During Variety's Actors on Actors segment, Arquette recalls receiving the original script herself, revealing Pretty Woman was originally titled 3,000 and that "the ending was really heavy." Although Arquette did not specify which role she was considered for, the film would have been completely different if she had been cast. Roberts, too, remembers the 3,000 script, explaining the original ending as such: "threw her [Vivian] out of the car, threw the money on top of her, as memory serves, and just drove away, leaving her in some dirty alley."
