Michael Anthony: [Anthony enters the study to see Tipton, seated in a high backed chair at his desk, with a phonograph record player and a miniature roulette wheel on his desk beside each other. Only Tipton's right arm is visible to viewers] You sent for me, sir?
John Beresford Tipton: [Indicating the roulette wheel] What's your pleasure, Mike?
Michael Anthony: [Thinking] Eleven Black.
John Beresford Tipton: [Tipton spins the wheel. It stops] Nine Red. You lose, Mike.
[Indicating the record player and the wheel]
John Beresford Tipton: These two have a lot in common, besides the fact that they both spin. People sometimes stake as much on the spin of a record as they do on the spin of the wheel.
Michael Anthony: I'm not certain I follow you, sir.
John Beresford Tipton: Some people gamble their hopes and their futures on the success of a record. As with the roulette wheel, sometimes they win, sometimes they lose.
[Tipton hands an envelope to Anthony]
John Beresford Tipton: Our next millionaire.
[Anthony accepts the envelope and bows]
