The Greatest Trade in the History ;)

As there are lots of exchange students in the campus these days, that particular episode of The Wonder Years comes to mind where they have Inga Finnstrom, a Swedish girl exchange student in the McKinley High School. You gotta watch it to see how funny it is. Uploaded here (2.9 MB). (If you have problem playing it, download divx codec [and/or player] from here).

NARRATOR:Inga Finnstrom, McKinley High School's first Swedish exchange student.

Int. Day - School Library
(Shot of Inga walking through the library. The camera rolls with her as she passes Kevin, Paul, and Ricky sitting at a table. The camera stops on them. Ricky smiles over his shoulder, while Kevin looks on blankly.)

PAUL: Can you believe we sent Marvin Grotsky to Venezuela and got her back?
KEVIN: Unbelievable.
(Shot from the guys' perspective of Inga, as she looks around an aisle, then walks off.)
NARRATOR:It was the greatest trade in the history of the United States.
