For years Romy and Michele have been dreaming to go to L.A. and become rich and fabulous, but because they had no money, they decided to wait and save their money. 3 years have passed by and they've only managed to save $68, having $60 to begin with in high school. One night, after seeing Pretty Woman, they are inspired and decide to go to L.A., just like Vivian. Despite their lack of money.
