Just how obscene an amount of cash are we talking about here? Profane or really offensive?
— Pretty Woman · 1990

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker takes “obscene” as a description of money and jokingly asks which degree of offensiveness applies. The amount is measured through stronger and weaker words of disapproval rather than figures. That mock precision turns curiosity about a large sum into a playful exchange about language.
