The Thrift Shop Spirit ###Psst! Over here. That's right, the box. Pick it up. Feels good in your hand, doesn't it? Open the top. See? No, don't close it yet! I know it doesn't look like a box, but it is. It's a puzzle...magic! Wouldn't it make a great conversation piece? Wouldn't your friends have a good time trying to figure it out? ### Come on, buy it! It doesn't cost much. It's been sitting on this shelf for a long time. They'd probably give it to you for half. I need to get out of this shop. I need to get out of this box! Please! Just get me out of here! ###Hey! Don't walk away! You don't want that doll. It's dusty and ragged. What would you do with it anyway? Put it down and come back here. Pick the box up again. Feel how smooth and satiny the wood feels. Slide the top back. Isn't there something under the top that looks like it could be opened? Isn't there some way into this box? There has to be! If there isn't some way in, that means there's no way out! That can't be true!
###That's it! Slide the top back and forth. Good! Okay, now just take it up to the counter and pay for it. That's right. See? He gave you half off. You don't need a bag, just put it in your pocket and take it home. I can tell we're going to be very happy together.
