Here's a bag of gold coins to 'tide you over.' This is an expression that means to help with something until the bad situation passes. For example, if you're hungry, you can have a snack to tide you over until you have dinner. Or if you are poor, like in the movie, someone may give you money to tide you over until you get paid next week. I hope this makes sense! This is a tricky one to describe;)
