Michael Anthony : [Anthony enters the study to see Tipton seated in a high backed chair at his desk, holding a magnifying glass and examining a large coin collection. Only Tipton's hands are visible to viewers] You sent for me, sir?
John Beresford Tipton : Numismatics, Mike.
Michael Anthony : I beg your pardon, sir?
John Beresford Tipton : [Chuckles] Rare coins. Fascinating hobby.
Michael Anthony : Yes, sir.
John Beresford Tipton : [Tipton continues to examine his collection] You know, it must be one of man's primeval instincts to collect things, Mike. Coins, stamps, miniatures. Why, some people even collect grudges.
Michael Anthony : Grudges, sir?
John Beresford Tipton : Grievances against their fellow man.
[Tipton hands an envelope to Anthony]
John Beresford Tipton : Let's see if we can devaluate the value of this young man's grudge with a million dollars.
