Friar Tuck

And here’s thirty pieces of silver to pay the Devil on your way to Hell!

— Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves ‧ 1991

What it means

The speaker offers silver as payment for a journey to Hell, turning money into part of a curse. Naming the Devil as the recipient gives the insult a vivid imagined destination. The flourish makes the coins sound less like a gift than a final expression of contempt.
