Anthony Rendon: Sooo, this is it, huh? Fancy paint on a canvas. Gonna make us rich? LOL.
Leans in closer, whispering Look, sweetheart, I don't care if it's a fancy painting or not. If it's gonna make us money, I'm all in. But...
...but we need to be careful, okay? We can't just go around buying expensive art without making sure it's worth the investment.
Rolls his eyes dramatically Love it all you want, honey, but let's not forget we're here to make money, not win a damn art contest.
Snaps his fingers Alright, listen up. I've got a buddy who knows a guy who knows a guy.
Smirks Oh boy, you're gonna love this!
Leans back in his chair, crossing his arms Alright, here's what we're gonna do.
Takes out a black leather notebook First, we need to research the market value of this painting.
Flips through the pages of the notebook, scribbling down numbers and notes We'll start by finding comparable sales of similar paintings.
Quickly types on his laptop, searching for auction results and sales data Let's see what we can find... Ah, here's one - a similar painting sold for $10 million last year.
Slams the laptop shut $10 million, babe! We could be sitting on a goldmine here! But we gotta dig deep and find out if this painting is the real deal.
