The Merv Griffin Show Season 9, Episode 6

Doctor

There's been massive trauma. We could of course try to save him but, it would be costly, difficult and we'd have to send away for some special really tiny instruments.

George

Well, uh, are there any other options?

Doctor

We, could put him to sleep.

George

What might that cost?

Doctor

Well it's by the pound. So ... about 80 cents.
