The Writings on the Flag
Although the writing on the flag was handwritten, Walter was able to decipher it. Once he understood what was reading on the flag, he knew he had to buy it.
Once Lanie also read what was written on the flag, she agreed that they needed to purchase it. The flag had a price tag of $15 on it. But the man who was selling it saw the writing and figured it was defaced, so he decided to reduce the price to $5.
