The Millionaire1955

Michael Anthony:
[Anthony enters the Tipton estate garden to find Tipton seated in a high backed rattan wicker chair, holding a sea shell] You sent for me, sir?

John Beresford Tipton:
Know what this is, Mike? [Tipton offers the shell to Anthony]

Michael Anthony:
It's a sea shell, of course. [Anthony inspects the shell closer] Chambered nautilus, isn't it, sir?

John Beresford Tipton:
Well, it was. Now it's only the empty shell - the house in which the nautilus once lived. Here's how the house of nautilus looks inside. [Tipton offers the house to Anthony]

Michael Anthony:
[Anthony examines the house] A long corridor of separate chambers.

John Beresford Tipton:
No one quite knows why, as the nautilus grows, it moves forward into a new chamber and seals off the past room in which it lived - locks the door and moves into the future. Some people live like that, Mike: keep their past in an airtight compartment, locked away. [Tipton hands over envelope to Anthony] Our next millionaire. [Anthony bows and departs]
