Michael Anthony:
[Anthony enters the study and discovers Tipton seated in a high backed chair at a desk. Tipton is holding a tribal mask and many others are exhibited in the room. Only Tipton's left hand, holding a mask, is visible to viewers] You sent for me, sir?

John Beresford Tipton:
[Displaying the mask he holds] Look at this beauty, Mike, from the Melanesia Island of New Britain. You know, there the most solemn oath a man can take is this: [Chuckles] If I'm not telling the truth, may I shake hands with my mother-in-law.

Michael Anthony:

John Beresford Tipton:
[Completing the quote] "And thy people shall be my people." Yes, Mike, a mother-in-law can be a trial or a joy, depending on the stature of those involved in it. Here's the name of a son who became deeply involved. [Tipton hands an envelope to Anthony] Here's our new millionaire. [Anthony accepts the envelope and bows]
