THIS WEEK\u2019S HOSTS: Sean German and Dave Pallas from Groundhog Minute<\/h3>

“Twenty-five hundred!” says Roger. “My money’s as good as anybody’s.”<\/p>

“I have -,” says the auctioneer, pausing. “What was it?” he asks his assistant.<\/p>

“Twelve hundred,” says the assistant.<\/p>

“Twelve hundred,” repeats the auctioneer. “I have twelve hundred once, twelve hundred twice…”<\/p>

“Three thousand!” shouts Roger.\u00a0<\/p>

“Sold for twelve hundred,” says the auctioneer. The audience is in an uproar.\u00a0<\/p>

“Now I’m not going to let you get away with that! That’s unfair!” says Roger, as several auction employees walk toward him. One employee grabs him by the elbow.<\/p>

“Take your hands off me, or I’ll sue you!” says Roger, looking around at the crowd. He sees two police officers arrive.\u00a0<\/p>

Roger turns back to the auction house employee and lands a punch on the man’s chin, knocking him to the ground. Several people scream. The man gets up and takes a swing at Roger. Roger blocks the swing and punches the man in the stomach. He falls on top of the auction man as the police move to grab Roger.<\/p>

The Professor, on the other side of the crowd, watches the action, then leaves.\u00a0<\/p>

Leonard is unsure what to do.\u00a0<\/p>

Roger wrestles with the auction employee as the police scramble to arrest him.<\/p>

The auctioneer chews on a pen.\u00a0<\/p>

“What took you so long?” Roger asks the police as they hustle him our of the auditorium.<\/p>

“Let’s take a little walk,” says one of the police officers.\u00a0<\/p>

“Wait a minute,” says Roger. “I haven’t -“<\/p>

“Get moving!” says the other police officer.\u00a0<\/p>

“-finished bidding yet! Three thousand! I big three thousand!” yells Roger.\u00a0<\/p>

Roger and the police pass by Valerian. “I’m sorry, old man. Too bad. Keep trying,” says Roger.\u00a0<\/p>

The police drag Roger to to the entrance. “Not so rough!” says Roger.\u00a0 They pass by The Professor, who’s making a call in a phone booth.\u00a0<\/p>

Roger and the police wind up outside by a police car.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
