Do you understand
You're the cleverest young man in London
But he and I, with our blunt instruments, have managed to grasp something that you cannot
I simply wish you to be aware of the fact有香烟吗？
有
谢谢。
听我说，别犯傻，Tietjens。支持Waterhouse是我部职责，让他的提案上呈议会，明白吗？大臣必须证明保险法案能收支平衡。
根本不能平衡，我认为本部有责任告诉他这一点。
Tietjens，你是全伦敦最聪明的人，这是MacMaster说的，我也想相信他。但是他和我，虽然资质愚钝，却理解了你不明白的东西。
谢谢。
那就是，你不按他们的要求做，他们就会派个想争功的办事员来抢走我们的功劳。
我只希望您能明白，只需要调整计算方法，就可获得令人满意的结果。我会在一小时十分钟之内把结果交给MacMaster，但这一定要算作他的计算结果。
很好。
