Jeanne Cooper: Vicki Delbridge

Quotes 

• Michael Anthony : [Anthony rings the buzzer to the Delbridge apartment. Vicki Delbridge responds]  How do you do? Mrs. Delbridge?

  Vicki Delbridge : Yes.

  Michael Anthony : My name is Michael Anthony. I've come to see Mr. Delbridge for a moment. Is he at home?

  Vicki Delbridge : Yes. Won't you come in please?

  Michael Anthony : Thank you.

  [Anthony enters and follows Vicki into the next room] 

  Vicki Delbridge : Ah, this is my husband.

  Roy Delbridge : If it's insurance you're selling, I got all I can handle.

  Michael Anthony : No, I'm not selling anything. I've come to give you something.

  [Looks around the apartment] 

  Michael Anthony : There's no one here but you and Mrs. Delbridge?

  Roy Delbridge : No. Why?

  Michael Anthony : Because the only condition to this gift is that it remain confidential. You and Mrs. Delbridge may know the amount and how you received it, but no one else may.

  Roy Delbridge : What is the amount?

  Michael Anthony : [Anthony opens his briefcase and withdraws a check]  One million dollars.

  Roy Delbridge : [to Vicki]  Well, it's a gag.

  Michael Anthony : No, it's not a gag, Mr. Delbridge.

  [Hands Roy the check] 

  Michael Anthony : And the tax has already been paid.

  Roy Delbridge : Come off it, will ya?

  Vicki Delbridge : [Examining check]  No, honey. Now... now look, It's a cashier's check.

  Roy Delbridge : Now why are you giving this to us?

  Michael Anthony : I'm not doing this myself, and the man whose name is on the check isn't either. He's an officer of the bank where the money has been deposited.

  Roy Delbridge : Well, who is giving it to us?

  Michael Anthony : [Anthony returns to his briefcase to obtain a document]  He wishes to remain anonymous. All you have to do is sign this paper, agreeing to the conditions I've already mentioned.

  [Roy signs the pledge] 

  Michael Anthony : Thank you.

  [Anthony returns the paper to his briefcase] 

  Michael Anthony : I hope this will bring you something you really want. It usually does.

  Roy Delbridge : I'm very grateful, Mr. Anthony, to the man who gave me this money. It'll give my wife a lot of happiness, I'm sure. But there's only one thing I want, and a million dollars can't buy it.

  Michael Anthony : Are you sure? You can have the finest doctors in the world.

  Roy Delbridge : I've had them. The United States government has done its best, and it has a great many million dollars.

  Michael Anthony : I'm sorry. Well, goodbye, Mr. Delbridge, Mrs. Delbridge.

  [Anthony turns toward the door] 

  Vicki Delbridge : Goodbye.

  [Anthony departs]
