--> '''Mike''': With no cash?!
--> '''Servo''': Yep. It's called the "no-cash" method.
* {{Landlord}}: Servo spends the episode's host segments trying to buy a house with no funds ("It's called the No-Cash method") and no clue what he's doing so he can become one of these. Mike shrugs and says that Servo's going to jail because of this.
