Michael Anthony: [Anthony enters a laboratory to witness Tipton, who is off-screen, holding two test tubes of liquids. Only Tipton's hands are visible to viewers. He is wearing a lab coat] You sent for me, sir?
John Beresford Tipton: Mike, you see here two test tubes. Each one contains a separate element, in fluid state, of course. Their nature prevents them from mixing. Now watch.
[Tipton pours the liquid from one test tube into the other. The liquids do not blend and one sits atop the other liquid]
Michael Anthony: [Smiling] Mmm-hmm. You might say that, because of their attitudes, they are mutually exclusive - incompatible.
John Beresford Tipton: [Chuckles] *You* might say.
[Anthony is taken aback]
John Beresford Tipton: But at the moment, we are dealing with chemical elements. Now, in this dropper
[indicating a third tube]
John Beresford Tipton: is a third element, completely unrelated to the other two. Let's see what happens.
[Tipton pours the third tube into the tube containing the other two liquids. All three liquids mingle into one liquid]
John Beresford Tipton: In that dropper is a catalytic agent, which has the property of affecting and blending the other two elements.
[Tipton puts the tube into a rack]
John Beresford Tipton: There. Mike, there are people whose lives are just as dramatically changed by a catalytic agent.
[Tipton hands an envelope to Anthony]
John Beresford Tipton: Here's the name of our next millionaire, one of the incompatible elements - a human element.
[Anthony accepts the envelope, smiles, bows]
