some questions
1) " Rolling in benjamins "
Does this expression mean, to have a lot of money in general ?2) "Word is "
Is this some way of shortening something like " the word of mouth is ..."
Word is, he has even been approached by Hollywood producers to discuss a television sitcom.3) " Do me right, all right ? "
The other day I was watching a movie, and a police detective ( a woman ) was asking a man for a favor in an investigation , and she said :
Do me right, all right ?
It sounds to me like a sexual kind of thing , but in the context , sounded more like a special favor for some information .
When do you think would be correct to use such an expression , either for a woman or man to say it ?
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP

1, 2: you're right. 3. Haven't seen the movie, but it doesn't seem to be something sexual in the context, but: "please behave ethically/morally (with regard) to me" "treat me fairly" as do someone dirt is the opposite You should know better what transpired in the conversation.

To add to #1 - Benjamin Franklin is (or at least used to be - I haven't seen one in a while) on the $100 bill. If you're rolling in Benjamins, you have a lot of money.
