Picking up a stuffed moose toy decorated with Christmas lights and staring at it intently, North scratches his right cheek with his right index finger and says to Jake, "Dude, who has a garage sale in November?"
"Man, shut up," Jake says, sitting in a lawn chair in the corner of his parents' garage and trying not to shiver from the chilly temperature.
"Touchy," North says, "How much for the moose?"
"Just take it, dude, I'm not going to charge you," Jake says drinking some coffee that once was hot coffee but now is iced coffee.
"Cool, thanks! Does that mean I can have the singing fish for free too?" North says, picking up a plastic fish on a plaque.
Jake sighs, "Yes, go ahead. No one's coming. I'm going to end up having to drag all this stuff to Goodwill anyway."
"I can give you a hand in return for the fish and moose. You aren't getting rid of any of your old wrestling magazines, are you?"
"No, I hung on to all of those."
"What are you doing with this moose anyway?"
"It was Jackson's. She left it behind when she moved out."
"How come you didn't burn it or something? I mean I'm glad you didn't. I'm going to give it to West. She loves stuffed animals and she loves stupid Christmas stuff, so this is like a win-win where my sis is concerned."
"I had to move out in a hurry, so I just took everything in that apartment. This time I was trying to play it smart and not move things I don't want by having this garage sale."
"But it's November."
"Yeah."
"So it's cold."
"Yeah."
"So no one's coming."
"Yeah, I'm beginning to think that."
"Here comes somebody."
"Who?" Jake stands up and looks down the driveway.
"Frosty the Snowman. It's snowing," North says as he laughs.
