FORKY: What's going on? Where am I? Why is it like that?
How high is that? Who's that? Why do you care?
Can I swim? Could that be better?
Why are you talking to me? What is a cloud? Who are you?
(ANNOUNCER READING)
I don't know!
Hey! Forky here. What's everything about?
I don't know. I was made from trash, like, two days ago,
so, I got a lotta questions, believe you me.
And now, it's time for one of those.
And that would be, what is money? What's money?
And to help me out with, "What is money?"
is a toy that knows, like, everything about money.
(COINS RATTLE)
My friend, Hand.
-Thanks for joining me, Hand. -Uh, it's actually Hamm.
Oh, sorry.
I'm gonna say your name, like, seven times and then I'm not gonna forget it.
Hamm. Hamm. Hamm. Hamm. Hamm. Hamm. Hamm.
Now I'm gonna think of a smell to even further lock that in my memory.
Hmm, ugh, gross!
Now you say my name seven times, okay?
-Not likely. -Right!
What is money, Sam?
Well, Forky, money is an accepted means
by which one may purchase
-goods and services. -Uh-huh.
-There are many denominations. -Uh-huh.
Each minted in either Philadelphia, Denver or San Francisco.
Look what I can do.
Same direction. Try it.
(CLEARS THROAT) Yeah. And if you would cast your attention over here.
This is a quarter. One-fourth of a dollar.
-Wow. That looks like a lady. -HAMM: No.
George Washington sported the powdered wig common to his era.
How'd he get hair like that?
-He purchased it. -With what?
With, uh, money.
(GASPING) Oh...
He used money
to purchase
his hair!
Now you're gettin' it.
Money buys lots of things.
Staplers, boat anchors, imitation plastic food...
(LAUGHING) Yes!
But what is money? You know, like, what is it?
Whoa. Watch my arms. Look at that!
-(LAUGHS) -(HAMM SIGHS)
You gotta do this with me.
Uh, you'd have to pay me a lot of money to do that.
Oh, come on.
Money cannot be as good
as having wonderful times with friends like you.
Forky. That was beautiful.
Was it?
You gotta do it with me.
Not gonna happen.
Ooh.
I'm gettin' dizzy!
