Howie Mandel: I really appreciate just the two of us meeting like this.
Alex Moss: Absolutely. No agents. No lawyers. No other broad professions I assume are associated with house-selling because I am 19 years old.
HM: Contractors.
AM: Contractors, obviously. Landscapers. What did you need to talk about?
HM: Well your last offer I felt was a very fair one. I just wanted to make sure you hadn’t reneged on it.
AM: See, here’s the thing. That might be my final offer. But just for the sake of clarity, I would need you to ask me point blank.
HM: Just ask?
AM: Just ask.
HM: All right – will you buy this house at the aforementioned price?
AM: Maybe. Ask me another way. Ask me if you think, in my opinion, if this sale is going to go through or not.
HM: Don’t be difficult. Just tell me if we have a deal or not.
AM: I don’t know. You tell me. Do we
HM: Oh.
AM: Have a
HM: Oh.
AM: Deal, or don’t we?
HM: So you have no legitimate interest in buying the house then?
AM: No, I do not.
