Oh, hey there, Mr. Hooper.
Oh, hello, Ernie.

That is a fine -looking empty cigar
box up there. Oh, really?

Well, thank you.
Uh, well, Mr. Hooper,
I don't have any money, but, uh...

Ernie turned to leave Hooper's store,
and as he did, he was startled to see another last
-minute Christmas shopper,
who was so anxious to reach the counter
Eb
that he almost ran over Ernie in the doorway.
C
Mr. Hooper. Oh, Herbert.
Hi, Ernie.
I was just... Yeah, me too.
I just, you know... Uh, yeah.
Mr. Hooper, I am prepared to offer you the
deal of a lifetime. Ready? Yes, yeah.
Eb
C
Ta -da! Huh? Huh?
This is the finest paperclip collection
in the Western world.
Isn't that a beauty?
Now look, look, look. See there?
There is my jumbo gem
right in the middle.
Isn't that a beauty?
And over there,
right by your hand there,
that is a chrome -plated one
I got at a paperclip manufacturer's
convention.
It's very impressive.
Oh, it's wonderful,
and they're all so... so individual.
Uh, yeah, uh, well,
I am prepared to trade you
this terrific paperclip collection
for just one small soap dish.

Uh, color... pink, yeah.
Huh? What do you say, Mr. Hooper?

Do we have a deal?

Christmas, Eve,

Ernie swapping his rubber ducky,
