Quotes 

• Michael Anthony : [Hendricks enters his office where he finds Anthony seated in a chair, awaiting him]  Mr. Hendricks? Mr. Brian Hendricks?

  Brian Hendricks : Yes.

  Michael Anthony : [Opens his briefcase]  I have something for you, Mr. Hendricks.

  [Anthony hands a check to Hendricks] 

  Michael Anthony : A million dollars.

  Brian Hendricks : [Looking at check]  What is this? Aren't, aren't you the...

  [Presenting a document] 

  Michael Anthony : And it's yours when you sign this paper, promising not to reveal its source to anyone but your wife. If you do, whatever is left will be reclaimed on behalf of the donor.

  Brian Hendricks : Who'd give me a million dollars?

  Michael Anthony : That you will never know, Mr. Hendricks. Now if you will, uh, sign right here.

  Brian Hendricks : [Examines check closely]  But... what if... that's not a joke. It's a cashier's check for a million dollars. I, I, I can live!

  [Anthony returns the agreement to his briefcase while Hendricks carries on] 

  Brian Hendricks : You'll forgive me for rushing off this way. I should take you to lunch or something, but I've got to tend to something that's really a matter of life or death.
