Quotes

• Auctioneer : I have five thousand. Five. Five thousand. Mr. Hamish Bond offered five thousand. He invites you to bid against him. I have five, five, five. I have five thousand. Is Mr. Bond's bid a little too steep for you? Well, it usually is. But that's no disgrace to mortal man. Sold for $5000 to Mr. Hamish Bond.

Watch him run up and down, now. Look at him go, he run like a rabbit. Now, watch that boy. Look at that boy. Look at that specimen. Look at those shoulders. Look at the build on that boy. All right, last time. Now, what are my bids on that boy?
