for the care and welfare of the spirits

in the bowl on your way out.

Oh, thank you. Come again.

Hi.

Hey! What's the big idea?

Well, kisses, one buck, right?

But I don't work here. Can't you read?

I'm executive committee.

I work here.

Well, now, so you do.

Well, that is what I call

a real good dollar kiss.

- Plenty of value for the money.

- Would you hold this a minute, please?

How would you like to try

the five-dollar special?

Five-dollar special.

May I have my badge?

Thank you.

Oh, no, I'm terribly sorry.

Only one to a customer.

Excuse me.

Oh, Miss Stowecroft.

If I could get that room now, please?

Oh, Ishmael! Come along, please.

The auction is about to begin.

Ladies and gentlemen of Godolphin

and neighbouring community...

you all know the purpose

of this bazaar.

Our good friends,

the Daughters of the Buccaneers...

took over this old ruin many years ago

and turned it into a cultural landmark.

They serve tea,

cooked chicken dinners...

even turned part of it

into a boarding house...

anything to keep it going,

but that's not enough.

And unless enough money

is raised tonight...

this place that has been their home

for so many years...

will pass into the hands

of strangers.

So, when Miss Stowecroft

begins to auction off...

the treasured mementoes, the fine

antiques and the family heirlooms...

that these good ladies have

so generously donated to the cause...

I beg you to search your hearts

and to bid cheerfully...

boldly and very, very generously.

Thank you. Miss Stowecroft.

Thank you, Professor Baker.

Lot number one.

A fine antique pistol...

which has been in the immediate

family of Miss Emily Jeffrey...

past president

of the Daughters of the Buccaneers...

for many, many years.

- Now...

- Uh, one dollar.

Oh, can't we do better than that?

Who'll give me $20?

Do I hear $20?

Oh, the gentleman in the back

just waved.

The gentleman in the back says, "$20."

Who'll give me $30?

- Thirty dollars.

- Thirty-five dollars.

- Forty.

- Fifty dollars.

- Sixty dollars.

- Seventy.

Do I hear $80?

- Eighty dollars!

- One hundred dollars!

One hundred dollars bid!

Do I hear 110?

Professor Baker, how about

your nice young man in the back?

Oh, I don't think so.

He just backed into his shell.

Very well.

One hundred dollars once.

One hundred dollars twice.

Sold!

All right, move in.

- One hundred dollars.

- Thank you.

- Lot number two. A genuine antique...

- You got taken, buddy. This is a fake.

- Copper-bottomed bed warmer.

- Take my advice.

Don't bid on anything else.

- I think well over 250 years old.

- You mean the warming pan is fake too?

That's tourist junk.
