Mr. Rich refuses to have a specific building demolished to make way for new skyscrapers, despite that it is part of a contract between he and Mr. Swanko. Richie believes the building is historical in nature and may qualify for landmark status which would make demolishing the building illegal. To fill the time, Richie tries to use various crazy demolition methods, but intentionally doesn't tear down the building. The building received landmark status and the building stays put. One year later, the towers are built on the site with the old building kept in place.

Dollar is soon to receive his dog license, and Dollar then dreams that his dog license resembles a license plate which he wears on his tail. Police pull the dog over, and believe he is driving a stolen dog - so they decide to give him 30 years in prison for the incident, prompting Dollar to run away. Afterwards, two bad guys help him get away by spray-painting him yellow and switching license plates - but is ordered to pay $500, prompting Dollar to run away and gunshots are fired at him. After Dollar wakes up, Richie has his dog tag ready, but the dog runs away scared.
