| Apr 2, 2014 at 12:50 | comment | added | Damkerng T. | @Nico As you wish. Previously, I thought TylerJamesYoung's comments were clear enough. However, I changed my mind because it might be better to make the scene clear. Also, I want to point out the pun, which seems to be overlooked. | |

| Apr 2, 2014 at 12:32 | comment | added | NANDAGOPAL | @DamkerngT Sorry I did not know this conversation was actually a scene from a movie. I just made an assumption, and my answer ended up being very similar to your comment. Not intentional. I did not notice your comment earlier. | |

| Apr 2, 2014 at 5:59 | comment | added | Damkerng T. | @ZhanlongZheng It's a wordplay (which is something usual in movie scripts). Steve (the second guy) iss selling his gold to Yevhen (the first guy), who is a gangster. Yevhen says, "A little walking around money", when he gives a box of money to Steve. He could say "Here is your money," but that wouldn't sound like what a gangster says. Open the box; look at the money; Steve thinks the money isn't as much as he should get; he says, "I guess I'm not walking as far as I thought." The script deliberately makes a pun on the idiom "walking around money" by having Steve say "not walking as far ...". | |

| Apr 2, 2014 at 5:37 | comment | added | Kinzle B | OK, I will wait, but I might think it doesn't imply street money or pocket money here. Sort of black money or what, in this context. @TylerJamesYoung | |
| Apr 2, 2014 at 5:33 | comment | added | Tyler James Young | I think it's general reference so I've voted to close. If you agree, then you have the option to delete it because you wrote it. You can also wait to hear other opinions besides mine. | |
| Apr 2, 2014 at 5:32 | comment | added | Damkerng T. | The dialog you gave is missing something. If you watched the movie it would be clearer in the context because the first guy gives the second guy (who didn't tell where he got the gold from) a load of money before saying the last line. | |
| Apr 2, 2014 at 5:31 | comment | added | Kinzle B | Do I need to close it myself? @TylerJamesYoung | |
| Apr 2, 2014 at 5:29 | comment | added | Tyler James Young | It's a fixed phrase. You can't really apply “walking around” to other nouns. | |

| Apr 2, 2014 at 5:28 | comment | added | Kinzle B | Thx, I have been searching "walk around" but get nothing. | |
| Apr 2, 2014 at 5:28 | comment | added | Maulik V | @TylerJamesYoung +1 can you put this as an answer and also explain the meaning in that context? It'll be helpful | |
