[LM_NET] Target: Phrase used in Nancy Drew Movies

[Ann Wonderly <awonderly@DCBE.ORG>]

Turner Movie Classics channel showed 4 Nancy Drew movies that were made in the 
thirties this weekend.  Several times Nancy used the phrase....I'll bet you 
twenty-three eighty that.....  Does anyone know if this was a popular phrase at 
that time?  Why does she choose the amount 23.80?  I wonder if this phrase is used 
in the books or if it was added to the screen play.  One of the movies that she 
used the phrase in was The Hidden Staircase.  Any ideas?
