The crux of Pas De Deux is that David needs people that are going to fall for the scam. That are going to happily take his counterfeit money without suspicion, he's as much a Con Man as a counterfeiter. And when Maude appears we decided a seductive dance number would be the best way to show how David manipulates people. He makes sure Maude see's the money and then he withholds until the end of their dance sequence.
We then realized that because Maude takes money from David, she's a prostitute. Which J+ K took a moment to think about and then said, "I'm ok with that."
