Paul Frees: John Beresford Tipton

Quotes 

• Michael Anthony : [Anthony enters the study to discover Tipton, seated in a high back chair at his desk, fiddling with a miniature circus wagon. Calliope music is heard and only Tipton's hands are visible to viewers]  You sent for me, sir?

  John Beresford Tipton : Circus music. A calliope, named for one of the muses. Know which one, Mike?

  Michael Anthony : Yes, sir, the muse of epic poetry.

  John Beresford Tipton : And that's fitting - there's plenty of epic poetry in a circus: love, laughter, and sudden death.

  [Tipton hands an envelope to Anthony] 

  John Beresford Tipton : Here's the name of our new millionaire, Mike. You'll find him under the big top.
