> ...the same way that there was money in that banana stand. I don't know how to be any clearer than this.
I have a feeling that this is a joke that’s either extremely clever or a reference I have not been exposed to. Can anyone help me out?

It's a running joke from Arrested Development - a comedy about a family running a property empire that was heavily involved on fraud and in the process of collapsing. The (jailed) patriarch of the family - George Bluth - made some seemingly off-hand references to a frozen banana stand the family still operated - saying "There's always money in the banana stand". These were misunderstood as meaning "The banana stand still makes some money" and dismissed, when they were meant to mean "I have hidden $250,000 in the walls of the banana stand"
The show’s main protagonist, Michael, burns down the banana stand as a symbol of no longer putting up with his father’s influence. His father then told him of the cash in the walls of the banana stand.
Highly recommend the show.
