Coleen Gray: Jean Smith Fortune

Quotes 

• Jean Smith : [Luke and Jean have just been married, she in her wedding gown and he in his best suit. They enter a private room while the reception goes on in the adjacent room]  Luke, go and tell them the wedding reception is off because the marriage is off.

  Luke Fortune : Oh, now, Jeannie, just a minute.

  Jean Smith : I'm not blaming you. She's a princess from the fairy books. The only mean thing you did was come back to me. You never should have tricked me into marrying you, Luke, saying we had to be legally married before you could tell me.

  Luke Fortune : But, Jeannie, the next day I got a million dollars!

  Jean Smith : [Mouth agape]  A million dollars? A million dollars! Someone gave you a million dollars. Who?

  Luke Fortune : I don't know. Whoever it is doesn't want their name known.

  Jean Smith : Who? Why?

  Luke Fortune : I don't know! I swear to you, Jeannie, it's a mystery to me to this day. I had to sign this paper promising not to tell anyone where the money came from except to my wife if I got married. And that's why I couldn't tell you before.

  Jean Smith : [Suspiciously]  Did she have anything to do with this?

  Luke Fortune : Bebe?

  [laughs] 

  Luke Fortune : No! It was the morning after the rodeo and this man came into my hotel room. His name was Anthony - Michael Anthony.

  [Scene shifts to Luke's hotel room in New York after the rodeo. Luke's voiceover starts] 

  Luke Fortune : [Anthony shows check to Luke, whose VO continues]  .

  [Anthony has Luke sign a document accepting the stipulations. Anthony gives the check to Luke, shakes hands with him, and quickly depart. Scene reverts back to the present day] 

  Luke Fortune : It looked genuine all right. It had my name on it and one million dollars with words and figures both. I still couldn't believe it but I signed the paper like I told you. He handed over that check like you'd give a man a plug of chewing tobacco.
