[the family is looking at some gold mining equipment]
This is all Aunt Pat left you? A box of junk?
This isn't junk. These are things that belonged to your great-great-grandfather.
Looks like a box of old tools.
It's turn-of-the-century mining equipment.
Old, obsolete tools.
Just think, Lynn. Someday all this will be yours.
Come on. This is part of our ancestral heritage. You can't put a dollar value on something like that.
I can. 2 bucks.
My great grandfather, Silas Tanner was a pioneer. He was an adventurer. The last 4 years of his life, he prospected for gold.
You know, my great uncle Louie Louie was a prospector. He started the Great Foam Rush of aught 8.
Foam?
Our whole monetary system was based on the foam standard. Louie Louie became very stupid.
So it runs in the family.
Oh, ha, ha. For your information, on Melmac, stupid was slang for someone who was rich.
Well, I guess we'll never know how stupid my great grandfather was. He died in 1897, and this is all I have left of his legacy.
Look what I found in the canteen.
What? Look. It's a map. There's an X on it.
It's a treasure map. Gadzooks! We're going to be stupid!
