Paul Frees: John Beresford Tipton

Quotes 

• Michael Anthony : [Anthony enters the study to find Tipton, seated in a high backed chair at his desk, reading a newspaper, the banner headline of which reads 'Fight Against Inflation.' Only Tipton's right hand is visible to the viewers]  You sent for me, sir?

  John Beresford Tipton : Mike, do you remember when a loaf of bread costs five cents?

  Michael Anthony : I'm afraid I do, sir. Now it's five times as much. Oh, the cost of living.

  John Beresford Tipton : The cost of living. It's interesting, isn't it, that we talk so much about the cost of living and so little about the value of life.

  Michael Anthony : I suppose most of us take it for granted.

  John Beresford Tipton : There are some men who can't do that. Every day, they realize the great value of life and fight for it.

  [Tipton hands an envelope to Anthony] 

  John Beresford Tipton : Our next millionaire.

  [Anthony accepts the envelope, smiles, and bows]
