Billy Ray Valentine: [after Ophelia and Coleman stop Louis from choking Billy Ray]
Billy Ray Valentine: [gasping]
Billy Ray Valentine: It was an experiment... to see how our lives would turn out... the Dukes arranged it... they made a bet.
Coleman: I'm afraid it's true, sir.
Ophelia: I believe him, Louie.
Louis Winthorpe III: The Dukes... ruined my life... over a bet? For how much?
Billy Ray Valentine: A dollar.
Louis Winthorpe III: One dollar... fine. That's the way they want it? No problem.
