Lady Newhouse:
China, now that really scares me. Nine hundred million people breeding like rabbits.
Dr. Lauren Slaughter:
You're wrong, Lady Newhouse.
Lady Newhouse:
What do you mean, I'm wrong?
Dr. Lauren Slaughter:
There are over a billion now. That's official.
Hugo Van Arkady:
You're both wrong. They are only two people in China. And I know both of them.
Dr. Lauren Slaughter:
Two people in China? I love it. OK, if there are two people in China, how many are there in the world?
Hugo Van Arkady:
There are five thousand people in the world. That's it, five thousand.
Dr. Lauren Slaughter:
And I suppose, Mr. Van Arkady, that you've met them all.
[the other dinner guests laugh]

Julian Shuttle:
Five thousand? That's all that counts? What about the starving millions?
Dinner guest:
A million isn't a number in any real sense.
Hugo Van Arkady:
There's murder in nature. Millions are dying right now. Starved, bombed, in camps. Nobody gives a damn. You may deplore it, but it's a fact.
Dr. Lauren Slaughter:
Those five thousand, who are they? How many of them are British?
Hugo Van Arkady:
Forty five.
Dr. Lauren Slaughter:
German?
Hugo Van Arkady:
Sixty.
Dr. Lauren Slaughter:
African?
Hugo Van Arkady:
None. And more Arabs than you might think, but they're all here in London.
Dr. Lauren Slaughter:
I suppose the rest are American. And naturally, Mr. Van Arkady, you're one of the five thousand.
Hugo Van Arkady:
Bien entendu.
Dr. Lauren Slaughter:
Tell me, how many are women?
Hugo Van Arkady:
Interested, aren't we?
Dr. Lauren Slaughter:
Very.
