- But why would Ballon?
- He wouldn't. Unless he was protecting someone.
- 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.
