Sam Lowry

Excuse me, Dawson, can you put me through to Mr. Helpmann's office?

Dawson

I'm afraid I can't sir. You have to go through the proper channels.

Sam Lowry

And you can't tell me what the proper channels are, because that's classified information?

Dawson

I'm glad to see the Ministry's continuing its tradition of recruiting the brightest and best, sir.

Sam Lowry

Thank you, Dawson.
