if you think he's the only rich dude to say whatever he needs to get what he wants, i've got a bridge to sell ya
what am i supposed to do with a bridge
edit: oh i think i get it now. very clever
It's a reference to someone "selling" the Brooklyn bridge to someone else for scrap long ago. I think so anyway.
I thought it was about selling the bridge as a toll bridge.

You are correct
Which wouldn’t be a bad investment if they could prove your buying the right to toll the bridge.
Woosh goes the joke
i thought it was something something “that’s a bridge too far”, and so they need exactly one bridge
It's a saying that he'll sell you a bridge that he doesn't own because you're gullible.
ooh that makes a lot more sense than what i was thinking
