Here's nothing worth doing a man can do to keep his dignity

The judge won't scare easy.

I don't count on him scaring easy. You think it's beneath my dignity?

Well, you're governor, they tell me.

Yeah, I'm governor. The trouble with governors is they think they gotta keep their dignity. There's nothing worth doing a man can do to keep his dignity. Human frame ain't built that way. When I'm not governor anymore because I'm president... ...I wanna meet somebody at midnight, I'll do that then too.

Hi,

Is it true that worth is only used when talking about money?

I was wondering if in English country, they utter this: Nothing is worth....
Nothing is worth a real massage. Why would you go out and buy a massage chair.

Thanks.

No.

No. Like this: Nothing is worth my spending a week in solitary confinement. Nothing is worth enduring Delhi in the summer.

You'll get solitary confinement if you date the General's daughter — All right, I won't ask her out, then. Nothing is worth...

Now, you see if you can prefix the Delhi remark, Alex.
