Michael Anthony: [Anthony descends some stairs into a Tipton estate laboratory. Tipton is just off camera and only his right arm is visible] You sent for me, sir?
John Beresford Tipton: Have you ever seen a device like this, Mike?
Michael Anthony: [Anthony observes a candle burning in a dish, surrounded by a black powder] A candle, sir?
John Beresford Tipton: A candle burning toward an explosive powder.
[Anthony becomes immediately concerned]
John Beresford Tipton: I understand it was once very popular as a torture device.
Michael Anthony: I... I don't believe I ever...
John Beresford Tipton: There are people whose lives are lived this way. It can cause great tension, wouldn't you say?
Michael Anthony: [Anthony watches the burning candle growing closer to the powder] I would, sir. Yes, I would.
John Beresford Tipton: Perhaps it's something in the past they fear, or something never quite fully accepted or faced up to.
Michael Anthony: [Anthony observes the burning candle approaching the powder] Sir!
John Beresford Tipton: Oh, are you worried, Mike?
[chuckles]
John Beresford Tipton: Don't be. It's only charcoal.
[Anthony is visibly relieved. Tipton hands over an envelope to Anthony]
John Beresford Tipton: Here, Mike, our next millionaire.
[Anthony manages a weak smile as he accepts the envelope]
