The audience is in an uproar. “Now I’m not going to let you get away with that! That’s unfair!” says Roger, as several auction employees walk toward him.

The man gets up and takes a swing at Roger. Roger blocks the swing and punches the man in the stomach. He falls on top of the auction man as the police move to grab Roger.The Professor, on the other side of the crowd, watches the action, then leaves. Leonard is unsure what to do. Roger wrestles with the auction employee as the police scramble to arrest him.The auctioneer chews on a pen. “What took you so long?” Roger asks the police as they hustle him our of the auditorium.“Let’s take a little walk,” says one of the police officers. “Wait a minute,” says Roger. “I haven’t -““Get moving!” says the other police officer. “-finished bidding yet!
