Jack Lint This is information retrieval not information dispersal.
I only know you got the wrong man.
Jack Lint Information Transit got the wrong man. I got the *right* man. The wrong one was delivered to me as the right man, I accepted him on good faith as the right man. Was I wrong?
How are the twins?

My, how time flies!

He's got away from us, Jack.

I only know you got the wrong man.
Jack Lint Information Transit got to wrong man. I got the right man. The 'wrong man' was delivered to me as the 'right man.' I accepted him on good faith as the 'right man.' Was I wrong?
You killed Buttle?
Jack Lint Sam, there are very rigid parameters laid down to prevent such things happening. It wasn't my fault that Buttle's heart condition didn't appear on Tuttle's file... We're going to have to bring Mr. Tuttle in, aren't we? And interrogate him at the same voltage as Mr. Buttle - and juggle the books in electrical banking.
What has Tuttle done?
Jack Lint We suspect him of, uh, free lance subversion. Then all I need to wrap up the case is the Layton woman.
What has she done?
Jack Lint Oh, she witnessed the Tuttle, uhm, the Buttle arrest and essentially is going around making wild allegations, obviously trying to exploit the situation. She's working for someone and I don't think it's us.
