Staff Member: “I don’t know.”
Me: “Well, I see you’re watching the news. If you should happen to find out, would you tell him?”
Staff Member: “But I don’t know!”
Me: “I understand that. He’s just trying to find out.”
Staff Member: “But I don’t know!”
Me: “But, if you should happen to find out…”
Staff Member: “But I don’t know!”
