The Millionaire1955
Michael Anthony:
[Anthony enters the Silverstone estate hothouse to discover Tipton pruning, clipping and trimming some flowers in a flowerbox. Tipton is off-camera with only his gloved hands visible to the viewers] You sent for me, sir?
John Beresford Tipton:
What do you know about camellias, Mike?
Michael Anthony:
Not much, sir.
John Beresford Tipton:
[Holding up a single plant] Take this pretty young thing. Most people would want to leave it alone, to let it grow.
Michael Anthony:
Isn't that the general idea, sir?
John Beresford Tipton:
If you want something big, strong, and beautiful, you have to give it room to grow. [Tipton removes the pot in which the camellia was growing, freeing the roots and placing the plant into soil in a larger environment] Then one day soon, I'll show you a strong, healthy, and possibly perfect camellia. Sometimes, people have to do the same thing in their lives.
Michael Anthony:
I see what you're driving at, sir.
John Beresford Tipton:
So, [Tipton hands an envelope to Anthony] here is the name of my new millionaire, Mike. Let's see if he has the courage to grow.
