"The Einstein of Enterprise."
:29:00
"The Edison of Industry."
:29:03
"The Billion-Dollar Cranium!"
:29:07
"Idea Man!"
:29:11
And not one of you has given me
a story on him!

:29:13
Bunch of lamebrains!
:29:15
Facts, figures, charts.
They never sold a newspaper!

:29:18
I read this morning's Argus
and let me tell you something:

:29:20
I'd wrap a fish in it!
:29:22
I'd use it as kindling!
:29:23
I'd train my poodle on it if he wasn't
a French poodle and partial to Paris Soir.

:29:28
But I wouldn't pay a nickel
to read the thing!

:29:31
Come on, Chief, give us a break.
:29:34
Sure, Tibbs. Take a break.
:29:37
Go to Florida. Lie in the sun.
:29:39
Wait for a coconut to drop.
File a story on it.

:29:42
It'd be more of a grabber than your piece
on the county grain surplus!

:29:45
The human angle!
That's what sells papers!

:29:48
We need a front page with a heart
and the Idea Man can put it there!

:29:52
If we had more access--
:29:53
If a frog had wings
it wouldn't bump it's ass hopping.

:29:56
I don't want excuses, I want results!
:29:58
What makes the Idea Man tick?
Where's he from?
