Quotes 

• Michael Anthony : [Anthony buzzes the doorbell of the Denson household and Mildred responds]  Is this the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Denson?

  Michael Anthony : A personal matter. May I come in?

  Mildred Kester : Yes.

  Michael Anthony : [Anthony enters while opening his briefcase and withdrawing a check, which he displays to Mildred]  This cashier's check will explain.

  [Anthony gives Mildred a check]
