The Millionaire1955

Michael Anthony:
[Anthony enters the Tipton study. Tipton is seated in a high backed chair perusing a women's magazine]

[In a quizzical tone]

Michael Anthony:
You sent for me, sir?

John Beresford Tipton:
Mike, you seem a little puzzled at my choice of reading material this evening.

[Tipton chuckles]

John Beresford Tipton:
Women's fashion.

Michael Anthony:
I understand it's a very big business, sir.

John Beresford Tipton:
Bigger and more savage than you realize, with dog-eat-dog and jungle infighting. Those stocks and bonds are cozier than a corner drugstore.

[Tipton reads from the magazine]

John Beresford Tipton:
"Maddelana - High Style's Head Priestess." Very silken-looking, isn't she, Mike?

Michael Anthony:
[Anthony smiles]

John Beresford Tipton:
I wouldn't want to tangle in business with her.

[Tipton hands over envelope to Anthony]

John Beresford Tipton:
I want you to deliver a million dollars.

Michael Anthony:
To Maddelana?

John Beresford Tipton:
No, Mike - to her ghost.

Michael Anthony:
[Anthony bows and departs]
