Desperate for money, Jimmy devises an elaborate trap and enlists Cal and Lars and suggests a partnership. Jimmy's plan is to go after Betsy Kettleman, whose route to pick up her kids at school always intersects at the cafe, which places convenient witnesses. Cal will then be hit by a car driven by Betsy, a Mercury Sable wagon, and Jimmy will come in and offer his legal surfaces to her, talking the brothers out of suing the woman, and later paying both of the brothers $2,000 for their troubles. The twins are convinced that Jimmy can help them with their scamming procedures, so they sign on for his plan.
