Maths week 'Two Tens for Five'

Here is the script!
Abbott: Have you got two tens for a five?
Costello: Just so happen to have it.
Lou gives Bud ten dollars and Bud gives Lou five
dollars.
Costello: Just a minute, just one minute!
Abbott: Something wrong?
Costello: Fifteen dollars just went south!
Abbott: What do you mean?
Costello: You gave me a lot of your fast talk, you said 'do you have
two tens for a five' and I gave you two tens for a five.
Abbott: Just a minute, are you accusing me of cheating?
Costello: No, but you got two tens for a five.
Abbott: Alright here's your five now gimme back my two tens.

Costello: Okay, that's better.

Bud gives Lou five dollars and Lou gives Bud ten dollars.

After a slight pause Lou realises he has been conned again.

Costello: What are you doing?

Abbott: What’s wrong now?Costello: Look Abbott, here's two tens gimme a five!

Abbott: Certainly.

Lou gives Bud ten dollars and Bud gives Lou five dollars.

Costello: HA HA HA HAAA!
You did it to me...
You did it to me again.

Abbott: Oh come on.

Try to act it out with you friend. Use paper as money!
