An American Dream (1966)

Murray Hamilton: Arthur Kabot

Quotes 

• Stephen Rojack : Bulletin: My wife's back from Malta. One of the first to know. She made it a point to call me personally and tell me that in Malta she shared her bed with a bald-headed middle-aged gentleman with a beard.

  Arthur Kabot : Yeah, she always was great on the details, wasn't she?

  Stephen Rojack : What do you do, hmm? Whaddya' do? What the hell do ya' do?... Never marry a rich woman, Artie. There's no way to prove to the rich that you're not after their money. And how they punish you for not loving them for themselves.

  Stephen Rojack : [with a sigh of resignation]  Well, when your wife sends for you, you go.

  Arthur Kabot : Hey, don't go see her, Steve. Hey, let me call her and tell her you broke your leg. Send her a telegram, drop her a postcard offering appropriate reasons for absence, but don't go see her.

  Stephen Rojack : No can do, Artie. It's not polite to fire your wife by mail.
