[edit]What does "signed for one day" mean?
[edit]Patrick asks Dana about money:
Dana: It had been signed for one day by the staff at Grande Liquor, and they missed it. It was in the trolley, so...
Patrick: You stole it?
Dana: Yeah, I f*cking stole it.
What does "signed for one day" mean? Rizosome (talk) 16:22, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
- You have not given the source, Rizosome, so I can only guess; but my guess is it means "on one particular day, somebody signed for it", i.e. signed a docket that it had been received. --ColinFine (talk) 17:48, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
- Agreed. Rizosome, I think you are not properly separating the words in your mind. There are two phrases running together here: "signed for" and "one day". --Khajidha (talk) 18:58, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
- It is dialogue from the film Wrath of Man, H interrogating Dana about her cash stash. --Lambiam 22:48, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
