- Pawnbroker: Burnt my fingers, man.
- Louis Winthorpe III: I beg your pardon?
- Pawnbroker: Man, that watch is so hot, it's smokin'.

Six thousand, nine hundred and fifty five dollars retail!
- Pawnbroker: You got a receipt?
- Louis Winthorpe III: Look, it tells time simultaneously in Monte Carlo, Beverly Hills, London, Paris, Rome, and Gstaad.
- Pawnbroker: In Philadelphia, it's worth 50 bucks.
- Louis Winthorpe III: Just give me the money.
