Quotes
- Mayor: Wow, Tom... I wish I could help you here, but... I just don't want to.
- Kaplan: Mm hmm... Oh, I'm sorry to have to say this, but... you'd have to lock these up for at least a hundred years before they would increase in value.
Tom: Yeah, but the lady on the phone said that --
Kaplan: I'm not done. There would also have to be some sort of crazy Mad Max or Waterworld type situation where porcelain becomes more valuable than gold.
