One of Those Eds

"One of Those Eds" is a season 4 episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy, in which one well stuck quarter causes cul-de-sac carnage and angst all round.

Plot
Eddy's latest scheme is one he hopes everyone will take lying down, yes this time around he's trying to foist rotten old mattresses gleaned from the local dump and disguised as his own 'Ed's Beds' off on the kids at a nice fat profit. Gullible little Jonny looks almost set to buy but luckily for him a disgruntled customer appears in the nick of time demanding a refund and the only reason Rolf doesn't put Eddy's lights out is because Eddy's bed has already put his back out.

Its during the subsequent evasive manœuvres that - glory of glories - what should Eddy spy just lying there on the sidewalk but CASH! Yes, an abandoned quarter, a whole quarter, just think what he could buy at the candy store with it! However there's just one slight problem - Eddy can't budge the coin from the sidewalk, but maybe Double D will find a way. So begins a frantic game of disguise and determination as one by one the cul-de-sac kids each discover the money and then come to grief when they try to claim it for themselves only to be foiled by its amazing adhesive properties. Not to be outdone they then try to hide it away so that nobody else will find it but of course its a secret everybody knows so its not long before everyone's fighting for the right of removal! Unnerved by the squabbles Edd tries to bring a little order to the unseemly ranks but even when they're given a one-on-one chance with the money nobody's able to pocket the plunder. Luckily, Edd's been keeping his powder dry and later, under cover of darkness he brings out the big guns, or rather shovels but even his mega digging machine fails to come up trumps. Morning finds the Eds dazed and confused and witness to the arrival of jolly little Jonny who's come to collect his belongings, by gum!

Quotes

 * Edd: [sarcastically ignoring Eddy's sales spiel] "That's right Jonny, all our mattresses have been fully reconditioned with a coating of Eddy's 'they'll never know its a stinking, junkyard mattress' paint." Rolf: [hobbling in] "Ed-Boys! Your mattress has ruptured Rolf's tail bone! Who is in charge of this double-crossing slumber flim-flammery?"


 * Rolf: "Who is responsible for this thing piercing Rolf's hot water sack?"


 * Ed: "Shoes for the taking Double D!"


 * Rolf: [fighting with Kevin] "May the onion of agony swell your macaroon!"


 * Ed: [sporting Rolf's shoe on his head] "The light doesn't get any greener Double D!"


 * Eddy: [mounting an attack on the obstinate quarter] "You're as good as spent after I scrape you off with my shovel of doom!"


 * Ed: "What can you do when you live in a shoe and you ain't got no sole?"

Trivia

 * How could Double D write down the plans for the machine if he was monitoring the whole event? If he wrote it BEFORE this even happened, how would he know that the plans would be of any use?
 * When Jimmy is seen close-up, there is a band-aid and bandages on his pants, instead of his legs. Why would he have them there?
 * When Edd and Eddy go to get the supplies for the machine to remove the quarter, the small barriers Edd used to keep everyone in line to get the quarter are still there, but disappear when Edd and Eddy return late at night.
 * How could Rolf catch up to Eddy when he had a broken back,and Eddy was running three times faster?!? He could not have caught up to him that easily.
