• Vivienne : As of this moment, you are cut off.

  Arthur : What do you mean "cut off"? Cut off from you and the-? You don't mean cut off from the...

  Vivienne : The money, Arthur.

  Arthur : No... I'm not gonna allow you to manipulate me, Vivienne. I shall get married when I fall in love.

  Vivienne : I respect your integrity. You've just lost $950 million.

  Arthur : [sporadically changing his tune]  Actually, Susan is a very special girl, isn't she? With that mouth, that velvety, beautiful mouth... like a clown's mouth. But not in a bad way. Like a sexy clown.

  Vivienne : And she'll make a wonderful wife.

  Arthur : Yeah. I mean, who wouldn't wanna marry a sexy clown?

• Vivienne : Well, today, Arthur, we're gonna have a friendly chat, then a serious talk, and finally, I'm going to offer you an ultimatum. How does all that sound?

  Arthur : Like it would be improved by vodka.

• Vivienne : [upon learning her son got arrested on the way to her fundraiser]  He's like a ship without an anchor.

  Susan : Maybe it's time we tied him to another ship.

• Vivienne : [after viewing snapshots of Arthur's last hangover]  How can you squander your considerable intelligence on idiocy like this?

  Arthur : It's quite easy. I don't consider it to be idiocy rather a savantish gift for defying death with fun.

  Vivienne : That's your justification? That's why you crashed a Batmobile?

  Arthur : Yes, it is. Are we done?
