You could ride that wave all the way home????

Hi guys,

Can you please clarify me this metaphoric phrase? I heard it in this context: "Waitress in the strip club sees the strip dancer counting the money....

Waitress: Hey, you shouldn't flash that around.

Waitress: Everybody here needs more money.

Waitress: What'd you do anyway, rob a bank?

strip dancer: It's from a customer.

Waitress (little jokingly) :You could ride that wave all the way home...Emotion: sadEmotion: sad...(Please guys, I'm out here...:-(((

strip dancer: It's not like that; he's a nice guy.

many thanks in advance for your help...

Best Regards

It means that she could continue to get advantage from her acticities. ' And I presume all the way home means completely.

Meaning here 'You could continue taking advantage of the guy.'
And I presume all the way home means completely.

JCDentonHi Madhulk,
Are you sure about that meaning?

Only for the first part. I'm not sure is it completely though.
To ride on/a/the wave means to become involved with and get advantages
from opinions or activities which have become very common or popular.
