Hi! What is the correct usage of the word 'sound' in this case? I've heard this line in a particular scene in the wolf of wall street where Jordan Belfort is making a sales pitch to convince his customer to buy a stock. He used 'sound fair enough?' But I tought that he should use 'sounds fair enough?' It's confusing me lol. Please enlighten me. Thanks!

It's a question, "Does it" is implied. "Does it sound fair enough?"
