A main mission. Behind the glass at QuickTransfer, Artie Finch explains the wire fee: two and a half percent, at least $2.50 a transfer, to be built into the price. The kid works out that wiring $50 costs $52.50, and passes on Frank's message.

| 1 | Artie Finch | Morning. Bills, money orders or a wire? | relaxed | not voiced |
| 2 | LukeSarah | I'm starting an online store. My supplier, EmporWAY, wants the money wired before they ship. How does that work? | hopeful | not voiced |
| 3 | Artie Finch | Listen, kid. The wire company takes two and a half percent off the top, minimum two-fifty a pop. They take their bite before anyone else touches a dime. If you're buying goods to resell, you have to build that wire fee into your retail price, or you're just paying to work. Got it? | serious | not voiced |
| 4 | LukeSarah | If I wire fifty dollars to EmporWAY, it will actually cost fifty-two fifty. Moving money costs money. | thoughtful | not voiced |
| 5 | LukeSarah | Oh, and Mr. Dawson says if you skim one penny off me, you'll be explaining it to his cane. | playful | not voiced |
| 6 | Artie Finch | Ha! Tell the colonel this counter's as honest as his boots are shined. | amused | not voiced |
