Paul Frees: John Beresford Tipton

Quotes 

• Michael Anthony : [Anthony enters the Silverstone gardens, where he finds Tipton watering a bouquet of flowers being held by the large statue of Lady Justice. Tipton is obstructed from the viewers by a column, and only his left arm is visible when he waters the flowers]  You sent for me, sir?

  John Beresford Tipton : Mike, do you know why Justice is always pictured as a woman - blindfolded, holding up scales?

  Michael Anthony : Well, sir, it's my impression that she's supposed to weigh out justice equally, without being influenced by anything she sees.

  John Beresford Tipton : That's about it. But it's not an easy task, and serving justice is a long, hard road to follow. Many men have fallen by the wayside.

  [Tipton hands over an envelope to Anthony] 

  John Beresford Tipton : Let's see if this one does - our next millionaire. Give me an exact report on him, Mike.

  [Anthony bows and departs]
