(comes inside) You will never guess what I have in my pocket!
BillWell, let's see- the last time we played this game, it was a pudding cup and some sorta lizard!
(pulls out a $20) Twenty bucks- which means I now have $2,000 in my car fund, and you guys said when I did, you'd match it!
That's great, Trent!
BillYeah! (quietly, to Susan) You said he'd never be able to save that much! (Susan motions him to shut up)
So, can I have the money? I wanna get the car by this weekend.
Why the big rush?

BillTrent, I'm not just giving you money to go buy a car!
Why?
BillBecause buying a car is a big decision- and before we make it, we need to do the proper research. We gotta go online, do some comparison shopping.
(reaching into his other pocket) Yeah, ok- well, you get on that, I'm gonna go release this lizard into the wild. (heads for the stairs)
Be sure "the wild" isn't your sister's sock drawer. (Trent turns around and heads outside)
BillYou know, we give that boy $4,000, and he could come home with a car- or a handful of magic beans.
(laughs, pats his hand) It's just Trent.
BillThis whole "It's just Trent" thing is fine when he's mounting an engine on his skateboard, but buying a car is a big decision! I just wanna make sure he does it right. (goes to look out the front door)
You know, Bill, I don't think you give him enough credit.
BillReally? Look out here. (Susan comes to the door) Somehow, he just got his hair caught in the mailbox.
