Quotes
-
Michael Anthony : [Anthony enters the Tipton estate trophy room to discover Tipton seated in a high backed chair, fumbling with a box] You sent for me, sir?
John Beresford Tipton : Mike, look at this. It came today from China.
[Tipton hands over the box to Anthony]
John Beresford Tipton : Isn't it beautiful?
Michael Anthony : Yes, very lovely. How does it open?
John Beresford Tipton : Oh, you just push that button in the middle there.
[Anthony pushes the button and a jack-in-the-box jumps out. Tipton chuckles]
John Beresford Tipton : Frightened, Mike?
Michael Anthony : Startled, sir, but not frightened.
John Beresford Tipton : Suppose, Mike, you were that jack-in-the-box. How would you feel, locked up and confined in that small, dark container? You might be frightened then.
[Tipton hands over an envelope to Anthony]
John Beresford Tipton : Our next millionaire, Mike. I'll want a full report.
Michael Anthony : Yes, sir.
[Anthony turns and departs]
