Two individuals, Ben and Emma, are walking past a piano store. Ben explains that he gets excited every time he sees a piano and that he would like to enter the store. The two enter and Emma asks him if he can play. Ben responds with the fact that he doesn't define his ability as "being able to play." Emma is confused by this and wonders if perhaps Ben had once heard a master piano player and now, whenever he sees one, finds joy in pianos. Emma asks Ben if he wants to play and he sits down and plays. She compliments his ability, saying it's wonderful. Ben explains that his own playing wasn't wonderful, but rather the piano itself. A store clerk walks by and he and Ben talk about the piano for awhile. Ben asks where the piano was made and how much it is. The store clerk tells him that it was probably made in Philadelphia and that it costs $24950, with a down payment of $40-50. The clerk asks Ben to play again, but Ben says that he doesn't know how. They argue for a second before Ben begins playing. After Ben finishes, he tells the clerk that he wishes he could buy it. Ben and Emma leave the store. Emma tells Ben that she didn't know he could play and Ben replies that he never learned how to play, but he was poor as a child and used to play little melodies on every piano he saw. He explains that the fact that he never had money kept him away from many things that he thought he should have just because he has the right to them. He says that it's both good and terrible. Emma finds his explanation charming and a good life lesson. They part ways and Emma begins walking to the store. Emma thinks about how Ben will probably get a piano someday, along with other things he wants.
