My arcade is named Caine's Arcade.  It's open on weekends only.

我的湯姆熊叫 Caine's Arcade，只有週末開，

Caine does not pass by an arcade without stopping in.

Caine 不會「過湯姆熊 (Arcade) 而不入」，

He loves tickets, playing games. He loves prizes.

So it was only natural for him to build his own arcade.

所以要建立自己的湯姆熊，對他來說是很自然的。

He takes his toys apart to see how they work.

他喜歡研究東西是如何被製造出來的，

He can't put them back together, but he takes them apart.

他把所有自己的玩具拆開，研究如何運作，

Caine spent summer vacation coming to work with me.

不能裝回去，但他還是拆開了。

Caine 花了整個暑假來和我一起工作，

My dad has a lot of boxes back there. We ship parts out.

So I cut them up and make my arcade games out of it.

My first game I made is a basketball hoop I got at Shakey's Pizza... and it's really cool.

He taped it onto a box, and he offered people chances to play for a nickel.

所以我把箱子剪開，用來做我自己的 Arcade Game。

He started with that little game, and little by little it got fancier and fancier.

And eventually it took over the whole store.

籃框是從 Shakey's pizza 拿來的，真的很酷。

I had to get a door handle for my '96 Corolla, so I pulled into this used auto part store.

然後他以約五分錢的價格提供別人玩。

And I just came across this elaborate cardboard arcade.

然後一點一滴的改進，這些遊戲越來越酷，

最後整間店都擺滿了他的遊戲。

Well, how many turns do you get with a fun pass? You get 500 turns with a fun pass.

我要幫我 96 年的 Corolla 買門把，

所以我就去了這家二手汽車零件店，

I made this fun pass expire in one month.  And you get 500 plays on any of these games.

然後我就遇到了這些精心製作的紙箱遊戲機。

I started making my office.  It has a speaker, so on the other side I can talk through.

I got tokens, my business card, fun passes, and prizes.

但兩元，就可以拿到歡樂券（Fun Pass）

My first prizes I used my own toys, like the cars - my own toys.

I used to like Hot Wheels when I was little.

I work from the back office, so it kept him out of my hair all summer.

He would work on the arcade, i would work on eBay.

我做的歡樂券，在一個月期限內，

My next game I built was a soccer game.  First of all, it didn't get no goalies.

你可以玩 500 次，這裡的任何一種遊戲。很划算。

People said it was too easy, so I bought army goalies, and there are blockers.

我做了辦公室，這裡有喇叭，所以我從另外一邊也可以講話。

It's pretty hard, so you get two tickets if you make in here.

I give it a 4 stars. Hard game, challenging game. 4 stars.

第一特獎  我用我自己的舊玩具，例如玩具車。

One day, Caine tells me, "Dad, I want to buy a claw machine."

我小的時候很喜歡 Hot Wheel（玩具車廠牌）

我在後面的辦公室工作，所以他不會干擾到我。

So he got an S hook and put a piece of yarn on it, and then put a little track on top of the box.

他做他的 Arcade，我在 ebay 上幹活。

And then I said, "What the heck? He figured out how to make a claw machine with a string and a hook."

我做的第二個遊戲是足球遊戲，

Here are some sunglasses.  These are the glass I like the most - star sunglasses.

He buy calculators to put on every arcade game. I ask, "what's that for?"

The calculators right here are for security to see if it's a real fun pass or not.

所以我買了這些玩具士兵當守門員。

On the back, the fun pass has a security number.

這樣子你還敢說簡單嗎？現在可難了。所以你得分的話可以拿到兩張彩票。

So when you go here you turn it around and put the pin number in it.

我評為四星難度，有挑戰性的遊戲。

And press the check mark button and the big number comes out.

That's how you know it's a real fun pass!

My dad started the business in 1955. We have used auto parts.

Most of our business has gone online because we really don't get the walk-up traffic like we used to.

So Caine's chances of getting one customer is pretty hard.

所以他把 S 形鉤子上面綁一條線，

Caine is always waiting in front, sitting on his little chair and trying to convince people to play.

我說：「老天！他真的想出來怎麼做抓娃娃機！用繩子和鉤子！」

這是我的太陽眼鏡，我最喜歡的。

But he never gets discouraged. He is always sweeping up and dusting off the game. Waiting for customers.

He only wears his shirt on Saturdays and Sundays when he comes open up his arcade.

他買計算機，裝在每臺遊戲機上。

And he is really proud of his shirt because he thought it up and he designed it.

When Caine got back to school from vacation, he kept telling everybody that he got an arcade, and nobody believed him.

計算機是用來檢查歡樂券（fun pass）是不是真的。

So he won't wear his shirt to school because he's afraid that kids might tease him about it.

He told them, "hey I got my arcade!" But they're like, "yeah, yeah sure."

你來了以後先開機，輸入 PIN 碼，

So one day, my secretary comes running into the office, "George, you'll never believe it! Somebody is playing in Caine's Arcade."

And I go, "no way!" I was looking through the security camera and watching him.

I'm playing miniature soccer, miniature basketball.

這就是檢查歡樂券真偽的方法。

And then, when you score a point, he would crawl into the box and he pulls out these little tickets out on the side of the cardboard.

我爸在 1955 年開始做汽車零件行，

Like a real arcade, game tickets come from the bottom.

現在大部分的生意都是在網路上做的，

Nirvan came back one day when Caine wasn't here and told me, "you mind if I make a short film about Caine's Arcade?"

因為現在沒有以前那麼多步行人潮了，

And I said, "well, actually, it's kind of a little joke around here, because you are his only customer."

所以 Caine 要找到一個顧客的機會非常少。

I was blown away.  Caine has only sold one fun pass?

Caine 總是坐在他的椅子上，在前面等待，

並試著說服讓人們玩他的遊戲。

So Nirvan says, "well, what if I could get him a couple of customers?"

I said, "that would make his day.  If you could get him one customer, he would be happy.

And at that point, we hashed a plan to invite everybody in LA to come play at Caine's Arcade.

The idea was to do a surprise flashmob of Caine's Arcade on Sunday afternoon.

他每天都打掃清理遊戲機，等待客人。

I was thinking, "who is gonna come down to a junk yard on Sunday afternoon in East LA?  Who's really gonna show up?"

他只在週末來開店的時候穿這件 T-shirt，

So then I made a little facebook event which a friend posted on HiddenLA which has over 230,000 fans, and all of a sudden it just started going viral.

Nirvan put it on the internet, and all of a sudden, within an hour, we had NBC news here.

因為是他自己想出來、自己設計的。

Then it hit the front page of reddit, which is like being on the front page of the internet.

當 Caine 暑假結束後回學校上學，

I started reading the comments. "I wish I could be there - I live in New York. I wish i could be there - I live in Europe."  And then I go, "wow!"

他和大家說他自己有一座湯姆熊。

The plan is I am going to take Caine to Shakey's Pizza.  We are going to play some arcade games.

所以他不會穿這件 T-shirt 到學校，

We are going to eat lunch, while Nirvan sets up a big surprise party.

Caine has no idea what we're doing, and when we get back, he is going to have the biggest surprise of his life.

你知道，他和那些死小鬼說「我有了自己的湯姆熊耶！」

And the idea is to get as many people as we can to come out to Caine's Arcade, and just make his day.

Caine is dying to have one customer show up to his arcade.

有一天，我的秘書跑到辦公室說：

So Caine is going to be the most surprised little boy in the whole wide world.

「George，你相信嗎，有人在 Caine's Arcade 玩！」

In about a minute, he is going to ride here.

Hey Caine, can we go home early today? We had no customers.

當你得分時，他會鑽到箱子裡，

就像真的遊戲機一樣，彩票從下面出來。

然後我就覺得這小鬼是天才啊！

Nirvan 有天來的時候 Caine 不在，他和我說：

Wow! What's going on over here? Haha. Huh?

「你介意我拍一部 Caine's Arcade 的短片嗎？」

我說你在開玩笑吧，你是他唯一的顧客耶。

我很驚訝 Caine 只賣了一張歡樂券，那實在是超划算的！

所以 Nirvan 說，如果我可以幫他找到一些顧客呢？

我說，那太棒了，會讓他很高興的！
