Pass on the old man's dole money (with-by-to) someone
This sentence was taken from the audio of a US movie released in 1956. I think that the preposition that should be used here is "to", but it's not what the actor says. I am almost sure that he uses either "by" or "with", not sure because the audio isn't quite good.
Is any of them (by - with) good grammar here?
Dialogue:
- Bring that much cash with you! That's just asking for trouble.
- It was the proposition: pass on the old man's dole money __**__ Tony Lamarr.
