Quote #242
BUM: Say, mister, can you spare a dollar?
CRACKERS: I can easily spare the sum you name, but it seems to me
that most beggars would customarily suggest a more modest
amount, such as a nickel.
BUM: I guess they would, at that; but I am ambitious, and mean
to rise in my chosen calling.

Parrot" (in _American Pie_)
