Here is the plot description for “The Extra Man”:
“The Extra Man” follows Louis Ives (Paul Dano): a lonely dreamer who fancies himself the hero of an F. Scott Fitzgerald novel. When a deeply embarrassing incident forces him to leave his job at an exclusive Princeton prep school, Louis heads to New York City to make a fresh start. He quickly finds a 9-to-5 job at an environmental magazine where he encounters an entrancing, green-obsessed co-worker named Mary (Katie Holmes).
But what really sparks Louis’ imagination is his new home life. He rents a room in the ramshackle apartment of Henry Harrison (Kevin Kline): a penniless, wildly eccentric and brilliant playwright.
When Henry’s not dancing alone to obscure music, he’s performing with great panache the duties of an “extra man”: a social escort for the wealthy widows of Manhattan high society. The two men develop a volatile mentorship that leads to a series of urban adventures. They encounter everything from a leaping lion to a wildly jealous hirsute neighbor to drunken non-agenarians to a shady Swiss hunchback.
Along his exploration into the heart of New York City, Henry and Louis have unexpected influences on each other and form a memorable bond that bridges their differences. “The Extra Man” is a sophisticated and moving comedy from filmmakers Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini.

What Price?
Given today’s economy - I’d say $10 Million in small unmarked bills placed in a bank account some where in the Caman Islands. There would be a time limit and a list of do’s and don’ts. Anything freaky would be extra.
depending...
It sounds really bad, but I’d be very particular but happy to “help” anyone really - for nothing less than $1,000.00.
What Price?
I wouldn’t.
Exra Man
Never in a million years…would rather be poor!
What price?
It does depend on who the customer would be…no less than $10,000 though. ;)
$19.95 for select customers,
$19.95 for select customers, avalable for a limited time only.
I can’t beat that price!
I can’t beat that price!
I'd use a sliding scale..
The real good ones, i’d do for free. I’d charge more as they got uglier, all the way up to a dollar if she’s really nasty.
what would it take for me to prostitute myself?
I’d say about $250,000…give or take a ten thousand. I’ve got student loans to pay off!
The Extra Man
It totally depends on the situation.
It wouldn’t be less that $100,000.
