    ⓘ Show me the money Cette phrase (""fais-moi voir l'argent") vient du film américain Jerry Maguire (1996), dans lequel Tom Cruise joue le rôle d'un manager sportif. L'un de ses clients, incarné par Cuba Gooding, prononce ces mots à maintes reprises lors de négociations. On utilise cette phrase de façon allusive en anglais américain dans des contextes similaires, comme dans l'exemple suivant: forget about the free CDs and baseball caps, just show me the money ("les casquettes de base-ball et les CDs gratuits ne m'intéressent pas, parlons argent""), ou bien lorsqu'on réclame une somme due: I won the bet, so show me the money ("j'ai gagné le pari, alors donne-moi mon argent"").
