Quote from Strudwick in Charitable Dick
Auctioneer: 7's good. Now, do I hear 8? Anyone? Strudwick: $800. Dick: Strudwick! Auctioneer: You're not gonna let him walk away with this little beauty for 8, are you? Dick: I should say not. $900. Top that, Strudwick. Strudwick: $1,000. Dick: Oh, that is more. Strudwick: You're out of your league, Solomon. Dick: Am I? $1,100. Strudwick: 12. Dick: $1201. Strudwick: 13. Dick: 14. Strudwick: 15. Dick: 16. [whooping] $17. Auctioneer: $1,700. You're not gonna let him have it for $1,700, are you? Strudwick: Yes.
