Wow... I will wave consecutive translation on this one...I have no clue what you are attempting to communicate, my friend. That word "takings," can you provide a meaning for us dumb hicks down in the lower "57," or, without the imbecile in the White House's statement, the lower "50?" I missed the imbecile's statement, but "lower" seems to fit in your case lol. Takings are the night's earnings as from the box office at a theatre, or what Cousin Vito on the door hands you when the dungeon closes at dawn, at least he tells you those were the takings.
