John Lupton: Jimmy Reilly

Quotes 

• Michael Anthony : [Anthony enters Reilly's shuttered restaurant]  Mr. Reilly? Mr. James Reilly?

  Jimmy Reilly : [thinks that Anthony is a creditor]  Look, bud, don't come bothering me here. File your claim with the others.

  Michael Anthony : I don't think you understand. I don't want any money from you, Mr. Reilly. I've come to give you some.

  [Anthony opens his briefcase and hands Reilly a check] 

  Jimmy Reilly : [Wide-eyed]  One million smackers!

  Michael Anthony : It's yours, free of all encumbrances. A gift from an anonymous benefactor who insists on remaining unknown.

  Jimmy Reilly : He's giving me this? He must to be nuts!

  Michael Anthony : [Insulted]  Mr. Reilly, I assure you, anyone who could afford to give away a million dollars can hardly be classified as nuts!

  Jimmy Reilly : You mean to say there's no catch to this?

  Michael Anthony : [Withdrawing a document from his briefcase]  No catch, uh, except one. You are prohibited from telling anyone, except your wife at such time as you may acquire a wife, the amount of money you have received or the way you received it. If you fail to adhere to this stipulation, the balance of the money will be reclaimed. Agreed?

  Jimmy Reilly : Agreed!

  Michael Anthony : [Offering the agreement]  Then If you'll, uh, sign right here, please.

  [Reilly signs and Anthony retains the promise] 

  Jimmy Reilly : Wife? You did say wife?

  [Anthony nods] 

  Jimmy Reilly : Excuse me.

  [Reilly grabs the phone] 

  Jimmy Reilly : Operator, give me Western Union.
