The line comes from The Room, the 2003 independent drama written, directed by and starring Tommy Wiseau. Drug dealer Chris-R, played by Dan Janjigian, corners Denny, played by Philip Haldiman, over money owed for drugs, before Johnny intervenes. The film became a cult favourite for its earnest acting, odd dialogue and disconnected scenes, and clips circulated widely online as midnight screenings and memes grew. This demand survived as a standalone quote because its stiff, serious delivery can be dropped into ordinary money disputes for comic effect.
