I have been trying to remember a certain line from Joanne’s monologue in the club scene. I’m paraphrasing, but she essentially says that “the world is made for the young and for the rich, and if you aren’t one you damn well better have plenty of the other.” I’ve looked at the original scripts and cannot find it; they seem to have added the line to this version.
Does anyone have the exact line? I would be very appreciative of any information or even better, the correct quote itself. Thanks!

If/when they do another cast recording I really hope they record all the dialogue in this scene!

The OP is correct in saying that this specific line isn’t in the original book. I, too, returned to the published book + libretto after the London production to find that it wasn’t there.
I recall reading in an interview with Sondheim that every book revision for the 2018 revival was painstakingly done by only using words from George Furth’s plays. I’ve wondered from where this specific line was borrowed.
There’s a chance the line is from the original Furth vignettes on which Company is based —therefore being unpublished materials from his estate. If that’s the case, then what a lovey, full-circle moment.
