Eddie: They've done it! They've really done it, Nana!

Nana: Oh, goodness.

Buster: Now welcome our first contestant.

Bear Leader: Which one of you is Moons?

Pippa: Hey, hey, hey, you can't just barge in here.

Bear Leader: You two know this guy?

Buster: Mike?

Bear Leader: Right. Mike here says you two got his money, and it's in that box.

Pippa: No, no, no, no, no, just hold on a moment here. That's prize money, and it's not Mike's unless he wins it fair and...

Mike: Give him the money!

Buster: Okay, okay. Hey, hey, hey, hey, take it. The whole chest. It's yours, okay? All right here.

Bear Leader: Open it.

Pippa: Open it? I-I... no. Me?

Mike: Open it!

Buster: Okay, no, I-I... I just don't... I don't have the keys, so maybe you can come back later?

Bear Leader: Get out of the way!

Pippa: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Wait!

Mike: Hey, hey, there you go. Big guy with a bat. Who needs keys, right? All right, well, let... Let's get this thing squared up now. What the...? That's it? That's all there is? They lied. Moons lied to us all.

Buster: Well, wait a second. I can explain. Okay?

Mike: He's your problem, not me.

Pippa: This is just a prop.

Johnny: So where's the $100,000?

Rosita: You two are kidding.

Johnny: I cannot believe you two lied this whole time!

Ash: What's the big idea? You two have wasted everyone's...

Mike: No, no, no, no! (screams)

Johnny: (coughs)

Ash: (groan)

Buster: Is everyone okay? Nana! I-I-I'm so sorry. I-I just... No, no, no, no, no, don't... Don't go!

Meena: SIS!!!!!! SOMEONE CALL 911!!!! SHE'S NOT BREATHING!!!!!!

Dispatcher: 911, where is your emergency?

Pippa: It's at Moon Theater. We have someone here who isn't breathing.

Pippa: Moon M-O-O-N Theater.

Dispatcher: OK. What's going on there? Do you need police, fire, or EMS?
