Paul Frees: John Beresford Tipton

Quotes 

• Michael Anthony : [Anthony enters the library where he finds Tipton seated in a high-back chair with a glass display case to his right. Only Tipton's right hand is visible to viewers]  You sent for me, sir?

  John Beresford Tipton : Mike, in this case I have some of the world's most prized first editions.

  [Holding up a manuscript] 

  John Beresford Tipton : But this document I prize above all. It's one of the few original reproductions of England's Magna Carta.

  Michael Anthony : I believe the Magna Carta is the foundation on which our system of bail is based.

  John Beresford Tipton : Exactly, Mike. And the interesting thing is that, while bail is a protection for the innocent, it also frequently protects the guilty as well.

  [Tipton hands an envelope to Anthony] 

  John Beresford Tipton : Here is a man who knows quite a bit about the effects of bail. He's our next millionaire.

  [Anthony accepts the envelope and bows]
