Quotes
-
Maureen Reynolds : [Answering a knock on her door] Oh, I thought you were the mailman.
Michael Anthony : Are you Maureen Reynolds?
Maureen Reynolds : Yes.
Michael Anthony : I have something for you that is too valuable to be put into the mail. My name is Michael Anthony. May I come in?
Maureen Reynolds : Yes.
[Anthony enters. Maureen sees Anthony's briefcase]
Maureen Reynolds : Oh, do you have a message from my husband? Scott's coming home?
Michael Anthony : No, Mrs. Reynolds, I don't know your husband.
[Opens briefcase and takes out a check]
Michael Anthony : This is a gift from an anonymous donor.
[Gives check to Maureen]
Maureen Reynolds : A check?
Michael Anthony : A cashier's check for $1,000,000, tax-free.
Maureen Reynolds : [Looks closely at check] A cashier's check?
Michael Anthony : It's yours to do with exactly as you wish,
[Retrieving a document from his briefcase]
Michael Anthony : if you will just sign this paper...
Maureen Reynolds : [Interrupts] No one gives away a million dollars.
Michael Anthony : I do. I should say my employer, who insists on remaining anonymous, does.
Maureen Reynolds : [Reading check] Mrs. Maureen Morrison Reynolds.
[Smiling]
Maureen Reynolds : That's me. But why me?
Michael Anthony : I don't know, Mrs. Reynolds, but even if I did, I probably couldn't tell you. Now, if you will just sign this paper agreeing to this one condition...
Maureen Reynolds : One million dollars!
Michael Anthony : [Continuing on after interruption] not to reveal to anyone, except your husband the exact amount of the gift...
Maureen Reynolds : And the taxes have been paid?
Michael Anthony : Yes, or the circumstances under which you received it. Now, if you will just sign right here.
Maureen Reynolds : You mean, all I have to do to receive a million dollars is to tell no one but my husband?
Michael Anthony : If you do tell, the money will be reclaimed.
Maureen Reynolds : Gee, Isn't that wonderful! Wait till I tell Scott. He loves to travel. He's in South America, you know. Now, I can go with him.
Michael Anthony : Well, I hope you will be very happy. Now, sign right here.
Maureen Reynolds : Oh, yes.
[Signs, and Anthony returns the agreement to his briefcase]
Maureen Reynolds : I think I'm going to cable him. No, I think I'll phone him. No, I think I'll meet him down there!
Michael Anthony : Thank you, Mrs. Reynolds. And I hope if you do make the trip, you'll have a wonderful voyage.
