I'll give you twenty-five dollars for helping me out, in case what I want to do only takes a day or two days.

If it takes more, I'll give you ten dollars a day.

It isn't much, but it helps when you're broke." Bland permitted the sour droop of his lips to ease into a grin.
"Now you're coming somewhere near the point, bo," he said.

"But ten dollars--say! Ten dollars ain't street-car fare.

Not in little old L.A.
Make it twenty, bo, and you're on." "I'll make it nothing if ten dollars a day don't suit you!" Johnny declared hotly.
