Deep beneath the modest grounds of Richly Manor... inside the secret sanctum of the Rich Cave...
Rich Cave Tower
Richman studies the Crime Computer. "Each screen brings worse news than the next..." Billfold.
SUPER-SURVEILLANCE-VISION BY VISAP "A birthday party is robbed..."
"Hand over the cake!"
"A robber is mugged by a birthday stripper..." "Hand over the clothes!"
"A birthday stripper is stripped..." "I paid good money to see some strippin'!" "Dad."
"These POOR bastards."
"To the Money Mobile!"
"First- to fill up the tank!" Fuel Dump Dump Crackle!
"IT'S FILLED TO THE BRIM."
Wrrr- Bzzt- Click. PETEEW!
"I'm off to save! (...those poor bastards.)
Meanwhile, at the birthday. "Gimme the cake!" "Gimme the clothes!" "Strippin!" "Look. Up in
the sky."
"It's a bird." "No, that's a piece of poop." "No, it's-"
CRASH
RICHMAN
"You're petty crime days are over Mr. Robber. This bag of swag ought to stop you from robbing!"
"And you Miss Stripper, here's a wad of one hundred thousand dollar bills to stick in your
G-string! That ought to buy you some clothes!"
"BUT NOW TO GET TO THE ROOT OF THIS CRIME."
"MR. DAD!" "Me?!! What the hell did I do??"
"You tried to save a quick buck by living in this filthy low-income neighborhood! Then you tried to hire
this cheap birthday stripper instead of an expensive one!" "That's right! Real cheap!" "You may as well
put up a sign that reads: CRIME PARTY! PLEASE STEAL MY BALLOONS AND SNACKS!"
"BUT- but, I'm poor!!" "Exactly, and that's how you'll stay until you start to appreciate the power
of money!"
"BUT I LOVE MONEY!!"
"Yes, but you've forgotten one of the most important laws of money..."
"YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR."
"See?" DUMP DUMP SHAKE DUMP SHAKE Empty.
"Now have a happy birthday everyone! And remember..." Chug-a-Chug Chug
"A penny saved is less than a dollar spent!"
