"...and DONE! Nine hits for the little lady! So close!You can try again for just two more credits! Two credits for another play!"
"Thanks, but not yet. The two of us need to have a talk."
"But, Imma-"
"We NEED... to have... a TALK."
"..."
"...yes, we'll be back, and you'll get to try again."
"Fine, then. Let's go talk."
"What is it you wanted to say?"
"Well... youshouldawonthatgame."
"What?"
"You should have won that game."
"...yes, I am aware of that. My aim is normally better than that."
"No. You don't understand, Cinque. It wasn't your aim."
"...What."
"How much research did you do about carnivals?"
"Enough to know I wanted to visit one, but I don't see how that's-"
"It's relevant because carnival games aren't fair."
"-oh. I wondered why each knife felt different."
"Yep, that's probably part of it. You'll have to adjust for a slightly different balance with every throw... and considering the time limit, I suspect most people won't be able to do it. I also noticed that some of your shots bounced off of the targets when they should've penetrated; you may have to put a good deal more force behind them."
"I can do that. Thank you, Imma.......but why would he do something like that?"What a sheltered individual. "Look at it from his perspective. That stand is his business, and it's his goal to make as much money as possible out of it. He makes money by getting people to play the game... but loses it whenever anybody has to win a prize.
To make a long story short, having the prizes there and winnable is more profitable than not, simply because it attracts more customers- but only if they aren't too easy to win. So he cheats things just a bit."
"Ah, I see. That does put it in perspective."
"Back already? Is the little lady going to try her luck once more?"
"Yes, please."
