TV Salesman:"You can't get color for fifty dollars."
Henry:"That's okay, let's see what you got."
TV Salesman:"What have I got? You want cable-ready? You want remote control? You want UHF? You want thirteen-inch? You want nineteen-inch? I bet you'd love to have a nineteen-inch. You want Sony? You want Zenith? Do you want a GoldStar?"
Henry:"What can we get for a hundred-and-fifty?"
TV Salesman:"[points to one of the other TV sets off-camera] We'll let you have this set for a hundred-and-fifty. It's worth three-hundred. But here, take a look at this. For an extra seventy-five, you can take this six-hundred dollar set."
Otis:"[Otis picks up the video camera] What's this?"
TV Salesman:"It's a camcorder."
Otis:"What?"
TV Salesman:"It's a video-tape recorder and camera rolled into one. You just pop in a cassette and you're ready to go."
Otis:"You can make your own movies with that?"
Henry:"What else would you do with this? How much you want for it?"
TV Salesman:"It's worth a grand. I'd take half."
Henry:"Five-hundred bucks?"
TV Salesman:"Yeah. Half of a grand is five-hundred dollars."
Otis:"That's a little more than we were planning to spend. I think we should just take the TV."
TV Salesman:"Okay, which one do you want?"
Otis:"The fifty dollar one."
TV Salesman:"The fifty dollar one... You guys come in here, I show you this, I show you that and you creeps got a lousy fifty dollars to spend? You should've stopped me a long time ago. Take the fifty dollar set and get the hell out, I'm a busy man."
Henry:"Well, we were really counting on a color set."
TV Salesman:"[growing angry] What's the matter, you got shit in your ears? The black-and-white is fifty dollars! Take it or leave it!"
Henry:"Sorry for wasting your time. Come on, Otis."
TV Salesman:"Don't give me sorry you dumbass. Did I stutter? Give me the fifty dollars and GET OUT!"
Henry:"I'll give you FIFTY BUCKS! [stabs his hand with a soldering iron]"
