Trivia: What does Ronald pay Cindy to do in “Can’t Buy Me Love”?
Tutor him
Be his girlfriend
Babysit his little sister
Date his best friend
The correct answer is Be his girlfriend
So why is this answer correct? : In 1983’s “Can’t Buy Me Love,” Ronald Miller (Patrick Dempsey) is a little bit nerdy. To up his cool factor, he pays popular head cheerleader Cindy Mancini (Amanda Peterson) $1,000 to be his girlfriend for the first month of school. Cindy agrees because she needs the cash to replace an expensive outfit of her mother’s that she ruined. Even though Cindy has a boyfriend, he’s off at college and she thinks she can handle the deal without any snags. Of course, things don’t go as planned and at the end of the movie, Cindy and Ronald share their first kiss and ride off … on his lawnmower.
