Riffing off **Sampiro’s** address thread . . . I thought of this game while watching a movie last night. The idea’s pretty simple: Name the movie or TV show in which the amount of money is mentioned.
If you’re giving an amount, feel free to include the relevant dialogue if necessary. I imagine that some clues may have more than one answer.
Here we go!
S1: £6,894,620
S2: $3,000
S3: $38.82
S4: $2
S5: $1.09
S6: “Here’s a dime.” (Actual dialogue; I’m anticipating a particular incorrect guess)

I don’t know any of yours, but would $1 = Buck Rogers? 😕

Here’s a dime?
Is the anticipated incorrect guess Blazing Saddles?

No, but who’d’a thunk there’d be two wrong answers? (I don’t know enough about Blazing Saddles to get the reference.)
The $70,000 is a stumper for both me and Mr. S. 😕
I have a few more but I’ll wait and see if anyone else posts them.

S2: $3,000 is the amount of money offered to the Beatles by Lorne Michaels to reunite on SNL. (I won a Beatles trivia contest on that very question.)
“Split it up any way you’d like…if you want to give Ringo a little less, that’s up to you.”
S5: $1.09 is the amount of each check written by Navin Johnson to each member of the Opti-Grab class action suit in “The Jerk.”

Sheriff Bart installs a tollbooth outside of Rock Ridge to slow down Hedley’s marauders. Slim Pickens’ line is “Somebody’s gotta go back and get a shitload of dimes!”

Yep.
I’m wondering if $70,000 is from The Verdict.

A duplicate correct answer – good one! But not the one I was thinking of.

Yup.

No (not that I know of, at least). It’s a key point in the plot of the movie.
