Gilbert Huph
- Gilbert Huph: Look at me when I'm talking to you, Parr!
- Bob: [looking out the window] That man out there, he needs help!
- Gilbert Huph: Do not change the subject, Bob! We're discussing your attitude!
- Bob: *He* is getting *mugged*!
- Gilbert Huph: Well let's hope we don't cover him!
- Bob: [leaving] I'll be right back.
- Gilbert Huph: Stop right now, or you're fired!
- [Bob stops]
- Gilbert Huph: Close the door.
- [Bob closes door]
- Gilbert Huph: Get over here now.
- [Bob lets go of the doorknob, which has been crushed by his grip; he walks over to Huph]
- Gilbert Huph: I'm not happy, Bob. Not happy.
- Bob: [glancing out the window] He got away.
- Gilbert Huph: Good thing, too. You were this close to losing your jo...
- [Bob grabs Huph by the throat and throws him through the wall; he goes through several walls, to the shock of the other workers]
- Bob: Uh-oh.
- Gilbert Huph: I'm not happy, Bob. Not happy. Ask me why.
- Bob: Okay. Why?
- Gilbert Huph: Why what? Be specific, Bob.
- Bob: Why are you unhappy?
- Gilbert Huph: Your customers make me unhappy.
- Bob: Why? Have you gotten complaints?
- Gilbert Huph: Complaints I can handle. What I can't handle is your customers' inexplicable knowledge of Insuricare'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?
- Gilbert Huph: [begrudgingly] No.
- Bob: Are you saying we shouldn't help our customers?
- Gilbert Huph: [pacing back and forth] The law requires that I answer no.
- Bob: We're supposed to help people!
- Gilbert Huph: We're supposed to help *our* people! Starting with our stockholders, Bob! Who's helping them out, Huh?
- Gilbert Huph: Parr! You authorized payment on the Walker policy?
- Bob: Somebody broke into their house, Mr. Huph. Their policy clearly covers them against...
- Gilbert Huph: I don't care about their coverage, Bob! Don't tell me about their coverage! Tell me how you're keeping Insuricare in the black! Tell me how that's *possible* with you writing checks to every Harry Hardluck and Sally Sobstory that gives you a phone call!
- Gilbert Huph: [in Huph's office] You know, Bob... a company...
- Bob: Is like an enormous clock.
- Gilbert Huph: ...Is like an enormous cl... Yes, precisely. It only works if all the little cogs mesh together. A clock must be clean, well lubricated, and wound tight.
