It's one new PC, Michael. How much could it cost? $10?

based on the context of the show shed say like 10,000$ but I like yours better lol

What's 10 dollars? The people saying this are too rich to understand poor numbers. They probably think in terms of "a new pc costs less than an hour at my favorite spa, people are complaining too much".

Arrested Development tv show. Pretty funny. The family fortune started with the dad opening a banana stand in his youth.

ALT: 2 panels. 1st panel- Rich mom from Arrested Development sitcom, holding a cup, opulent home, saying "I mean it's one banana, Michael. How much could it cost? Ten dollars?"

2nd panel- Michael sitting back, head on hand saying "you've never actually stepped foot in a supermarket, have you?"

Oh damn! I watched the show many years ago, but the joke flew straight over my head.

It's a joke from a tv show. The rich out of touch lady thinks bananas "only cost" ten dollars.

Ahead of its time, predicting the consequences of tariffs like that.
