You know, I'm not certain this magnet is powerful enough for my needs.
Mm-hmm.
[He puts a little jar of paint in is pocket.]
See, 'cause what I want to do is make a rail gun that lessens the power requirements of the compulsator by increasing the magnetic field using ceramic magnets.
Just give me the magnet!
[He puts the magnet and another jar of paint in his pocket.]
Oh. Well, Mr. Big bucks has a job and wants to show off. Thanks. What are you-- what are you doing?
It's called the wheelchair discount.
[Kevin puts only 1 or 2 jars of paint on the counter. We know he has many more in his pockets.]
Will that be all?
Yeah.
Kev? What?
Shut up.
Give me the magnet.
Fine. Be jelly. I'm just trying to help you out here.
Be that as it may--
[To the clerk] You want me to empty out my pockets or anything?
No, it's ok.
'Cause sometimes my chair sets off the alarm.
Uh, it won't be necessary. $3.87, please. See?
[To Luke] It's like being invisible. Isn't that one of those geek powers you always used to wish for?
[To the clerk] Is this the strongest magnet you've got?
Uh, yeah. $6.49.
[To Luke] That's $6.49 you could have saved. [And he wheels out]
Keep the change.
Out of a 20?
[Kevin rolls back up to the counter and puts the remaining paint jars on the counter and leaves.]
I'm sorry, um, I'll pay for these.
Poor guy, right? I mean, he's got it tough. Poor bastard.
Ok. See, what you're doing right there, you might as well spit on him. It even makes me want to steal from you. I know you're trying to be a nice guy, here, but still, I'd like to smash your face.
