- I'll find time for both.

- I'll show you how you can make some real money.
- I'm going to hold an auction in a little while in Cocoanut Manor.
- You know what an auction is, eh?
- I come from Italy on the Atlantic Auction.
- Well, let's go ahead as if nothing happened.
- Well, maybe we can cut out the auction.
- Here's what I mean. If somebody says $100, you say two. If somebody says two, you say three.
- Bid up.
- Now, if nobody says anything, then you start it off.
- How am I gonna know when they no say nothin'?
- Well, they'll probably notify you.
- You fool, if they don't say anything, you'll hear 'em, won't you?
- Now then, if we're successful in disposing of these lots, I'll see that you get a nice commission.
- Well, you can have your choice.
