[zhu-] George Costanza is in the [4] bathroom of the [-an] pawn shop where he is trying to 賺 earn some money by working as an (incompetent) plumber. There are some 貝 shellfish stuck in the pawn shop bathroom toilet, and George uses a 兼 leaf blower to try to blow them out, to no success. The boss of the shop, sick of him making a mess of things, gives him a couple of dollars to go away. George smiles smugly as he walks out of the bathroom, happy he 賺 earned some money.
