Richard Crenna: Ralph McKnight

Quotes 

• Ralph McKnight : [Anthony has just finished issuing the million-dollar cashier's check, along with the explanation, to Ralph McKnight, as the two sit in McKnight's apartment]  What do people usually say when you hand them a million dollars?

  Michael Anthony : Oh, it varies. They sometimes stare at the check for quite a while, just as you're doing.

  Ralph McKnight : I was counting the zeroes.

  Michael Anthony : And then they say, 'Why me? Why give me a million dollars?' Even I can't answer that one. And then they say, 'What's the catch?'

  Ralph McKnight : [Glancing at the document Anthony has placed before him]  And this is the catch?

  Michael Anthony : That paper simply states that you will tell no one, except your wife, where you got the money.

  [Anthony reaches into his coat pocket for a pen] 

  Michael Anthony : If you do, it reverts to the donor.

  Ralph McKnight : [Signing]  On my pay at the dairy, I can't afford a wife.

  [Anthony retrieves the agreement] 

  Ralph McKnight : But I know exactly what I'm going to do with this money.

  [Getting serious] 

  Ralph McKnight : Mr. Anthony, I've got to tell this to someone. You see, it was... it was during the war...
