Quote from Adam in Hogan Is My Grandfather
Auctioneer: Up next, from the Von Thurston estate is this abstract expressionist painting of unknown provenance. The bidding starts at $5,000. Adam: $30,000! Auctioneer: I have $30,000. Pops: Whoa, pump the brakes, kiddo. Adam: Don't worry. The whole point is to force these dopes to pay double for this ridiculous art. Auctioneer: I have $30,000 going once. Adam: I'm pretty sure that guy raised his hand. Auctioneer: No. Adam: No? You sure? Auctioneer: I am sure. I have $30,000 going twice. Adam: Come on, people! Look at that beautifully rendered depiction of despair or joy or horses. Who knows what it is, but just buy it, people. Auctioneer: Sold to Mr. Skywalker and his associate, Dr. Zaius. Pops: Run, Adam. Run and don't look back.
