Hi, I have a question.

How do you understand these phrases? They are the names of a song or a movie ...
- Come what May
- Two for the money.

Thank you.

'Come what may' -- whatever may happen
'Two for the money'-- This from a rhymed game routine: 'One for the money, two for the show, three to get ready--- GO!' Permutations of this common childhood phrase occur in various contexts. I don't know this movie or song, but it is probably about two thieves or gamblers or adventurers (2 people + money).

Thanks.

But the 'May' is in uppercase, so it must be different from 'may/might'.
Is that right?
