Arthur Page #3

- Why?

- Susan is a very impressive woman.

Lovely, yes.

She's certainly in control of that beast.

Capable woman, and quite willing to help

poor people if there's a camera nearby.

Actually, if you want videos of Susan,

you should come to my apartment.

- I've got one that'll knock your socks off.

- Bach Worldwide has been run...

...by a Bach for generations.

With Susan as one of us...

...investors will be comforted to know the

line of succession doesn't end in a bottle.

When did you become so cynical?

Marriage isn't a tool

to protect a corporate image.

It's to validate unwanted pregnancy.

If that's how you feel, Arthur,

you give me no choice.

As of this moment, you are cut off.

What do you mean "cut off"?

Cut off from you and the?

You don't mean cut off from the?

The money, Arthur.

No. I'm not gonna allow you

to manipulate me, Vivienne.

I shall get married when I fall in love.

I respect your integrity.

You've just lost $950 million.

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.

And she'll make a wonderful wife.

Yeah. I mean,

who wouldn't wanna marry a sexy clown?

Congratulations, Vivienne. You win.

I don't respect you, Arthur...

...but I do applaud your talent

for self-preservation.

Congratulations. You're gonna be

a wealthy man for the rest of your life.

That's all I've ever wanted to be.

The ring your father

gave your mother, I believe.

It's like an ice rink for a mouse.

I don't like Susan.

Well, I don't like you very much and we've

been happily stuck together for 30 years.

I know it's not perfect,

but Susan is smart and capable...

...and you need a woman like that

to look after you.

I think I already have one of those.

In fact, do you want it?

Hobson, will you carry on

being my nanny?

This is just my mother

trying to control me.

Hey, Hobson, do you have the checkbook?

I wanna squander some wealth.

Ten thousand dollars

for this item from the czar's collection.

Are we all done at 10,000? Ten thousand

dollars going once, going twice.

Twenty thousand dollars of money!

Twenty thousand dollars is the bid.

Thank you, sir. Do I hear 30?

Do I hear 30,000?

Thirty thousand dollars, please.

Thirty thousand.

Thirty-five thousand.

How dare you.

It's a challenge you want, is it?

Yeah, I want a challenge, plus I bid first.

That is irrelevant.

The highest number has supremacy.

You've clearly never been to an auction.

That's tit for tat.

That's exactly how the situation

in the Middle East began.

You leave me no choice.

One hundred thousand dollars
