> [@Eleanor\_of\_Aquitaine](#): > > _Pretty Woman_ - the amount Richard Gere pays Julia Roberts to spend the week with him. Ding ding ding! 🙂 About the $240 worth of pudding: that was . . . weird. Still awaiting answers: S3: $38.82 S6: “Here’s a dime.” (Actual dialogue; I’m anticipating a particular incorrect guess) And I’ll add another: S7: “FOUR dollars?” (Hint: this one comes from the same movie as another clue already mentioned, and the movie was a wrong guess for a different clue.) **want2know:** Would a bit of dialogue help with your clues, or give them away? ---

Levon was Michael Ian Black, the current host of “Reality Bites Back.” These three are hardish, so I’ll give a hint: they’re all movies with a common theme. pr3: $570 - $20 for the job, $50 for the date, $500 for expenses pr4: $250, just this once, then you retire pr5: $1000 reward for a hairpiece, dead or alive ---

Here’s another one from the same movie: $85 a month (it used to be $80) Here’s the full line for the dime reference: “Just making a personal call. Here’s a dime.” ---
