?

Uh, it's my niece.

Your niece.

- Yeah, my niece Tilly, actually.

She's getting married in six weeks down in Baltimore.

I'd like to be able to play the Wedding March at her ceremony.

Six weeks?

Doesn't leave us much time, does it?

Is it impossible?

Not if you work hard.

- So that means it's impossible.

- - I was afraid of that.

Kidding. When do we start?

- Call me. Thanks, Francine.

Say hi to Randy for me.

- All right, darling. - Bye.

- Good night, you two. - Bye-bye.

- I will call you. - Okay.

- Hello, house. - Mm, smells good.
