Jennifer Lea: Meg Andrews

Quotes 

• William Vaughn : [Anthony has had an extremely difficult time getting to see William Vaughn, Tipton's new millionaire, who has had a mild heart attack and is being tended by a diligent but pleasant nurse. Finally, Anthony slips in through an unlocked side door, goes upstairs undetected, and enters Vaughn's bedroom. He is greeted by a pillow tossed at him by the bedridden Vaughn]  Out, I said. No visitors! One relative's enough for a day.

  Michael Anthony : I'm not a relative, Mr. Vaughn. My name is Michael Anthony,

  [Anthony picks up the pillow and places it behind Vaughn's head. Anthony opens his briefcase to retrieve some documents] 

  Michael Anthony : and I come here to bring you this check -

  [Displaying check to Vaughan] 

  Michael Anthony : a cashier's check made out in your name for a million dollars. It's yours, tax-free, a gift of $1,000,000.

  William Vaughn : Hey look, I just had a little heart attack. I... I didn't lose my mind.

  Michael Anthony : Please, Mr. Vaughn, take it. You see, it's yours on this one condition: That no one else except your wife - and I know you're not married - ever knows the exact amount or the circumstances under which you received it.

  William Vaughn : Well. it's a cashier's check - as good as money. Who'd give me...

  Michael Anthony : Your benefactor must be anonymous.

  [Anthony keeps looking back at the door, worried that someone may enter at any moment] 

  Michael Anthony : Now, if you'll sign this paper, agreeing to the condition.

  [Anthony drops his pen and while he picks it up, Vaughn muses] 

  William Vaughn : I wonder if it coulda been that crazy old prospector I grub-staked once

  Michael Anthony : If you want to think so. Only sign this please, agreeing that if you do tell anyone, the money will be reclaimed.

  [Checking the door again] 

  Michael Anthony : Uh.

  [Taps pen against document] 

  Michael Anthony : right here.

  [Vaughn signs] 

  Michael Anthony : Thank you.

  [Replaces the agreement into his briefcase] 

  Meg Andrews : [Entering]  How did you get in here?

  Michael Anthony : I must admit, I sneaked in through a side door.

  [Anthony prepares to leave] 

  Meg Andrews : Well, you can sneak right back out again. Look how you've got my patient all upset.

  William Vaughn : Now, don't be too hard on him.

  Michael Anthony : I'm only too glad to leave now

  [Anthony departs]
