Florida, folks... sunshine, sunshine. Perpetual sunshine all the year around. Let's get the auction started before we get a tornado.

Think of the opportunities here in Florida. Three years ago I came to Florida without a nickel in my pocket. And now I've got a nickel in my pocket.

Hello. Hello. No, we no got a no rooms. We got a nothing. We got a no customers. We got a nothing.

I'm going down to meet the 4:15. If I never come back, you'll know I'm still waiting for the train. -Yes, sir.
