As Suzuki Roshi was walking out of the building to meet his ride to Los Altos, a woman at the top of the steps called out to the driver, "You be careful now; we don't want to lose our treasure!"

Suzuki turned, made a loud SMACK! with his hands, and called out, "No more!" He threw his head back and laughed and continued to laugh as the car drove off.
