Quote context

[...]

- Now, I think it over... If you want to look at a mousetrap, look at one.

- Oh, papa! Mama changed her mind. We don't wanna look at no mousetraps.

- Well, this is your idea.

- Coming all the way from America to Switzerland to sell mousetraps. Whatever gave you that idea?

- I thought there'd be more mice here than anywhere.

- And just why should there be more mice here than any place else in the world?

- Don't they make more cheese here?

- Do you realise we've been here two weeks and haven't sold a single mousetrap and we're flat broke?

- We're flat broke.

- Does that mean we haven't any money?

- You know what the trouble is, don't you?

- No. What?

- We're not going to the right places.

- What do you mean?

- Suppose you were a mouse and you wanted something to eat, where would you go?

- I'd go where there was cheese, of course.

- That's the idea. Where there's cheese, there's mice.
