Quote from Sophia in Rites of Spring
[flashback:] Dorothy: Damn! Sophia: What's the matter, Pussycat? Dorothy: I can't balance my checkbook. Oh, to hell with it. I'm only off by a few pennies. Sophia: A few pennies. To you it may not be much, but back in Sicily a few pennies could make the difference between owning a gun and having to insert bullets into your victim manually.
