Uncle Ben.

In the dialogue below, will you tell me the meaning of the expression "Uncle Ben"?

"How did you get in?"
"My Uncle Ben took care of it".
"Oh! you gave my bouncer US$100.00? He's fired."

Thank you in advance for your attention.

"My Uncle Ben took care of it".
"Oh! you gave my bouncer US$100.00? He's fired."
(Sorry, I don't know any expression or slang that would fit here. Could he mean it literally? The bouncer was really his uncle?)

[Rusty]

Maybe I am just catching on. The guy is pretending that the bouncer is his uncle, which means that the bouncer accepted a bribe.

Thank you, Rusty. This has to be the case. The guy is hinting he really bribed his uncle Ben. At first I thought it was an expression. Thanks again.

(And the bouncer is not really his uncle at all. The bouncer might say that he is after he receives the bribe. It is likely that an uncle would let his nephew enter the nightclub/bar/establishment).

A US $100 bill features a portrait of Benjamin Franklin. The speaker used the term "Uncle Ben" to refer to such a bill. I imagine that this would only be used in a reference to bribery, or possibly some other type of gift.

Thanks, Pete.
Now I can definitely understand the whole meaning of the expression.
