Quotes
-
Andrew V.. McMahon : [In the office of bank president McMahon] I'm glad you could make it, Mr. Fowler.
Ken Fowler : I wish I knew what this is all about.
Andrew V.. McMahon : You'll find out.
Ken Fowler : Is this about the loan I applied for? I'm trying to add a room to our house.
Andrew V.. McMahon : Our local bank could have handled that. Besides, my hunch is that you won't want to add a room, Mr. Fowler.
Ken Fowler : [Suspiciously] What do you mean by that? What are you driving at, Mr. McMahon?
Andrew V.. McMahon : You've lived in that house how long? Five years?
Ken Fowler : [Getting perturbed] Look, Mr. McMahon, I don't know what you have in mind. But why don't you spill it instead of playing games?
Andrew V.. McMahon : I'm sorry, I wasn't playing games. I was just trying to prepare you a little, Mr. Fowler.
Ken Fowler : Prepare me? For what?
Andrew V.. McMahon : [Reaching into his desk drawer and withdrawing a check] For this.
Ken Fowler : [Looks at check, scoffs] A check for a million dollars made out to me. What does it mean?
Andrew V.. McMahon : That it's yours. It's as simple as that.
Ken Fowler : What do you mean, it's mine? Who would... Why is it mine?
Andrew V.. McMahon : Because it was given to you, tax-free. No strings, no conditions, except no one but your wife must know.
Ken Fowler : That's a condition.
Andrew V.. McMahon : The only one. This is agreeable?
Ken Fowler : Can't you tell me anything more than this?
Andrew V.. McMahon : If I could, Mr. Fowler, I would.
Ken Fowler : What do you do with a million dollars?
Andrew V.. McMahon : You might begin by depositing the check into an account until you make up your mind..
Ken Fowler : Yes, yes, I guess I better.
Andrew V.. McMahon : I'll make out a deposit slip. You can draw on it right away.
Ken Fowler : A million dollars, right out of the blue. You can do anything with a million dollars.
