[FINCH:]
Mr. Twimble


[MR. TWIMBLE:]
Yes?


[FINCH:]
You've been with this company a long time, haven't you?


[MR. TWIMBLE:]
A long, long time. Just last month I became a quarter of a century man


[FINCH:]
Aww, that's beautiful! Gee, a quarter of a century!


[MR. TWIMBLE:]
A quarter of a century!


[FINCH:]
And how long have you been in the mailroom?


[MR. TWIMBLE:]
25 years. Yep! It takes a combination of skill, diplomacy and bold caution


When I joined this firm
As a brash young man
Well I said to myself now brash young man
Don't get any ideas, well, I stuck to that
And haven't had one in years.


[FINCH:]
Ah, you play it safe


[MR. TWIMBLE:]
I play it the company way.
Wherever the company puts me
There I'll stay.


[FINCH:]
But what's your point of view?


[MR. TWIMBLE:]
I have no point of view!


[FINCH:]
Supposing the company thinks


[MR. TWIMBLE:]
I think so too!


[FINCH:]
Now, what would you say if they put you-


[MR. TWIMBLE:]
I wouldn't say!


[FINCH:]
You're facing the company face


[MR. TWIMBLE:]
It smiles at executives
then goes back in place!


[FINCH:]
The company furniture...


[MR. TWIMBLE:]
Oh, it suits me fine!


[FINCH:]
The company letterhead...


[MR. TWIMBLE:]
A Valentine!


[FINCH:]
Is there anything you're against?


[MR. TWIMBLE:]
Unemployment!


[FINCH:]
When they want brilliant thinking
from employees


[MR. TWIMBLE:]
That is no concern of mine


[FINCH:]
Suppose a man of genius make suggestions


[MR. TWIMBLE:]
What's that genius get suggested to resign?


[FINCH:]
So, you play it the company way?


[MR. TWIMBLE:]
Oh, company policy is by me ok.


[FINCH:]
You'll never rise up to the top


[MR. TWIMBLE:]
But there's one thing clear
Whoever the company fires
I will still be here!


[FINCH:]
Oh, you certainly found a home.


[MR. TWIMBLE:]
It's cozy


[FINCH:]
Your brain is a company brain.


[MR. TWIMBLE:]
The company washed it,
Now I can't complain.


[FINCH:]
The company magazine...


[MR. TWIMBLE:]
Know what style, what punch


[FINCH:]
The company restaurant


[MR. TWIMBLE:]
Every day same lunch.
Their hattock sandwich, it's delicious.


[FINCH:]
I must try it!


[MR. TWIMBLE:]
Early in the week.


[FINCH:]
Do you have any hobbies?


[MR. TWIMBLE:]
I've a hobby, I play gin with Mr. Bratt.


[FINCH:]
And do you play it nicely?


[MR. TWIMBLE:]
Play it nicely, still he blitzes me on every game like that!


[FINCH:]
Why?


[MR. TWIMBLE:]
'Cause I play it the company way.
Executive policy is by me ok


[FINCH:]
How can you get anywhere?


[MR. TWIMBLE:]
Junior have no fear.
Whoever the company fires
I will still be here.


[FINCH:]
You will still be here.


[MR. TWIMBLE:]
Year, after year, after fiscal,


[BOTH:]
Never take a risko year!
