Quotes1

  • Auctioneer: Now, the next animal will truly amaze you! A fine steed of great breeding! So. What? What? You, you there boy! Get out of here! Off there! I have no time for this! Go away, Boy! Go away!
  • Boy: But please, sir. This donkey's for sale.
  • Auctioneer: Well this is a horse market! I haven't got time to waste on a scrawny donkey!
  • Boy: He's not scrawny! He's a strong donkey. He's gentle and kind. And good enough to be in a king's stable!
  • Auctioneer: A king's stable? Did you say? Did you hear that gentlemen? It seems we have the Prince of Donkeys with us today! Yes! Take note of this wel muscled animal! The alert stance! And deer heart! Come gentlemen! Do not hesitate! Who will start the bidding at one thousand pieces of silver? But look closly my friends! Observe the sleek coat! And the tail! This is a tail?
  • Boy: Stop it! Let go of his tail!
  • Auctioneer: I assure you gentlemen! He is as strong as a bull!
  • Boy: Get off him!
  • Auctioneer: Move! Move!
  • Boy: Get off him! Get off!
  • Auctioneer: The king's donkey!
  • [the Small One knocks the Auctioneer out, the Auctioneer falls down into the ground, he breaks free, everybody laughs, who causes the Auctioneer to get more angry as his eyes become bloodshot and his face turns red and contorts into an expression of pure rage. Clearly not the reaction the boy and the small one were hoping for. The boy and the small one are scared by the angry Auctioneer, they try to leave]
  • Auctioneer: Get that miserable beast, out of here!
  • [he angrily throws a small vase at them, the boy and the small one takes off scared, accidentally dropping a basket of melons, chasing the chickens away, they hides on the wall]
  • Auctioneer: [the auctioneer continues to host] Now gentlemen! Now that we had our fun and disposed of the King's donkey!
  • [from O.C]
  • Auctioneer: I wish to direct your attention to a truly amazing.
