  Michael Anthony : Miss Katherine Boland?

  Katherine Boland : Are you a salesman? I have a sign on the door.

  Michael Anthony : My name is Michael Anthony. I have something of great importance for you.

  Katherine Boland : I'm really not interested in whatever it is.

  [Boland closes the peak hole, pinching Anthony's finger] 

  Michael Anthony : Oh!

  Katherine Boland : [Boland opens the door]  What did you say your name is?

  Michael Anthony : Michael Anthony.

  Katherine Boland : Mr. Anthony, I think you are very rude. I told you that I'm not interested in whatever it is you're selling.

  Michael Anthony : Might I come in for a moment? I assure you I have nothing to sell.

  Katherine Boland : Well then, what is it?

  Katherine Boland : Gift?

  Michael Anthony : [Holds up a check for Boland to read]  This is a cashier's check, made out in your name, for $1,000,000. It is yours for just a few moments of your time.

  Katherine Boland : [Leads Anthony to the parlor]  Why,. I guess I can spare a moment or two.

  Michael Anthony : Thank you.

  Michael Anthony : Oh, no, Miss Boland. I assure you this is not that.

  Katherine Boland : Please sit down.

  Katherine Boland : This is my niece, Elizabeth.

  Michael Anthony : How do you do?

  Katherine Boland : Will you make us a pot of tea? Mr. Anthony and I have some business to discuss.

  Beth Boland : Okay, one pot of tea coming up!

  [Elizabeth departs] 

  Katherine Boland : [to Anthony]  She really is a very sweet girl. Sometimes she forgets her manners.

  Michael Anthony : Oh, believe me, your security is quite safe.

  Katherine Boland : Well, I think I can trust you. You have an honest face.
