Quotes

Michael Anthony : [Anthony has been told that Tipton wishes to see him. Anthony locates his employer at a brook that runs through part of the Silverstone estate. Tipton is fishing off-camera with only his hands visible to the viewers. He is wearing fishing gear and wadding boots] You, uh, sent for me, sir?
John Beresford Tipton : [Displaying a wriggling fish that he has just pulled from a net] Look at this fellow, Mike. Only 14 ounces, but all of it is of pure, undiluted courage.
Michael Anthony : [Smiling] Yes, sir.
John Beresford Tipton : [Tipton tosses the fish back into the stream] Heroes are of many breeds, Mike. The anatomy of courage is something that has always defied dissection.
[Tipton removes an envelope from his coat pocket]
John Beresford Tipton : Still, it's possible that this envelope contains a sharp and powerful scalpel that will uncover many hidden things.
[Tipton hands the envelope to Anthony]
John Beresford Tipton : Here's the name of our new millionaire.
[Anthony accepts the envelope]
