I think he says "fives," just because it makes sense to say that more so than "fries." By saying "fives" Tucker's character stays quite a bit more on topic than if he said "fries", and since "fives" sounds so much like "fries," it kind of turns into a play on words. People are obviously going to recognize that "fives" sounds like "fries," so the punch is still there for people to laugh at. If the subtitles say it's "fries" though, I very well could be wrong.

People are dying from starvation around the world, atrocities are being commited daily.
And you guys are arguing on whether someone said fries or fives on a movie made 7 years ago..god this is a pathetic society. -

Jesus mo fo shatwitch people (yet again), haven't any of you considered that the line is INTENTIONALLY crossed to make the joke WORK? It's meant to be funny dammit! The pun is 'fries', the logic is 'fives' - OBVIOUSLY this is why the subtitles are so confused.
Maybe we should argue this about every friggin joke in the film, then none of it will be funny anymore - hoo-friggin-ray. I don't know about you, but i just can't friggin wait till the next time i see that part; instead of thinking, 'oh thats reasonably amusing', i'll be thinking of this sorry-ass argument. Cheers. -

I think its Fives accuatly, as part of the joke, that fives sounds like fries. So since they are talking about money and the guy is listing out different amounts, he says fives. Just a thought
