Quote context

[...]

- Now if you were protecting someone, who would be the perfect man on the case? A fool. A detective who is a complete and utter fool.

- Clouseau?

- Of course.

- If Maria Gambrelli is convicted, Ballon is up to his ears in a very nasty scandal, and Clouseau was his insurance policy against such a scandal.

- Well, he has gone.

- Ah. I feel like a child again.

- It's an interesting theory, but what if you are wrong?

- I know it's an extremely remote possibility, but what if you are wrong and Ballon is not protecting Maria Gambrelli?

- What if she is innocent, as Clouseau claims?

- Ridiculous.

- But a possibility.

- What if Ballon is protecting someone else, or what if Ballon himself is the guilty party?

- It's a sadistic thing to suggest.

- But, if only for the sake of discussion, what if you are wrong, and Clouseau - a fool, a complete and utter fool...?

- I'd be ruined.

- It's something to consider.

- François?

- Yes, Commissioner?

- Would you please call for a doctor?

- Are you ill?

- I seem to have stabbed myself with a letter opener.
