Quotes
-
Andrew V. McMahon : [Sitting at his desk at the bank] I take it you fully understand the terms on the receipt you signed, Mr. Iris?
Joe Iris : Well, you see, I was in a hurry.
Andrew V. McMahon : You agreed to reveal the source of this money only to Mrs. Iris. No one else. Your signature made this a legal document.
Joe Iris : Brother! It sure gives you a funny feeling.
Andrew V. McMahon : Tell anybody where you got this money and you cease to be a millionaire. Cash, all tangible assets, anything you have purchased, everything goes back to the donor.
Joe Iris : Don't worry about me. I'm a clam.
Andrew V. McMahon : Very well. I assume you need to cash this check and open an account?
Joe Iris : Account?
Andrew V. McMahon : If you will sign this card, please.
Joe Iris : And who has the money?
Andrew V. McMahon : Why, you, of course.
Joe Iris : Where?
Andrew V. McMahon : In our vault.
Joe Iris : Where I can see it?
Andrew V. McMahon : Mr. Iris, money in large amounts is seldom a visible thing.
Joe Iris : Look, when I had a dime, it was where I could see it or feel it. That goes for the million dollars.
Andrew V. McMahon : Mr. Iris, you have any concept of what a bundle this would make? Of how many safety deposit boxes you'd have to rent?
Joe Iris : Are you telling me I can't afford it?
