Paul Frees: John Beresford Tipton

Quotes 

• Michael Anthony : [Anthony enters the Tipton study, to find Tipton seated in a high-backed chair with only his left arm visible to the viewers. To Tipton's left is a five-pointed star wheel]  You sent for me, sir?

  John Beresford Tipton : Mike, do you believe a man under hypnosis can go back into his past life and actually relive it?

  Michael Anthony : I'm certainly no authority, sir, but I do know such claims have been made.

  John Beresford Tipton : I've been making some experiments in hypnotic science. Watch.

  [Tipton turns on a bright light beside him and shines the star wheel directly into the face of Anthony] 

  Michael Anthony : [after several seconds of the light and wheel having a hypnotic effect on him, Anthony shakes it off]  Huh, very intriguing.

  John Beresford Tipton : There's another little experiment I'd like to try, substituting, however, a million dollars for the hypnotic trance.

  [Tipton hands over an envelope to Anthony] 

  John Beresford Tipton : There's our new millionaire, Mike.

  [Anthony bows and departs]
