Hi everyone!

Olaf:
>> I need to know THE EXACT WORDS that Scrooge said after earning his first
>>coin. (From he wakes up after blacking out, sees the coin in his and and yells)

L&T  Part 1 ("The Last fo the Clan McDuck") (U$ 285, April '94), p 7 panel 5:
"My pay! the first coin I ever *earned* from my own *labor*!"

panel 6:
"*Wait*! This is an *American* coin! A *dime*! That sharpie ticked me!"

panel 7:
"This should be a lesson! Life is filled with *tough* jobs, and there'll always be *sharpies* to
cheat me!"
"Well, I'll be tougher than the toughies, and sharper than the sharpies-- and I'll make my money
*square*!"


The text is slightly different in Chapter 0 ("Of Ducks, Dimes, and Destinies") (U$ 297, April '96),
p 14 panel 8:
"Huh?"
"-Whew!- I... I must have passed out!"

panel 9 (difference in *emphasis*):
"My *pay*! the first coin I ever *earned* from my *own labor*!"

p 15 panel 1 (one more sentence):
"*Wait*! This is an *American* coin! A *dime*! That sharpie ticked me! And after that *tough* job,
too!"

panel 2 (emphasis added on "lesson"):
"This should be a *lesson*! Life is filled with *tough* jobs, and there'll always be *sharpies* to
cheat me!"


Best wishes,

Olivier
