Paul Frees: John Beresford Tipton

Quotes 

• Michael Anthony : [Anthony enters the Tipton laboratory, where he discovers Tipton, wearing a lab coat, working with chemicals, a flame, and test tubes. Tipton is off-camera with only his hands visible to viewers]  You sent for me, sir?

  John Beresford Tipton : Yes, Mike. Watch this.

  [Tipton pores the contents of one test tube into another] 

  John Beresford Tipton : I'm speeding up a chemical reaction by adding what is called a catalyst. A catalyst is an exciter, Mike.

  Michael Anthony : I beg your pardon?

  John Beresford Tipton : An exciter. Substances change, fuse, and explode from the molecules that form them, excited by a catalyst.

  Michael Anthony : Yes, sir.

  John Beresford Tipton : That's the experiments I'm making with these gifts, putting human lives under a microscope, adding the catalyst of a million dollars and watching them react.

  [Tipton hands envelope to Anthony] 

  John Beresford Tipton : Here - let's see what happens with this experiment. Our next millionaire.

  [Anthony accepts the envelope]
