There's a movie called Eurotrip. Its about 3 college aged kids taking a road trip through Europe.
I forget what country they get to, but it's a run down mostly Indian country. They stay at a hotel, and the bell hop handles their bags. They try to give him a tip, but realize they only have like 17 cents. So he gives him a nickle, and says "Its not much, but maybe having some American money is novel."
The bellhop is shocked. Made to look like he's angry. So the bellhops boss is just walking by. This is after his interaction with the main characters are done. His boss starts yelling at him. And he yells "FUCK YOU! YOU SEE THIS??? I GOT A NICKLE!!! I OPEN MY OWN HOTEL!!!" And the boss is horrified. He says something like "For a nickle, that hotel will be the nicest in (whatever country they were in)."
Your comment reminds me of that scene.
But do you think Scotty ever found out?
Don't tell him just in case.
