A quotation from Watterson, Bill

CALVIN: If I’ve learned one thing in life, it’s that everyone has his price. Raise the ante high enough and there’s no such thing as scruples! People will do _any_thing if the price is right!

HOBBES: What’s your price?

CALVIN: Two bucks cold cash up front.

HOBBES: I don’t know which is worse, … that everyone has his price, or that the price is always so low.

Bill Watterson (b. 1958) American cartoonist
Calvin and Hobbes (1992-04-08)
