[Anthony enters the Tipton natural history museum. He is momentarily startled by a large, upright stuffed bear just inside the entrance door. Tipton is seated in a high backed chair, with only his left arm visible to the viewers as he strokes a live pigeon on his desk] You sent for me, sir?

John Beresford Tipton:
Mike, science, which has revealed to us so many secrets of nature, has failed in two things. Know what they are?

Michael Anthony:
No, sir.

John Beresford Tipton:
[Tipton continues petting the pigeon, which coos] This pigeon was released hundreds of miles from here and found it's way home. How?

Michael Anthony:
We don't know, do we, sir?

John Beresford Tipton:
[Tipton places the pigeon into a basket on his desk and closes the lid. He picks up a tag from his desk and hands it to Anthony] And this tag is from a salmon. It conquered winds and tides to return to its spawning grounds, only to die. [Anthony returns the tag to Tipton's desk] There are people who are driven by the same instincts. [Tipton hands over an envelope to Anthony] Here is the name of our next millionaire. Let's see what his instincts are. [Anthony bows and starts to depart. Before leaving, he takes another up-and-down look at the bear, as if expecting it to come alive]
