That's a paraphrase from KILLING ME SOFTLY. But hey, they're confusing you with Brad Pitt. Ride that.

This has been a stripper mantra since forever. I used to know a dancer who had that phrase and hundred-dollar bills tattooed prominently around her thigh like a stuffed garter.

I believe I deserve full credit for that line, personally.

It’s kinda my whole thing.

Can I fuck you and not pay you?

I'm just asking for accountancy reasons.

corwincannuck.bsky.social•3 days ago

Oh dammit... or are you supposed to pay me?

This is why I have accountants.

Looks like Mike Monteiro isn't on bluesky yet but https://www.mikemonteiro.com/ here's his site. I see the video is already linked here too - that's almost certainly the genesis of the expression even though he's definitely not the first person to say it :)
