Reminds me of the Winston Churchill story:

“Churchill: "Madam, would you sleep with me for five million pounds?" Socialite: "My goodness, Mr. Churchill... Well, I suppose... we would have to discuss terms, of course... "

Churchill: "Would you sleep with me for five pounds?"

Socialite: "Mr. Churchill, what kind of woman do you think I am?!"

Churchill: "Madam, we've already established that. Now we are haggling about the price.”

We've already established that they will fork. Now we are haggling about the price.

Considering how powerful, famous and charismatic he was, I think, makes one consider that maybe it was Churchill who was being insulted, not the socialite.

"Would you sleep with me?" "Maybe for a million dollars..."
