The Millionaire1955

Michael Anthony:
[Anthony descends the stairs into a work room in the estate basement, where he discovers Tipton , seated in a high back wooden chair adjacent to a work table with various objects upon it. Only Tipton's right arm is visible to viewers] You sent for me, sir?

John Beresford Tipton:
Mike, [holding up an old fashioned lantern] who am I?

Michael Anthony:
[Skeptical] Why, you're Mr. John Beresford Tipton.

John Beresford Tipton:
No, no, I mean what character do I represent standing like this?

Michael Anthony:
Well, holding the lantern like that, you must be Diogenes, looking for an honest man.

John Beresford Tipton:
Quite a cynic, wasn't he?

Michael Anthony:
Yes, sir. He went to all of that trouble just to show his contempt for his fellow man. But cynics have a habit of underestimating the human race.

John Beresford Tipton:
[Lowering the lantern back to the work bench] That's right. The modern counterpart of Diogenes would probably say that everyone has an angle. [Tipton hands an envelope to Anthony] Our next millionaire. [Anthony accepts the envelope, bows, and starts to depart]
