After the segment finishes, Celina tries to get Barkley to do what Fay just did. She sets three balls on a table in front of Finders Keepers, and Lexine puts one of them on the ground, expecting Barkley to pick it up and put it back on the table. Barkley doesn't, so Lexine shows him how to do it. Celina puts the ball in his mouth, but he runs off with it instead. Rosita then realizes that Barkley just did a subtraction trick (three balls minus one equals two), and they all go chasing after Barkley. |
