In the Laughing Place, Brer Bear was sitting under a hair dryer. 

Brer Fox turned the dryer off and said "How is it you has one o' deez, but you ain't got soap?!"

"Hey. Hair is my life" said Brer Bear.

Jeremy came in holding another coin.

"Brer Fox. I can't believe you tried to fool me with another fake coin. How silly do you think I am?" he said.

"What you talkin' bout? I has de fake one right here" said Brer Fox.

"Wait. If that's the fake one... then this must be..." Jeremy began.

Brer Fox snatched the coin and finished with "A real vikin' gold coin!" 

"Oh my goodness! So there must be treasure here!" said Jeremy.

"We needs ter find it. But we can't do it wit'out yo' brains" said Brer Fox.

"Okay, okay, I'll help" said Brer Bear modestly.

"I think he meant me" Jeremy admitted.

"Brer Bear, jus' do whatevah ya did las' time" said Brer Fox.

"Sure" said Brer Bear.

He laid back down and snored violently again.

"I'll stay here and study these books some more. Brer Fox, you go searching for more signs of the treasure" said Jeremy.

"Brer Jeremy, you got it!" said Brer Fox.

He left and Brer Bear and Jeremy broke character and cracked up.

"Great job, Brer Jeremy. He totally thought our coin wuz real. Our plan is in moshun" said Brer Bear.
