Mr. Sumner?

a little talk in your office.
- Certainly. Go right in.
- Thank you.
- Sit down.
- Thank you.
Yes, Mr. Sumner,
what can I do for you?
I didn't want to say anything
in front of your staff,
because every time I mention
what I do, people go into a panic.
Good heavens.
What do you do?
I'm a methods engineer.
Is that a sort of
efficiency expert?
Well, that term
is a bit obsolete now.
Oh. Forgive me.
I'm so sorry.
I'm the old-fashioned type.
I thought I knew everyone in this

a very nice little talk.
Well, I haven't
got into that yet.
It's a little too soon to evaluate.
But I think we're thinking
along the right lines.
Yes.
All right, Azae.
I'll be up in a few minutes. Bye.
- Azae.
- Yes, yes.
I'll have to come back later,
uh, Miss Watson.
You'll get to Azae's office
much quicker...
if you use this back elevator.
Oh. Oh, thank you.
- See you later.
- Fine.
Hi. Cathy? Bunny.
Hey, what do you know
about a Richard Sum...
Uh, I'll have to call you back
with that information.
- Where the...
- Thank you.
- Uh...
- What's the matter?
Uh, l... I had a tape measure.
I must have left it here.
What did it look like?
I mean, any color?
No, just a plain, ordinary...
Oh, here it is.
Here it is.
Uh, sorry.
- Th-Thank you.
- Don't mention it.
Uh, I'll... see you later.

What is it, Bunny?
Who is he?
- What's he doing up here?
- Yes, what's he want, anyway?
