Let's start here.
What's this game?
It's the Hungry Harley Heave-Ho.
Harley wants that cantaloupe.
And it's your job to feed it to him.
(Grunting) But we can't reach the cantaloupe.
Is there anything we can use to get to it?
Only this bunch of balls.
Balls aren't for reaching.
They're for throwing or rolling.
I wonder what'll happen if I roll the ball and hit the cantaloupe.
Well, there's only one way to find out.
Here goes!
Ha!
Hm.
It moved a little but not enough to feed Harley.
Let me give it a try with this beach ball.
I hit the cantaloupe just like Nick did but it didn't move at all!
That beach ball is way lighter than the softball.
And the softball moved the cantaloupe a little.
So, maybe we need something heavier than the softball to feed Harley.
An amazing suggestion you've made just now, Nick.
Is there any ball here that might help do the trick?
Uh.
(Gasping) What about that bowling ball?
It'll be heavier than the softball.
(Grunting) NICK: Oh, yeah.
It's really heavy.
(Grunting) Ready?
One, two, three.
(Bells ringing) Yeah, hitting it with the heavier ball means Harley got his dinner.
And you get your tickets.
(Laughing) NICK: Yes!
