The skit doesn't seem to be available online so I will summarize it.

Groucho calls in a plumber to fix a small problem. He asks for a quote.

The plumber quotes an outrageous price for doing all sorts of unnecessary work.

Groucho tries to bargain the cost down by asking the plumber to delete the extra tasks.

Each time the plumber deletes an extra task he raises the total quoted cost.

Finally the exasperated Groucho says 'How much would it cost if you didn't fix anything?'

Plumber: 'You couldn't afford it"
