Michael Anthony: [Anthony enters the Tipton study to discover Tipton seated in a high backed chair at his desk, playing Solitaire] You sent for me, sir?John Beresford Tipton: One moment, Mike. Just one moment.Michael Anthony: [Perusing the hand on Tipton's desk] Excuse me, sir. If you put the red nine over there on the black ten...John Beresford Tipton: You know, Mike, you're a very satisfactory person.Michael Anthony: [Anthony grins] Well, sir, I just happened to...John Beresford Tipton: One of the rules of Solitaire, which you have just so ably demonstrated, is that [Tipton's voice becomes irritated] it is impossible to play without a second person barging in and pointing out the most obvious move.Michael Anthony: [Taken aback] Oh.John Beresford Tipton: However, if I ignore your disastrous suggestion and move this instead, [Tipton moves a row of cards] I can do this, [Tipton moves another row of cards] and the game is almost over. That's another rule of Solitaire, Mike: when the cards are all up, the game is over.Michael Anthony: I imagine a good many other games follow that pattern, don't they, sir?John Beresford Tipton: But suppose they don't, Mike. Suppose two people start playing a game, then can't figure out how to stop playing. [Tipton hands over envelope to Anthony] Our next millionaire, Mike. [Anthony bows and departs]
