The Millionaire1955
Michael Anthony:
[Anthony enters the study to see Tipton, seated in a high backed chair at his desk, with only his right arm visible to viewers. On the desk before Tipton is a sort of scale holding two bundles of papers] You sent for me, sir?
John Beresford Tipton:
Mike, [pointing to one of the stacks] do you recognize that? [Anthony picks up the bundle to which Tipton had pointed and examines it]
Michael Anthony:
Oh, I certainly do, sir. It's a Shakespeare folio.
John Beresford Tipton:
It weighs exactly the same as [pointing to the other] 80 cents worth of blank paper. And that folio cost me $300,000. Now tell me - why is one sheaf of paper worth more than the other? [Anthony furrows his brow] I'll tell you, Mike: words. The world's full of people putting words on paper. But very few of them do as well as William Shakespeare. [Tipton hands an envelope to Anthony] Our next millionaire, Mike. [Anthony accepts the envelope, bows, and turn to depart]
