English term or phrase: No days off for good behavior
[From a movie script:]
"Hey, Mr. Murdoch, the Automat called. Said you left your wallet there.
I suggest you retrieve it, since you only paid for three weeks, and they was up 15 minutes ago.
- I've been here three weeks?
- It's right there in black and white, Mr. Murdoch.
Day and date. We make our books like we make our beds, all neat and tidy.
-I'll take care of it later.
-See that you do.
..only thing makes you a guest in this joint... is cash on the barrelhead! - House rules - Three weeks is three weeks.
***No days off for good behavior***"
