Tom, dear, you're the businessman
of the family, and the smartest.

:06:06
Up to now.
:06:08
But this is not the way, Tom, dear.
:06:11
With due respect to Mr Fumble,
it simply will not work.

:06:16
- And may I ask why?
- Yes, why?

:06:19
Because this is a job
for someone that nobody knows.

:06:24
I have a very good business
:06:26
and I will not take on an assignment
that we can't do our best work with.

:06:32
Therefore I must withdraw.
:06:34
- But, Mr Fumble...
- And I warn you.

:06:37
If this is to be a successful venture,
:06:40
be sure that you pick someone
that nobody knows.

:06:44
But nobody.
:06:47
Gentlemen. Ladies.
:06:53
Someone nobody knows?
:06:56
Irma Paramutual. Uh-uh.
:07:00
You've been around here
since we opened.

:07:03
Ulysses Paramutual.
:07:05
No, you've been around too long, too.
:07:08
Albert Paramutual?
No, everybody knows you.

:07:12
Paramutual. Paramutual. Paramutual.
:07:16
Nobody but Paramutuals.
Someone nobody knows.

:07:20
Tom, I maintain that in order
to get the information that you want,

:07:24
we should get somebody
that not only nobody knows,

:07:28
but someone that couldn't care less
about our problems or anybody else's.

:07:33
How do you mean?
:07:35
We need somebody
so concerned with his own problems

:07:39
that he won't know
that we literally want him to spy for us.

:07:43
Somebody who doesn't care
about money,

:07:46
about how we spend ours,
how much we have or anybody else has.

:07:51
- Where do you find this someone?
- Frankly, Tom, I don't think you do.

:07:57
The person that we want
probably doesn't exist.
