The Millionaire1955

Michael Anthony:
[Anthony enters the study to see Tipton, seated in a high backed chair at his desk, building a house of playing cards. Only Tipton's hands are visible to viewers] You sent for me, sir?

John Beresford Tipton:
Mike, did you ever build a card house?

Michael Anthony:
[Slightly smiling] I haven't for some time, sir.

John Beresford Tipton:
Men's lives are built like this. [Tipton's hands are seen placing cards atop a bottom base of cards] First, a foundation of habit and training, growing precariously upward [Tipton places some more cards on the house] by layers of ambition and determination. [Anthony grows a bit apprehensive as the house of cards grows higher. Tipton places the last card on top] There it is. [Tipton chuckles and Anthony smiles] Only sometimes, winds blowing from an unexpected direction can change the entire shape of it. [Tipton blows and the house of cards falls] Let's see [Tipton hands an envelope to Anthony] what this windfall will do.

Michael Anthony:
Yes, sir.

John Beresford Tipton:
Watch her closely. [Anthony places the envelope into his breast pocket and turns to depart]
