Jamie Lee Curtis - Trading Places (1983)

Listen, taxis cost money, food costs money, and rent costs money.

Now, you want me to help you out?

I expect a lot in return.

These were here when I moved in.

Put them on if you want.

Look, I cannot begin to tell you how much I appreciate this, uh...

Um... - Ophelia.

Ophelia? You realize that that's the name that...

I know, I know, I know. Hamlet's girlfriend. He went crazy. She killed herself.

This is not Shakespeare, Louis.

Look, I'm 24 years old. I'm from a small, miserable little mining town you probably never heard of.

The only thing I got going for me in this whole big, wide world is this body, this face...

...when I got up here.

I don't do *****.

I don't have a pimp.

This place is a dump, but it's cheap, it's clean, and it's all mine.

I've saved 42 grand in its "in T" bills, earning interest.

I figure I've got three more years on my back, I'll have enough to retire on.

You're a prostitute.

I'm talking about a business proposition, Louis.

I help you get yourself back on your feet, and you pay me, in cash, five figures.

That's the deal, and it's not subject to negotiation.

Understood?

By the way, food and rent are not the only things around here that cost money.
