Jack Lord: Lee Randolph

Quotes 

• Michael Anthony : [At Randolph's hospital room door]  May I come in, Mr. Randolph?

  Lee Randolph : Sure, why not? Another new doctor?

  Michael Anthony : [Opening his briefcase]  Oh, I'm not a doctor. I'm more of a messenger. My name is Michael Anthony. I have something for you

  [Displaying a check] 

  Michael Anthony : Do you know what this is?

  Lee Randolph : [Examining the check]  Yeah. It's a check for a million dollars. What's next, Doctor?

  Michael Anthony : I told you I am not a doctor. This check is for real.

  Lee Randolph : What is this? A new technique - another shock treatment? Aren't you going to give me the usual lecture?

  Michael Anthony : I don't think you need any lectures. The doctors assure me you could walk out of here today.

  Lee Randolph : Maybe I like it here. Maybe I'm scared to go out in that big world and scrabble for a living again.

  Michael Anthony : With this, you'll never have to worry about a living for the rest of your life.

  Lee Randolph : [Reviews the check again]  It's a cashier's check. Who would give this to me? I don't even know you.

  Michael Anthony : Oh, it's not from me.

  Lee Randolph : Who's it from?

  Michael Anthony : Your benefactor must remain anonymous. But I assure you, it's good. And it comes to you tax-free and with no strings attached, except your pledge. You agree not to reveal, on penalty of forfeiture, how you got the money or the amount to anyone except your wife, if you marry.

  Lee Randolph : Wait a minute, Mister. Is this on the level?

  Michael Anthony : I assure you it is decidedly on the level. Just sign this and you'll be a very wealthy man.

  [Randolph signs and Anthony places the document into his briefcase] 

  Michael Anthony : Thank you.

  [Starts for the door] 

  Michael Anthony : Good luck.

  Lee Randolph : Wait a minute. I want to ask you a few more questions.

  Michael Anthony : Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Randolph. I've already told you all I can. Goodbye.
