The Millionaire1955

Michael Anthony:
[Anthony enters the Tipton library to find Tipton seated in a high backed chair at his desk, perusing a stock market ticker] You sent for me, sir?

John Beresford Tipton:
Mike, do you own any stocks?

Michael Anthony:
No, sir, I don't,

John Beresford Tipton:
Then it makes no difference to you if the market averages go up or down?

Michael Anthony:
I'm neutral, sir, like any average man.

John Beresford Tipton:
Average? Mike, have you ever met an average man?

Michael Anthony:
[Puzzled] Well, do you mean ordinary or... [Anthony is befuddled] I'm not sure, sir.

John Beresford Tipton:
[Chuckles] Well, at least that's any honest answer. The stock market has averages but human beings do not. [Tipton hands over an envelope to Anthony] Our next millionaire comes out of a picture labeled "Average American Family." But I think you'll find them rather exceptional.
