I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'mention' is the first definition.
(I know that mention can be written as quote)

'a price' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for quote that I've seen before include "Give estimate of (price)" , "Cite - likely cost of work to be done" , "quantify the damage" , "That's what was said" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent and The Irish News.
