Cheer myself up with Blackadder the 2nd. from 1986...
Kate's Father : I'm sad because, my darling, our poverty has reached such extremes that I can no longer afford to keep us and must look to my own dear tiny darling to sustain me in my frail dotage.
Kate : But father surely...
Kate's Father : Yes, Kate. I want you to become a prostitute.
