TV Salesman Quotes in Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986)

TV Salesman: You can't get color for fifty dollars.

Henry: That's okay, let's see what you got.

TV Salesman: What have I got? You want cable-ready? You want remote control? You want UHF? You want thirteen-inch? You want nineteen-inch? I bet you'd love to have a nineteen-inch. You want Sony? You want Zenith? Do you want a GoldStar?

Henry: What can we get for a hundred-and-fifty?

TV Salesman: [points to one of the other TV sets off-camera] We'll let you have this set for a hundred-and-fifty. It's worth three-hundred. But here, take a look at this. For an extra seventy-five, you can take this six-hundred dollar set.

Otis: [Otis picks up the video camera] What's this?

TV Salesman: It's a camcorder.

Otis: What?

TV Salesman: It's a video-tape recorder and camera rolled into one. You just pop in a cassette and you're ready to go.

Otis: You can make your own movies with that?

Henry: What else would you do with this? How much you want for it?

TV Salesman: It's worth a grand. I'd take half.

Henry: Five-hundred bucks?

TV Salesman: Yeah. Half of a grand is five-hundred dollars.

Otis: That's a little more than we were planning to spend. I think we should just take the TV.

TV Salesman: Okay, which one do you want?

Otis: The fifty dollar one.

TV Salesman: The fifty dollar one... You guys come in here, I show you this, I show you that.

[seems infuriated]

TV Salesman: You creeps got a lousy fifty dollars to spend, you should've stopped me a long time ago. Take the fifty dollar set and get the hell out, I'm a busy man.

Henry: Well, we were really counting on a color set.

TV Salesman: [growing angry] What's the matter, you got shit in your ears? The black-and-white is fifty dollars! Take it or leave it!

Henry: Sorry for wasting your time. Come on, Otis.

TV Salesman: Don't give me sorry you dumbass. Did I stutter? Give me the fifty dollars and GET OUT!

Henry: I'll give you FIFTY BUCKS!

[stabs his hand with a soldering iron]

TV Salesman: So what can I do for you, gentlemen?

Otis: Boy, it's hot in here. Isn't it?

TV Salesman: I'm kind of cold.

Otis: We want a TV.

TV Salesman: How much you got to spend?

Henry: [to Otis] What do you got?

Otis: Fifty bucks.

TV Salesman: [pointing to the B&W TV] I can let you have that set over there for fifty bucks.

Otis: Well, turn it on. We want to see if it works.

TV Salesman: What's the matter? Don't you trust me?

Otis: Uh uh.

TV Salesman: [grabs TV plug and hands it to Otis] Here. Plug it in, down there.

Otis: Here?

TV Salesman: Yeah, down there. Real good. I see you've had some college.

TV Salesman: [TV turns on playing static and in black-and-white] Like you can see it, works real good. Just takes a while to warm up.

Otis: It's black-and-white.

TV Salesman: Of course, it's black-and-white. What do you expect for fifty bucks? Fucking 3D for Christ's sake?

Otis: Well, how much is color? We want color.

TV Salesman: Have you considered what you would look like if you were to go completely bald?

Mrs. Willoughby: What?
