"And That's When the Big Bucks Start Rolling In" is a memorable quote uttered by the character Maurice in the 1988 comedy film Coming to America. Online, screenshots of the scene in which Maurice says the line for jokes about success in business.

Origin

On June 26th, 1988, the film Coming to America premiered in the United States.[1] In the film, the characters Prince Akeem and Semmi meet their co-worker Maurice (portrayed by Eddie Murphy, Arsenio Hall and Louie Anderson, respectively) during a shift at the McDonald's analog "McDowell's." When Maurice greets his co-workers, he says, "Hey, I started out mopping the floor just like you guys. But now… now I'm washing lettuce. Soon I'll be on fries; then the grill. In a year or two, I'll make assistant manager, and that's when the big bucks start rolling in."
