David is eager to use it since he missed breakfast, but the toaster ends up burning the bread. David questions Luis' fixing ability, while Luis criticizes David for having the toaster set wrong. Luis comments that he believes he can run the store better than David, who also thinks he can run the Fix-it Shop better. They make an agreement to switch jobs, trade their toolbelt and apron, and shake on it. |
