"In the outer world, depending on what else was going on, this would be considered a sign that your town needed to create more G, if it had idle labor and some resources but not enough money moving--though I'll understand if that's metaphysically inconceivable--"

"Actually, hold on.  Marnie, if hypothetically I had 50 billion G, would there be any reason I couldn't buy a billion Grass from you?"

"You'd never be able to hold all of it! Even if she'd sell you that much you'd be running back and forth to storage chests all day!"

"But she wouldn't run out of Grass?  What I'm getting at, here, is the question of whether there's an amount of Grass that Marnie has, and then she can't sell any more than that amount, or if we can all just go on giving her G and getting Grass from her--does Marnie have the G, then?"

"Oliver, if you want to buy a billion hay from me, I'll sell it to you, 999 at a time!"

"Not right this moment, but good to know!  If I did buy a Hay from you, would you then have 50G, or would it just not exist anymore?"

"I would have it briefly, but it's expensive to run my ranch!"

"Where does it go?"

"Well, I need to buy feed for my own livestock, and the children have expenses, and... there isn't a lot of demand for hay and livestock in Pelican Town. So I don't have a lot of income."

"But if somebody wanted a billion Hay, you'd have a billion Hay."

"Which, you know, would make sense if you also needed to feed an infinite number of Chickens."

"I wonder if I should also start selling children's clothing in my store..."

"If you were, would you be able to just take some of the children's clothing and give it to your children?  Without anyone paying you G for it?"

"I actually have no idea if any of this is going to work. And my shop is closed right now. But I know someone whose cash register is open..."

"Who... me?"

"Gus, try eating some of your own inventory without any G changing hands!"

"Uhhhh.... okay."

"Nothing is happening. I tried having spaghetti and it didn't... happen?"

"People have been paying for beers and food all night!  It is completely reasonable that you'd have 250G or whatever it is a plate of spaghetti cost, and could just give it to yourself, and have spaghetti and the G!"

"Gus, can you go around to the other side of the cash register, and I'll try selling you the spaghetti?"

"I mean, I don't know why I'd want spaghetti, I didn't chop down any trees or anything today, and it doesn't even provide any buffs, but... okay. I guess."

"Wait!  We don't want to check if Gus can buy spaghetti.  Gus needs to try taking 250G or whatever amount, from wherever G goes where people buy things, and use that to buy spaghetti, so it just goes around in a circle, is the idea--"

"Why don't you jusht put it on your own tab, Guss?"

Gus shoots Pam a look.

"I don't get this circle thing. I wish Maru were here."
