Luigi: I'm afraid so. With Mario all back to normal, there's just no reason for us to-
Toadsworth: The bill?

Luigi: OK, let's see here... HOLY SHY GUY'S MASK! You're joking, right?! Can we undo the operation and save our money?!

Tataru: I'm sorry - did I hear that right? You used Scion funds to buy Gosetsu's katana... at the asking price?
Alphinaud: Aye, well, we were in some haste, and it seemed a worthwhile gesture. Speaking of which, here is the contract of sale. Pray see that the man is paid.
Tataru: Thal's... beard. You agreed to this? Give me strength...
[...]
Alphinaud: Oh, come along - Tataru was overreacting. How much could a single katana possibly cost?
Alisaie: Far more than you think, plainly. A blade like Gosetsu's is worth a fortune. Enough to buy a house and furnish it. Which you would know had you bothered to check the price.

Luigi: But a coin a minute, Mario? That's gonna add up fast! (flashback) Remember the trouble we got into with that speak-to-Santa hotline back in Brooklyn?
