Quote #181064
I’ve seen the ticket, and I still can’t believe it. When I see the money, I hope I don’t hit the floor.
Judy Garland

Interpretation
The line reads as a spontaneous, humorous expression of disbelief at an unexpectedly large payment or windfall: seeing the “ticket” (a contract, check, or accounting statement) is not enough to make it feel real, and the speaker jokes that actually seeing the cash might make her faint. In Garland’s case, the sentiment aligns with the precariousness that often accompanied show-business earnings—money could be promised on paper yet feel unreal until it was in hand. The quote’s tone mixes astonishment with wary realism, suggesting both excitement and an awareness that financial security can be fragile or delayed.
