Quotes1

  • Michael Anthony: [Anthony enters Tipton's den and finds Tipton seated in a high-backed chair, examining three miniature totem poles on his desk. Only Tipton's left arm is visible to the viewers] You sent for me, sir?
  • John Beresford Tipton: Mike,
  • [Tipton waves at the poles]
  • John Beresford Tipton: you know what these are, of course.
  • Michael Anthony: They're totem poles, sir.
  • John Beresford Tipton: Quite right.
  • Michael Anthony: It's amazing, isn't it, sir, that so-called primitive people should have such pride of family that they'd create these monuments to their ancestors?
  • John Beresford Tipton: [Chuckles] That's not really amazing, Mike, when you consider that perhaps they had reason to be proud.
  • [Tipton hands over an envelope to Anthony]
  • John Beresford Tipton: When you deliver this, you may see a rather startling example of just such pride in a so-called civilized person.
  • [Anthony bows and, with another glance at the totem poles, departs]
