"There was some conflict there over Saturday nights because we were all really broke in those days- all the money you had in the world was in your pockets. Nowadays when you're say you're broke, it's not the same thing"

This quote by Arto Lindsay speaks to the difference between being "broke" in the past and being "broke" in the present. In the past, when somebody said they were broke, it suggested that they actually had no money in their pockets. This developed conflict due to the fact that everybody remained in the same circumstance and had to determine how to make ends meet. In the present, being "broke" is a relative term and can mean anything from having no money in your pocket to not having adequate cash to purchase something you desire. This quote highlights the distinction in between the 2 and how the meaning of "broke" has changed gradually.
