MR. HUPH

Sit down, Bob.


MR. HUPH

I'm not happy, Bob. Not happy. Ask me why.


BOB

Okay. Why?


MR. HUPH

Why what? Be specific, Bob.


BOB

Why are you unhappy?


MR. HUPH

Your customers make me unhappy.


BOB

What, you've gotten complaints?


MR. HUPH

Complaints I can handle. What I can't handle is your
customers' inexplicable knowledge of lnsuricare's inner workings! They're
experts. Experts, Bob! Exploiting every loophole, dodging every obstacle!
They're penetrating the bureaucracy!


BOB

Did I do something illegal?


MR. HUPH

No.


BOB

Are you saying we shouldn't help our customers?


MR. HUPH

The law requires that I answer no.


BOB

We're supposed to help people.


MR. HUPH

We're supposed to help our people! Starting with our
stockholders, Bob. Who's helping them out, huh? You know, Bob, a company...


BOB

Is like an enormous clock.


MR. HUPH

...is like an enormous clo--yes. Precisely. It only works if
all the little cogs mesh together. Now, a clock needs to be cleaned,
well-lubricated and wound tight. The best clocks have jewel movements, cogs
that fit, that cooperate by design. [chuckling] I'm being metaphorical, Bob.
You know what I mean by cooperative cogs? Bob? Bob? Look at me when I'm talking
to you, Parr!


BOB

That man out there, he needs help.


MR. HUPH

Do not change the subject, Bob. We're discussing your
attitude!


BOB

He is getting mugged!


MR. HUPH

Well, let's hope we don't cover him.


BOB

I'll be right back.


MR. HUPH

Stop right now or you're fired! Close the door. Get over
here, now.


MR. HUPH

I'm not happy, Bob. Not happy.


BOB

He got away.


MR. HUPH

Good thing, too. You were this close to losing your jo--


BOB

Uh-oh.
