Tyler approaches Harold from behind holding a cup in his hands. Harold is carrying his money tree. Tyler says, "Hey Harold, would you like to donate to charity? It's for a good cause!" Harold raises an eyebrow and looks over his shoulder, and says, "Charity? What charity?"

We see Tyler from behind, holding the cup up, but his body obscures it. He says, "I just told you. A Good Cause." Harold looks at the cup and says, "...That's a coffee mug with a sticky note on it."

A close up of the mug with a sticky note that reads "A GOOD CAUSE" hand-written. Tyler says, "See? They can't even afford a proper charity cup thing!"

Tyler is shown from the waist up, smiling straight ahead, and says, "How about a couple of yen to help out?"

Harold begins to the leave the frame, but points at the mug as he does so, saying, "Nice try. Next time you might want to empty the cup first." Tyler looks down into the mug.

A woman comes into panel behind Tyler and says, "Can I have my coffee back please?" Tyler is distracted by the woman and doesn't see the ninja lower his head into frame, staring in the direction that Harold walked off. The sticky note falls from the mug.
