Trivia
Per the title, Seward's Folly was a nickname from opponents of The Alaska Purchase by the United States from the Russian Empire in 1867 at the behest of Secretary of State William Seward for $7.2 million. Those opposed did not feel that the purchased was worth it and the territory did not reach its full potential until well into the twentieth century.

Quotes

Jason McCord: If you mean Alaska, yes.
Hotel Clerk: Well, I heard we paid seven million for...
Jason McCord: You've got good hearing. I hope you heard my message.
