Paul Frees: John Beresford Tipton

Quotes 

• Michael Anthony : [Anthony enters the estate's tack room to discover Tipton seated in a high-backed chair at his desk amidst numerous equine-related items such as figures, statues, photos, bridles and other objects. Only Tipton's left arm is visible to viewers]  You sent for me, sir?

  John Beresford Tipton : Mike,

  [waving at the objects] 

  John Beresford Tipton : these statues represent some of Silverstone's greatest champions. They were all wonderful animals, but in all their grace and beauty, lived by instinct alone. Quite different from some humans who refuse to submit to any of their basic instincts.

  Michael Anthony : That can make for a dull life, sir.

  John Beresford Tipton : [laughs]  I wonder what it does to that dull life if such a person is given a million dollars.

  [Tipton hands an envelope to Anthony] 

  John Beresford Tipton : There's our next millionaire.

  [Anthony accepts the envelope]
