‘I thought you didn’t have to work,’ she replied.
‘Family money, and all that.’
‘I kinda exaggerated that bit sweetness,’ he said. ‘It is family money – in a manner of speaking. Just not my
family, if you get my drift.’
She felt a cold hand on her heart. ‘So what kind of
work?’ she asked.
‘Honey, I rob banks.’
‘Christ,’ she said. ‘For a minute there I thought you
wanted me on the game.’
‘The game?’ he said, then fell in. ‘What whore you out
you mean?’ He laughed long and loud. ‘Baby girl,’ he
said, ‘I’m a one-woman man, and I expect my girl to be
a one-man woman. Though the way guys look at you,
I’m sure we could make a dollar or two.’

: Buenas opciones. Coincido con Coral en que prostituir es de registro demasiado alto para este contexto.

¿quién te quiso como prostituta?
Es una sugerencia.

putear / alcahuetear
Estaba buscando alguna palabra corta, pero no la encuentro... "prostituir" me parece de registro alto.
alcahuete, ta
1.m. y f. Persona que procura, encubre o facilita amores ilícitos:
Celestina era la alcahueta de Calisto.

ser tu alcahuete?
Es una de las tantas opciones... la palabra alcahuete se dice de distintas maneras según la región. Pero el sentido de la frase es ese.

¿Qué hizo que no te prostituyera?
Interpreto que, aunque él sabe que de prostituirla se ganaría un dinero (a juzgar por cómo la miran sus amigos), él cree en la exclusividad de la pareja.

"Though there are examples of pimp out from the 18th century, the expression was very rare before the 1980s, and its meaning has almost always been literal. There is no real figurative use for pimp out, which may help explain why Shuster's phrasing sounds so objectionable. The problem was not his word choice (though whore out would probably have been worse), but the idea his words expressed: that Hillary was prostituting her child."

que hicieras la calle
Creo que hay que darle un par de vueltas. Es dificil encontrar el mismo tono que "whore you out" en español - lo más parecido es "prostituirte", pero puede que el registro sea un pelín alto, por otra parte "chulear" no significa necesariamente "prostituir" y "alcahuetear" me suena un poco cervantino ... así que.. algo así como:
¿Qué? ¿que hicieras la calle?
¿Qué? ¿que hicieras la calle?

: Por favor fijate que puse "hacer la calle" a los 5 minutos... sé que puse opciones con diferentes registros, sobre todo porque al ser términos callejeros los registros más populares variarán de un país a otro. Un saludo cordial :-)//:-)

Sí, es cierto, pero la diferencia es que tú mantienes a él como motor de la acción de ella (mandarte hacer la calle), mientras yo pongo directamente "que (tú) hicieras la calle", quitando la acción de él, para una frase más suelta, más natural, imho

poner a trabajar de puta
Por si necesitas un registro menos elevado que prostituir y más universal que chulear. Sería algo así: "...y entonces cayó- ¿Quieres decir que te pondría a trabajar de puta?...
