The young novitiate stepped off the train at the station in the town, heading towards a monastery to start his life as a monk.  As he headed out of the station a woman caught his eye with a "Psst, quickie - $5".  The man did not understand the statement and continued on until he passed the first alley, where another woman signaled at him and also said:  "Psst, quickie - $5."  This continued several more times as the monk made his way though the town.  Finally he made it to the monastery.  He entered and was met by the head nun who bade him welcome and asked him if he had any questions.

"I do have one question mother, what's a quickie?"

"$5". replied the mother, "Just like in town."
