[FINCH, spoken]
Mr. Twimble?

[TWIMBLE, spoken]
Yes?

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

[TWIMBLE, spoken]
Long, long time
Last month I became a quarter‐of‐a‐century man

[FINCH, spoken]
That's beautiful
Gee, a quarter of a century

[TWIMBLE, spoken]
A quarter of a century

[FINCH, spoken]
How long have you been in the mailroom?

[TWIMBLE, spoken]
Twenty‐five years
[TWIMBLE]
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 I haven't had one in years

[FINCH, spoken]
You play it safe

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

[FINCH]
But what is your point of view?

[TWIMBLE]
I have no point of view

[FINCH]
Supposing thе company thinks—
[TWIMBLE]
I think so too

[FINCH, spoken]
Well, what would you say—

[TWIMBLE, spoken]
I wouldn't say

[FINCH]
Your face is a company face

[TWIMBLE]
It smilеs at executives
Then goes back in place

[FINCH]
The company furniture?

[TWIMBLE]
Oh, it suits me fine

[FINCH]
The company letterhead is so—

[TWIMBLE]
A valentine
[FINCH, spoken]
Is there anything you're against?

[TWIMBLE, spoken]
Unemployment

[FINCH]
When they want brilliant thinking
From employees

[TWIMBLE]
That is no concern of mine

[FINCH]
Suppose a man of genius
Makes suggestions?

[TWIMBLE]
Watch that genius get suggested to resign

[FINCH]
So you play it the company way

[TWIMBLE]
All company policy is by me okay

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

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

[FINCH, spoken]
Well, you certainly found a home

[TWIMBLE, spoken]
It's cozy

[FINCH]
Your brain is a company brain

[TWIMBLE]
The company washed it
And now I can't complain

[FINCH]
The company magazine?

[TWIMBLE]
Boy, what style, what punch!

[FINCH]
The company restaurant?

[TWIMBLE]
Every day, same lunch

[TWIMBLE, spoken]
Their haddock sandwich, it's delicious

[FINCH, spoken]
I must try it

[TWIMBLE, spoken]
Early in the week

[FINCH]
Do you have any hobbies?

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

[FINCH]
And do you play it nicely?

[TWIMBLE]
Play it nicely
Still, he blitzes me in every game, like that!

[FINCH, spoken]
Why?

[TWIMBLE]
'Cause I play it the company way

[TWIMBLE]
Executive policy is by me okay

[FINCH]
How can you get anywhere?

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

[FINCH]
You will still be here

[TWIMBLE]
Year after year after fiscal

[TWIMBLE & FINCH]
Never take a risk all year!
