The Millionaire1955

Michael Anthony:
[the scene is in the conference room of Attorney Taylor with a large conference table with Taylor and Tipton present. Tipton is seated in a high backed chair with only his right arm visible to viewers. He is just putting out a cigar. Anthony enters the room] I'm sorry I'm a bit late, sir.

John Beresford Tipton:
We still have a little time left for what we have to do.

Vincent Taylor:
I must admit I was staggered by the amount of money Waring had left. I had no idea.

Eleanor Waring:
[the door opens and Eleanor Waring enters] I'm Eleanor Waring.

Vincent Taylor:
So he was right.

Eleanor Waring:
[to Taylor] I went to see the Warden but he said I should see you. I didn't know. I didn't know about Hugh's execution. Now he's dead and it's all my fault. I wanted to hurt him. That's why I went away.

Vincent Taylor:
Where have you been?

Eleanor Waring:
I think I've been in a world all of my own. There were nightmares there, too. But this was the worst. I left him in anger, but I was planning to come back. I wanted him to worry, not wonder where I was.

Vincent Taylor:
But where have you been all this time?

Eleanor Waring:
On a mountaintop in Colorado, overlooking a ghost town. No People alive for miles, no radio, no papers. [Hugh Waring, the Warden, and the Prosecutor discreetly enter the room, but Eleanor, whose back is to the door, is unaware of their presence] The day I went to Silver, I saw the headlines. Terrible headlines. [Anthony now notices Hugh Waring] He was dead. I killed him.

Vincent Taylor:
According to the terms of the will, you are to inherit a great deal of money.

Eleanor Waring:
How can you talk about money? What good does it mean to me?

Hugh Waring:
[Interrupting] You were always greedy for money.

Eleanor Waring:
[Startled and shocked as she now notices Hugh] You!

Hugh Waring:
It was a nice try, Eleanor, but it didn't work.

Eleanor Waring:
The papers! It was in the papers! [Turns vengeful] You tricked me! You cheated me! How could you do this to me? You made me the laughingstock of the world. I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! [the Warden and Prosecutor begin to escort Eleanor out of the room] You can't prove anything! Let go of me! I haven't done anything! [the Warden and Prosecutor wrestle Eleanor out of the room]

Hugh Waring:
[Closing the door] It's the end of a nightmare. [to Tipton] Well, it's good to be alive, but I wouldn't be here if it hadn't been for you. If you hadn't gambled on my story being true.

John Beresford Tipton:
I didn't gamble. We have a very courageous Governor who gambled on your innocence. He gave you a stay of execution, jeopardizing his entire political career by keeping it a secret.

Michael Anthony:
Even I didn't know.

John Beresford Tipton:
[to Anthony] Ah, but it was really you who did it. Your faith, your concern, your zeal.

Michael Anthony:
It was?

John Beresford Tipton:
[Chuckling] Of course.
