    Translation of the hand reading:
    Sometimes you lack confidence in yourself.
    You have a weakness for luxury, expensive showy stuff.
    Sometimes you feel dissatisfaction about everything.
    You know how to moderate your spirit of sacrifice and you’ll get satisfaction and happiness..
    You have the tendency to fill your head with sad ideas and you live your days without doing anything positive.
    The last line don’t make much sense. It says something about a happy marriage doesn’t necessarily is attached to material things.

      I live in Dallas and sadly I'm almost positive they've HAD to been struggling financially for a long long time. I never see cars in the parking lot when I pass by and it's been like that for quite some time. It's a shame because they've added a lot of cool new parts to it.

    No one gonna mention that at 2:33, when Jacob is looking at the Shrunken Head and other pirate-like exbibits, the music being piped in is from The Little Mermaid - it's the song that Prince Eric plays on his flute while dancing around with his crew before his ship sinks. And if I am not mistaken it's played later on his wedding day to Vanessa, when Ariel, Scuttle and Flounder think Eric is marrying Ariel.
