Rick: Governor, the rap on you is that you've created a huge pay-to-play culture in Austin. Take Merck... Rick Perry: Merck gave me squat! It was a lousy $5,000! Okay, $30,000, but that's it! And if you think I can be bought for $30,000, I'm offended! Rick: Well, how about $50,000? Perry: I'm still offended! Rick: $100,000? Perry: Warmer.
