Michael Anthony:  You sent for me , sir ?
John Beresford Tipton: Mike , did you ever grow a beard ?
Michael Anthony: Well , yes , in a way .
John Beresford Tipton: Oh ? What way ?
Michael Anthony: Well , I started _ one _ - but it grew in red .
John Beresford Tipton: You know , Mike , a beard was once a mark of dignity , prestige , age . Today , it 's a badge of youth .
Michael Anthony: And of the beatnik , sir ?
John Beresford Tipton: That 's right , Mike . Some are beat because they 're defeated . Others are beat because they like to beat a drum . Our next millionaire , Mike . And Mike , perhaps if you deliver that with a beard , you wo n't be taken for a square .
