Because he's your greatest fan? He gets paid, dear."), and when confronted about it, Tom (in his own wounded pride and hurt feelings) rubbed it in her face that [[BlatantLies he had rescued her for money, not because he cared]].

* HeroOfAnotherStory: During the course of the movie, Tom had to ditch his newly-obtained CoolCar in the Battery so the Bombers couldn't follow them.
