* *[Sally is walking down a street. When she notices a quarter, she picks it up]*
* **Sally:** Hey, It's my lucky day! *[She sees a Weight Machine nearby. She Inserts the coin in and it goes out of control, blasting a pocket of quarters out. She Finally Puts all of them in a small bag.]*
* *[Later, at an arcade]*
* **The Pink Panther:** Bring it in, baby. Happy vending!
* **Sally:** All right, all right. What should I play first?
* **Crazy-Legs Crane:** *[pointing to the Prize Claw]* **My Favorite Game!**
* **Sally:** You mean the Prize Claw?
* **Crazy-Legs Crane: Yep!** *[So, Sally puts a coin in machine and moves claw]* Oh, boy, what fun. *[claw almost pulls out a dinosaur]*
* **Prize Claw:** You lose!
* **Sally:** *[Suddenly goes berserk]* Did you see that? I almost got that on my first try!
* **Crazy-Legs Crane:** Have Fun! *[walks away]*
* **Rerun:** Well, why don't I give it a try? *[as he pulls out the quarter and puts it in the machine]*
* **Sally:** Haha, good luck. You'll…
* **Prize Claw:** Winner!
* **Rerun:** It's a pig! I'm gonna call you *Piggy*.
* **Sally:** Hmph, beginner's luck. Now it's the master's turn. *[puts another coin in and grabs a penguin. She mashes a button that says "Grab" but the claw drops the penguin]*
* **Prize Claw:** Loser!
* **Rerun:** Wow, Sally, you flipped him over. *[as Sally looks at Rerun]* That takes an awful amount of skill.
* **Sally:** Well, thank you for saying so.
* **Rerun:** Don't worry, Piggy, I'll get you a friend. *[enters a coin in Prize Claw]*
* **Sally:** Ha! If you think you're winning that thing again…
* **Prize Claw:** Winner!
* **Rerun:** There ya go, Piggy. *[shows a Orange Fox]*
* **Sally:** Oh, I loosened that one up for you. You would've never won that without my skill.
* **Rerun:** Wow, thanks for your help, Sally. *[walks off]*
* **Sally:** Hmph. I bet I win at this thing the very next time I try. Now all I have to do is not falling for that malarkey.
* **Rerun:** *[Prize Claw makes the sound of a winner. Rerun walks by with a rabbit from Prize Claw]* Heidi. *[she sighs as Prize Claw makes the sound of a winner. Rerun walks by with a cat from Prize Claw]* Jasper. *[he sighs again as Prize Claw makes the sound of a winner. Rerun walks by with a boy from Prize Claw]* Mammy! *[At a tea party]* Okay, Heidi, order up. Piggy cooked this one all by himself. Oh, he makes me so proud. *[Back at the Arcade]*
* **Sally:** I Need to win.
* **Narrator:** All Quarters Later…
* **Prize Claw:** You lose!
* **Sally:** *[Faces up and Screams]* **AAUGH!! I CAN'T WIN!**
* **Crazy-Legs Crane:** Why not you buy something from a vending machine.
* **Sally:** No.
* **Crazy-Legs Crane:** What? Why?
* **Sally:** Because I'm all out of **MONEY!!** And Because of that, I'm going home.
* **Crazy-Legs Crane:** Come Back another time.
* **Sally:** *[At Her Home, She sits on her couch and sighs]* A little mind-numbing television ought to help me forget about that stupid machine. *[tries to pick up the remote but every time she tries, she fails because of the claw coming into his mind. That Night in bed]* You've had a rough day, Sallie. But that doesn't mean tomorrow won't be better. *[tries to pull her covers but she can't because of the claw coming into her mind]* Aaugh!! *[she shivers for a few seconds, gets up and then tries to pick up the glass of water by her bed but drops it and breaks it]* I gotta win that claw! *[she runs through her closet door and gets the piggy bank, which cries a teardrop. He then runs to the Arcade. Later, Charlie Brown enters the Arcade and freaks out at what he sees when she enters]* Just once! Please, oh, please, let me win one time!
* **Charlie:** Sally, I think you have a problem.
* **Linus:** No, he doesn't. You don't listen to him, Sally. You keep playing until you win! *[takes out all the quarters that were put in the machine and pours them into a bucket. A piece of rolled paper drops into the bucket]* What's this?
* **Sally:** The deed to my house.
* **Linus:** Okey-dokey, then. Carry on.
* **Sally:** *[facing up]* If I can just win once, I'd never play again!
* **Charlie Brown:** Hey, you want me to tell you the secret of how to win on this machine?
* **Sally:** *[gasps]* You have a secret Charlie Brown?
* **Charlie Brown:** Mm-hmm.
* **Sally:** Tell me the secret.
* **Charlie Brown:** Are you ready to be a winner?
* **Sally:** Yes.
* **Charlie Brown:** Okay, Sally, okay. Face the claw. Deposit the *quarter*. Then close your eyes.
* **Sally:** Okay. *[she puts the quarter in the machine]*
* **Charlie Brown:** Now be the claw. *[while Charlie is telling her this, Sally is playing the game]* Be the claw. Be the claw. Be the claw.
* **Prize Claw:** Winner!
* **Sally:** Whoo-hoo! Yeah! I knew I could do it! *[laughs]* I'm a winner!
