Maybe win a prize. Come on, Ernie. We'll pay you back later. >> I told you I'm not spending this money. This is just part of the money I'm coming back here with on Sunday. You guys are going to have to get your own. You'll just come back here on Sunday and spend it by yourself. >> Or you keep talking like that, we won't get any money. >> Let's look around the fair.

Well, I'm going to think of something. about this party. >> Let's meet back here Sunday at about 5. That gives us about two days to make about eight bucks. >> Yeah, Friday's almost gone. >> So, let's just try. At least we can make some money. Oh, you smell so good. Oh, you look so wonderful. It was worth $10, wasn't it, to have you wash? I could never make you look this nice in our apartment. That's it. That's what I can do. I can wash dogs. $10 to wash a dog. If it costs less than a dollar to buy dog shampoo, I can make cash money washing dogs. But if it doesn't work, I lose the dollar. >> It's just got to work. >> Hi, Monica. >> Nobody needs a babysitter tomorrow. >> So >> So I need to get some money for the carnival. I wish I was as good as artist as you. Then I could make things and sell them. >> And you do what with the money? >> Well, Bill, Ernie, and I all wanted to go to the carnival, but we don't have any money. So, we decided to earn the money. They're going to get to go, and I'm not. I don't have anything to do. >> Oh, come on, Monica. You're good at a lot of things. >> Not as good as you. You can paint and draw and get money for it. >> Well, maybe you can't draw so well, but there's lots of art things that you could learn. Well, what? Look at this. That was printed from things right out of the kitchen. And you could learn to do that. >> Well, maybe I could. This is pretty. What was it printed with? A lemon? >> No, that one was done with a potato, but you can print with anything that's interesting. I tell you what, why don't you get the paper and the ink and the stuff you need, and we'll make some tomorrow, and we can go down and sell them on Sunday. >> Where will we sell them? >> Well, the same place I sell my things. at the open market on Wisconsin Avenue. >> Uh-oh. >> I don't have any money to buy the ink and paper with. >> Gee, that's tough. Well, I guess you can't do it. >> Unless you gave me some. >> I suppose I could loan you $2 or $3. Well, let's say I'll loan you 250 and you'll pay me 50 cents interest. And I want it before you go to the carnival. >> That's not fair. >> That's business. >> That's not fair. >> Well, that's the deal. Take it or leave it. >> That's not fair. But I'll take it. >> Yes. >> Hello. I'm earning money by washing dogs. Can I wash your dog? >> Wash my dog? No. >> It'll be a great service. >> No. Wash dog. What a dumb idea.
