Paul Frees: John Beresford Tipton

Quotes 

• Michael Anthony : [Anthony enters the study to observe Tipton, seated in a high backed chair at his desk, examining a box containing several different U.S. military medals. Only Tipton's left hand is visible to the viewers]  You sent for me, sir?

  John Beresford Tipton : You were in the Army, Mike - or was it the Navy?

  Michael Anthony : Navy, sir.

  [Indicating the box of medals] 

  Michael Anthony : But they didn't pin that many metals on me.

  John Beresford Tipton : [Chuckles]  These aren't mine. All they pinned on me was guard duty, KP and a few memories. I had a sergeant though...

  Michael Anthony : [Smiling and gently interrupting]  I know what you mean, sir. Everyone in the Army seems to remember one sergeant.

  John Beresford Tipton : I suppose there are still a few of them left.

  [Tipton hands an envelope to Anthony] 

  John Beresford Tipton : Our next millionaire.

  [Anthony accepts the envelope and bows]
