DRUNK CINEMA 092: "Used Cars" Is Up!

 
"Yes, sir -- That's New Deal Used Cars! Now wait just a goddamn minute...What the hell is this? Is this a 1974 Mercedes 450SL for twenty-four thousand dollars? That's too fuckin' high."

* Car explodes *
"You son of a bitch!"
"Yes, sir -- We blew the shit out of that overpriced motherfucker just the way we blow the shit out of all high prices, down here at New Deal Used Cars. So, y'all come on down! Did you hear what I said? New Deal Used Cars. So, y'all come on down! Did you hear what I said?"
-- Jeff (as Marshal Lucky) and Roy L. Fuchs, Used Cars
