Mike: Welcome, everyone, to our Celebrity Memorial Auction. We’ve got some remarkable items on the block today, so let’s get right to it. First up.. Lot 1-B: Anthony Hopkins’ Oscar award. [ holds up the Award ]
Dennis: That’s right, Mike. This is a, uh.. 1991 – this is the one he won for, uh.. for “Silence of the Lambs”. How ’bout that? Something, huh? Now.. we recently acquired this when Mr. Hopkins died. So..
Bidder #1: Uh.. excuse me. Yeah. Anthony Hopkins isn’t dead.
Dennis: Uh, right.. well, actually.. he, uh.. he gave up the Oscar because he needed the money.

Mike: This collection was very important to Meryl. She kept it hidden in a steel safe, which was built into the wall of her bedroom. The only way you could reach the safe.. was by sawing through the wall and ripping out a section of it.
Dennis: Yeah.. really tough.
Bidder #4: Um.. pardon me. Um.. why do you gentlemen have this.. stuff?
