This scene takes place in a hardware store in a small North Woods lumber town.
[Lumberjack:] (Enters.) My old crosscut saw is worn out, and I need something that will let me cut more wood, or I'm going to go broke!
[Owner:] Yes, sir! For only one hundred bucks you can be the proud owner of this chain saw. I guarantee it'll cut twice as much wood in a day as your crosscut.
[Lumberjack:] (Hands over money.) O.K., great! (Exits.)
[Announcer:] The next day.
[Lumberjack:] (Enters, tired.) There's something wrong with this saw. I worked very hard yesterday and only cut half as much wood.
[Owner:] Hmm. I have a lot of faith in this product. Here, I'll put a new chain on it-give it another try.
[Lumberjack:] O.K., but if it doesn't do any better, I'll be back! (Exits.)
[Announcer:] The next day.
[Lumberjack:] (Enters, exhausted.) This darned saw is no good! I worked even harder, and still it won't cut half the wood of my old saw! I want my money back!
[Owner:] Yes, sir! Just let me check it out here. (Pulls starter rope.)(Makes sound effects: *VVRRROOOMMM VVRRROOOMMM!*)
[Lumberjack:] (Stares in shock.) Oh my gosh! What on earth is all that noise?
