Your bf is right, check better.
Miles CLEARLY puts some grants in. Also some Euros, and I'd swear I saw some Yen, too.

Best response ever to one of the f v c king stupidest things I have ever heard.
It wasn't me who was murdered, was it?

Later, his mom asks "Are you OK? Do you need money." And he replies "No, I'm all set."

I replied to another thread on this. Bad Karma stealing, and especially from his mother. Payback came later with his final publisher rejection, and he got the word in a bad, tourist trap, low end winery.

Blatantly obvious he's stealing the money. You need a smarter boyfriend.

I am watching this right now for the first time in ages, but several times overall. Not once did it ever seem to be doubtful if he was taking or giving. Looked to me like he took.
I wish I had read this thread earlier and I would have paid closer attention.
That said, this was based upon a book. Is such a scene in the book? If so, the answer is clearly there.

In the commentary Giamatti says he's stealing it but that his mom knows he takes money out.

The book makes it clear that Miles was stealing the money (taking an "advance on his inheritance" I believe is how he justified it). In the movie, it also appears he is taking money. I doubt the screenwriter would have changed this element of the book, given that it reveals an important aspect of Miles' personality.
