The Lady from Shanghai1948

Arthur:
Are you independently wealthy?

Michael:
I'm independent.

Arthur:
Of money. Before you start that novel Elsa says you're going to write, you'd better learn something. You've been traveling around the world too much to find out anything about it....

Michael:
I've always found it very sanitary to be broke.

Arthur:
...Money cannot bring you health and happiness, etc. Is that it? Without money, I'd be flat on my back in the ward of a county hospital...Each man has his own idea of happiness, of course, but money is what all of us have in common...You call yourself independent. Come around and see me five years from now.
