LOL-This is my favorite scene in "Family Business" when J.J goes on and on about taking Henrietta out with one dollar. Great Comedy writing

"With one dollar me and henrietta went to McDonald's and got two big macs, two orders of fries, and milkshakes and went to the movies to see Dracula bites boston while nibbling on a Giant Snickers bar and still came home with 37 cents jiggling in my jeans"

LOL-I love that scene and the message it gave off-"There is a way to get what you want you just have to be smart about it"

So, are you wondering how he did it? Or are you happy that he was ABLE to do it? LOL

:lol: Compared to growing up in the '80's and '90's, it was cheap. I don't remember spending only a dollar for a night out, I almost spent $50 on a night out(the '90's) sometimes even $200(I guess growing up in "The Real O.C" didn't help my case)

JJ: Well, I owed Henrietta five and a quarter, but You got to think BIG!
