Sounds like a plot line from “The Americans”.
I get a chuckle when I remember Les Nessman’s pickup line from WKRP:
Waiter : [placing down the next round of drinks sent by strangers to Jennifer, who has been receiving such all night, the waiter stating from who they were sent] Little Guy with Bowtie, Tall Black Man, Cowboy and Longshoreman.
Jennifer Marlowe : [seeing that the waiter was referring to Les, Venus, Andy and Johnny, who approach her table] Hi guys!
Andy Travis : Oh, what’s your sign?
Venus Flytrap : You live around here, mama?
Dr. Johnny Fever : Want a little action, sugar?
Jennifer Marlowe : Well Les, don’t you have an opening line?
Les Nessman : [looking uneasy, then sits down and picks up a drink] Hi, I’m extremely wealthy.
Jennifer Marlowe : [as Jennifer and Les clink glasses together] Ooh.
Joke by Mike Birbiglia:

…and who doesn’t know how to write checks.
