I believe it's actually "Ahoy hoy" (like Mr. Burns says when answering the phone....I'm actually watching Sideshow Bob trying to kill Bart (again) right now.)
But I'll assume it's D. Ahoy, Final, that you're looking for.

When I wrote the question I didn't know he declined it, what idiot would decline a 1,000,000 dollar prize, even if he would of only gotten 500,000 dollar, because he split it with Kissenger.
