: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?
:30:01
I want to know everything about him!
Has he got a girl? Has he got parents?
:30:05
Everybody has parents.
:30:07
All right, how many?
:30:10
How about it, Parkinson?
You've been awfully quiet.
:30:14
Still waters run deep.
:30:16
Only thing deep with Parkinson
are the holes in his ears.
:30:18
Yes! Idea Man!
:30:20
What are his hopes and dreams,
his desires and aspirations?
:30:24
Does he think all the time
or a certain portion of the day?
:30:27
How tall is he? Where does he sleep?
What does he have for breakfast?
:30:30
Does he put jam on his toast
or doesn't he?
:30:33
If not, why not and since when?
:30:36
Well?
:30:38
You're useless.
:30:40
Yes. Idea Man.
:30:42
"Creator."
:30:43
"Innovator."
:30:45
"Cerebrator."
:30:47
Fake!
:30:48
I tell you, the guy's a phony.
:30:51
- Phony?
- As a $3 bill.
:30:52
- Says who?
- Says me, Amy Archer!
:30:54
Why is he an Idea Man?
Because Hudsucker says so?
:30:56
What are his ideas?
Why can't anyone interview him?
:30:59
Five bucks says she mentions her Pulitzer.
