The Twilight Zone1959

Emily Harper:
[of the Mardi Gras masks he's presented them with] Father, you don't mean - we have to WEAR these ugly things...?

Jason Foster:
Only for a few hours. Only 'til the unmasking at midnight.

Paula Harper:
Well, I won't wear mine.

Wilfred Harper, Jr.:
Me neither; it's stupid.

Wilfred Harper:
Well, Father, it seems we're somewhat at odds here.

Jason Foster:
Not really, Wilfred. You all came here for one purpose: to watch me go and cry "Bon voyage". To put coins on my closed eyes and with your free hands start grabbing things from my shelves.

Emily Harper:
Father, that's cruel.

Jason Foster:
That's truth. You've come to reap everything I've sown, to collect everything I've built. Well, I shall not disappoint you. Everything is yours. Everything is prepared, the will isi made; the four of you inherit everything I own. Everything... money, house, property holding, stocks, bonds, everything.

Wilfred Harper:
Father, you're breaking our *hearts*.

Jason Foster:
Well, that's the most touching thing you ever dredged up by way of conversation, Wilfred... But, I must include this adenda, this small proviso: you shall wear your masks until midnight. If any one of you should take them off, from my estate you shall each receive train-fare back to Boston and *that's it*!

Wilfred Harper:
Well, we won't be spoilsports. If this is your pleasure, Father, we'll indulge you!

[slowly, they all don the masks]
