[Metal creaking]

Argh-ya!

Whew! That is enough for today!

I need a break.

[Ice cream truck bell jingles]

The ice cream man!

Oh, boy! Oh, boy! Oh, boy!

Ice cream!

That is not money.

Dad, money, ice cream--now!

Hmm? What?

Well, let's see here.

Hmm. No.

Ok--

whoa, there! Hey, what's this?

Oop!

Hey, you've got money coming out of your ears, son!

Ta-da!

Ha ha ha!

Mom!

Mom, money, ice cream--now!

Mmm? What?

Mom, give me some money for the ice cream truck! Hurry!

Oh, let's see.

[Humming]

[Ice cream truck bell jingles]

Hmm. Here's a nickel.

And here's another nickel.

Oh! Here's a quarter.

No. Wait. It's only a nickel.

Come on, mom! Move it!

Dexter!

Sorry!

[Slurping]

How come I always--

[drip drip]

Mmm!

[Slurp]

Huh?

Hey, I've got drips coming out of my popsicle.

Ahh...

[Cash register rings]

Hey, there's a quarter!

It's a--

mmm...

Yee-ha!

Woo woo woo!

I do not think money is going to be a problem today.

Huh?

Give me a chocolate kronksicle.

I have to make it to the ice cream.

Wait!

Wait!

Aw, drat!

[Clang]

Presto!

Yoo-hoo! Mr. Ice cream man!

Yoo-hoo!

Yes. Hello.

And now that I finally have your undivided attention--

hey! Hey!

Well, sooner or later--what?

Ah, very clever.

Here's your paper!

Wah!

I've got some good news, and I've got some bad news, Mr. Ice cream man.

Aha!

Good news is, today I get the ice cream.

The bad news is...

Father: Hey, the ice cream man!

What the...

Wait! I've got some money!

Dad, no!

Father: Whoa!

Father: Hmm. Never seen this place before.

Is this a converted den? Strange.

No more mister nice guy.

Halt!

That is what I thought!

Bang!

Argh!

Man: That you, Dexter?

Um, you mind letting me drive my truck?

Ah ha ha! Whoops! Sorry, mailman Mel.

I thought this was the ice cream truck.

Well, what do you know. It's not.

Look! There it is.

Get alongside him.

You're kidding, right?

[Tires squeal]

Oh, no!

Whoa!

Why won't you stop for me?

[Tires squeal]

You are wanting to know why?

You mean you do not remember?

Remember what?

April 19, one year ago.

It is first day on job.

Everything is going great...

Until you come.

You wanted most expensive ice cream.

I make suggestion of cheaper ice cream.

But no. You want expensive one.

And after I am giving you ice cream,

you pay with pennies.

Do you know how long it took me to count those pennies?

Um, at an average human rate,

I'd estimate about 5 hours and 33 minutes.

Precisely.

And when the counting was done,

it is time to put pennies in safe,

when I am noticing my shoelace is untied.

Now, I couldn't very well stop to tie my shoes

since somebody had given me heavy jar of pennies to hold

and the ice cream man rules say to keep any amount of money over a dollar in the safe.

So I trip, and I break my tooth. The pain, it is so bad.

My girlfriend left me. I lose apartment. I lose car.

I'm forced to live under freeway with wild animals.

I can't even eat ice cream because of the pain,

all because of your stupid pennies!

Argh!

[Gasping]

Ah heh heh.

You know, I still have all of my baby teeth.

Um, I'm sorry.

I'm really, really, really, really sorry.

Forget about it, kid.

Well, in that case... Can I order my ice cream now?

Sure.

I'll just have a chocopop, please.

At last. Ice cream treat!

$1.50, please.

You got change for a hundred?

Aah!
