Wrong.
Robert Caulfield
Can I have one more guess?

You got it.
Robert Caulfield
The second one.
Albain
Wrong. I'm both of them. My name is AlBaine. Now, I got a son. You know, the other A was for him but he don't like to fly. He became a lawyer. I think he's a pervert so I took the A away from him. You want to speak to someone in charge, you're speaking to the both of them.

Robert Caulfield
Mr Albaine, how much do you charge to dust a field?

Twenty five dollars to dust a field, but you ain't got no field because you ain't no farmer, which means you ain't poor and I think you're a pervert!
Robert Caulfield
Okay, one hundred.
Albain
One hundred and twenty five.
Robert Caulfield
What?
Albain
Because you said yes to a hundred too quick, which means you can afford a hundred and twenty five.
