As Nick and his supposed son Finnick walked through the street after buying the Jumbo Pop with Judy's offer, they came across Paris. They felt nervous as Nick asked:
"Hello sir. Is there anyway that we can help you?"
"Yes. There is." Paris replied with a chuckle.
As he took out $40,000 (that he stole from a bank) out of his pocket, he gave it to Nick saying:
"I've got a great deal for you Nick. How about you do a non-profit sale? Make that Jumbo Pop, into tiny Pawpsicles? Think of the much money you could make. You could become a Con-Artist."
Nick gasped with Finnick hugging him feeling scared. Paris chuckled looking at the terrified expressions of them, knowing it's the wrong thing to do. Paris crossed his arms and waited for Nick's response. The fox then said:
"Why would you ask that? That's such a cruel thing to do! I would never…" Before Nick could continue, Paris stopped him and said back:
"Do you want to be humiliated like it happened when those 'friends' made you suffer back when you were The Junior Ranger Scouts? You know, when you were a kid."
Nick closed his eyes, sighed and said:
"No…"
"Good. So, take the money and remember this. Money making is what con-artists do."
Nicks fear fell back as flashback of his childhood terrorized his mind. But then, it turned him into someone new along with Finnick. Paris watched as Nick came to agree to become a con-artist with Finnick. He smiled and said:
"Pal, we've got our selves a deal."
"We sure do." Paris smiled as he and Nick shook hands.
Later on, Nick said to Finnick:
"Alright Finnick, here's what we're going to do. We are going to first melt the Jumbo Pop, but the liquid of it in a jar, we go to tundratown, and we sell them. If Paris want the money, we'll give it to him. But until then, I'll give you $40 for the hustle. Alright?"
Finnick smiled mischievously as he agreed on the plan. So as they shook hands, they drove in their vehicle, and their scheme began.
