20 dollar tour

Hello there,
I am watching this episode of LOST where there is this Sawyer character that is talking to this Kate character about theJack and Anna-Louise cherocter and says something that sounds to me like "tlooks like a 20 dollar tour".

Well, I might have misunderstood since I can't find this expression on-line ;(.
Can anyone help?

Regards
Walsky

Where I come from the saying is"The 50 cent tour" it means to see the basic things in a whirl.

"The 50 cent tour" was a common phrase when I was growing up in Cleveland in the 1950's meaning a quick and basic look at something without a lot of explanation along the way. From the inflation calculator at http://www.westegg.com/inflation/ 50 cents in 1955 would be worth $3.44 in 2005, so the new term is significantly
