Duke: Not sure yet, I'm either going to open a massage parlour in Aspen, start a training center for attack dogs, or run for elective office... Man: Ha, ha! That's great! Voice: Thank you, sir. Duke: Yes. You with the twitch. Voice: Mr. Ambassador, how much do you get paid for college "lectures" like this? Duke: Two thousand dollars. Time for one more question. Man: Ha, ha! Outrageous! That's just incredibly outrageous!
