Yeah, you really stink at PlayStation.
Well, it's a good thing you're
going off to college soon.
I'll have it all to myself.
I don't think so.
What?
You're not going to college now?
Yeah, I am.
But I'm taking the PlayStation with me.
You can't take it.
It's part of the house, just like the TV.
Well little bro,
It seems like you have a short memory
because I got that PlayStation
last year for Christmas.
well, if you take the PlayStation,
what am I supposed to do?
Why don't you ask mom and
dad for one this Christmas?
mom?!
What is it, Josh?
David wants to take
the PlayStation 5 to college.
OK, so what's wrong with that?
He can't take it.
It's part of the house.
It's hooked up to the TV.
So? what's wrong with that?
So what's he taking next?
The refrigerator and the bathtub?
Well, it was his Christmas
present last year.
Well, you need to tell him no.
he's so selfish.
Look, he's 18.
He can take it if he wants.
Maybe we'll get you one for Christmas this year.
Really? That's a great idea.
Well, since the only thing on your list are pajamas,
maybe PlayStations will be on sale at target.
mom...
They're not going to be marked down.
Remember last year David had practically
had to camp out to get one.
Well, since your dad and i think you’ve been
such a great kid this year,
I'll see about ordering one online.
Thanks. You're the best mom ever.
Wait till I tell everybody at school.
So Mom says she's going to order it online.
What year is that coming in?
What are you talking about?
They're getting it for me for Christmas this year.
You're kidding, right?
Nobody's got them in stock.
Oh, great.
What am I going to do now?
Dude, why don't you do what nathan did?
Oh yeah.
How did he get his?
That's easy.
All you got to do is be at walmart
when they restock that inventory.
I can't be camping out for days.
My parents won't let me.
no.
That was Nathan's secret.
They get the inventory every Tuesday at 1:00.
Great! Tuesday, 1:00.
That's when we have school.
man!
You got to get your priorities in order.
Still not in stock.
I don't know where else to look.
Oh hey mom, what are you doing?
Oh, nothing.
josh, how is school school?
school is school.
Were you able to find a PlayStation?
Son...
Maybe you should get a PlayStation next Christmas.
What? Even Nathan got one.
Oh, really?
Well, maybe I should call his
mom and ask her how.
I wish it was that easy.
If you let me take off school tomorrow,
I think I can get one on my own.
No, I'm not letting you skip school young man.
even if it is for a playstation.
Well, what am I supposed to do now?
Well, you know the expression,
good things come to those who wait.
That's a dumb expression.
David, I need a favor.
No, I'm not going to take the SAT for you.
It's not that,
i don't want to be stuck
going to state like you are.
It's something else.
Nice burn!
What is it anyway?
I need you to go down to the store
tomorrow at 1:00 and get me a PlayStation.
How are you going to Get a playstation?
You don't have any money.
Mom says she's getting me one for Christmas.
Well, she's not going to give you her card.
You know how she is.
Let me worry about that.
anyway....
Are you going to go for me or what?
no can do.
I got a pack for college.
Oh, great.
Now what?
Josh's mom won't let him skip school
and his brother won't go for him.
What's he going to do now?
Josh, where are you?
I'm up here.
Well, hurry up and get ready for school.
I don't feel well.
I'm sick.
Josh, Honey, are you all right?
Um, um, yeah, I feel fine.
Can you throw this away for me?
Okay, sure.
Josh, I'm concerned about your health.
Yeah.
Must have been grandma's beef stew last night.
Well honey,
I'm not letting you go to school today.
Are you sure? you know how much I love school.
oh well, don't worry honey,
i'll call your teacher for you.
Thanks, mom.
Are you still going to work?
Oh yes.
Sorry, son,
I won't be here to take care of you.
Oh, good.
I mean, that's too bad.
alright,
Well,do you get some rest.
Hi, Mrs. Leoni, this is Carol Groban, Josh's mom.
Oh hi. Mrs. Groban, how have you been?
Well, I've been fine,
but I'm afraid Josh is sick.
Oh, no, he doesn't have what's going around,
does he?
No, no.
I'm afraid it was something he ate
my mother's cooking.
Just to be safe.
You should really keep him home today.
My thoughts exactly.
Hi, I'm here to buy a PlayStation.
I got my credit card and everything.
PlayStations?
We don't have any PlayStations.
Oh, you're right.
It's not 1:00 yet.
What makes you think we're getting
PlayStations at 1:00?
isn't that when you get them?
Tuesdays at 1:00?
Oh, you must be thinking
of the third Tuesday of the month.
That's not until next week.
You mean not have to come back?
Well, don't tell anyone, but we are getting a
shipment next Tuesday.
All right. I'll come back next Tuesday.
Turns out, Josh needs to come back
next Tuesday,
will he be able to fake sick again with mom?
Hey, David.
What is it, Josh?
Have I ever told you
how awesome a Big Brother you are?
OK? What do you want this time?
I was just thinking, when you're out Tuesday,
tomorrow, you might stop at the store for me?
Who says I'm going to be out?
and does this have something to do
with that PlayStation?
Well, sort of.
I have online orientation
for college tomorrow.
I can't run any of your errands.
Oh, OK, great.
They're coming in tomorrow,
and my brother won't go.
Well, you're going to have to fake sick again.
I can't do that again.
My mother caught me faking last week.
i guess no PlayStation for you...unless...
unless?
Unless what?
Unless this school sends you home sick.
How am I supposed to pull that off?
Remember what happened to Chloe Watson.
And I have the keys to the equipment room.
Hi, the other registers busy,
can I purchase this here?
Of course. Will that be cash or credit card?
Oh, it'll be credit card.
What?! it's not here.
Oh, hi, Mrs. leoni
Oh my gosh,
what happened to your leg?
I got in an accident with the school bus.
Did you fall getting off?
No, it ran over my leg.
That doesn't look like much of a cast.
Oh, Colin, did it.
Oh yeah. I know first aid
You need to get to the doctor right away.
Colin, do you mind taking him?
no,I don't mind.
Hey, I'm back.
Remember me?
Yeah.
Aren't you
the kid that came in here for the PlayStation?
Yeah,
I know it's not 1:00 yet,
but I didn't want anyone to get here before me.
Actually, you're in luck.
The PlayStation 5's came in early today.
Great. I'll take one.
Here it is.
All I need is your credit card.
This will just be a moment.
This card isn't working.
It says it's canceled.
No, no, it can't be. It's it's my mom's.
I mean, try again.
I'm sorry,
but I can't sell this to you
unless you have a different card.
No, no, I don't.
But can you hold it till tomorrow?
No, I can't.
You're going to have to
wait for the next shipment.
Next shipment? When is that?
third tuesday of next month.
Great.
There goes Christmas.
Josh's plan to get a PS5 didn't work.
is his quest for a PlayStation over?
Sorry, boys,
your dad has to work tonight,
so we have to open up
the presents without him.
I don't feel right about that.
I do.
All right, David, why don't you go first?
Oh, OK, which one's mine?
Probably that one.
Oh, I'll get it for you.
Here you go.
Nice.
Oh, wow.
An air fryer, just what I need for college.
Oh, that's cool.
And now for yours, Josh.
Oh, wow.
pajamas.
Yeah, it's kind of like the gift
that gives year round.
Yeah, especially at night.
Well, this year
we have a lot to be thankful for.
We sure do.
Well, it's the thought that counts.
Oh, wait, one more.
And, Josh, this one's for you.
What?
Oh, my gosh, it's a ps5!
what?!
isn’t that what you wanted?
How did you get this?
You'll have to ask Santa.
This is the best Christmas ever.
All I got was an air fryer.
Even though Josh was caught lying,
mom forgave him and got him a PS5 anyway,
remember, lying is never the right way to get what you want
