Barkerisms - Slighty tardy edition

Now, for some badly needed laughs...

"I just want you to know that was one of the most elaborate 'come on downs' ever on the Price Is Right!" - Bob, in response to Evelyn's lengthy trip down to Contestant's Row

"If it's anything like her come on down, we may need a commercial while she's coming up here!" - Bob, after Evelyn won her way up on stage

"Wait, don't interupt this young man, he's making perfect sense!"
"Bob, you're the king!"
"Andre, you and I are going to get along fine!"
- Bob, pleased with Andre's "Bob Is King" shirt (a parody of the Burger King logo)

"She's so proud of me because I explained that so well!" - Bob, on Lois' enthusiam while he described Double Prices

"I hope we're not going to ruin the honeymoon!" - Bob, after 80 year old George (on a honeymoon with his 70 year old wife) wiped out on Pathfinder

"During the commercial, I told this group in red what was going to happen... Because we all know that they're all here from a place of business, and there's a 'flu epidemic', and they've all taken off from work. I said one of you will probably get on the show, win his way - or her way - into the showcase, win it, then they'll all come up and be seen, and then they'll all be on unemployment tomorrow! And what's bad is all the rest of us, with our tax money, will be taking care of them! That's what's going to happen!" - Bob, giving a group of people playing hookey a lecture on responsibility!

"What would you do, Bob?"
"I'd pick another number!"
- Bob, after John made the mistake of trying to ask for advice while playing Money Game

"Esther, they're booing you because you didn't get it all the way around. Now, you have family here with you from the Philipines? Well, they'll go home, and the word will spread. They'll know all throughout the Philipines that you were booed!" - Bob, after Esther's puny spin

(And, no, not THAT Esther. I mean, can you imagine if SHE spun the wheel? You seen her arms lately? She'd probably break the damned thing!)

"I'll be gentle, I promise!"
"You'll be gentle? I love your attitude!"
- Bob, quite relieved that Josephine isn't going to squeeze the life out of his old, brittle body

"You're the third contestant I've ever had who's understood how to play Check Game!" - Bob, with even more reason to like Josephine

"Can't we change the rules this one time, and make the limit $6,500?!" - Bob, after Josephine sadly lost Check Game

"And the cookware should've been $5.60!" - Bob, laughing at himself after he slipped and referred to Susanne's $198 guess for the cookware on Make Your Move (which was wrong!) was "A dollar ninety eight"

"We've been spinning this big wheel for years, and for years, if you get $1.00, you win $1,000 and a bonus spin. But in the case of Rebecca, she must get $1.98!" - Bob, still having fun over his slip

"During the last commercial break, he was on his feet, whining 'Bob, this is my 12th time here! How do I get Rich to call my name?' He practically had tears streaming down his face. I told him 'All you need to do is slip Rich a few dollars!'" - Bob, on the irony that Justin just got called on down after talking to him during the previous break

The Barkerism Of The Week:

"I just learned a wonderful thing... I am more popular among Riverside biochemistry students than amino acids!". And you have no idea how humiliated I would've been if amino acids were more popular at my hometown's university than Bob!
