“If your poison is as effective as you say it is, why are there any rats left in Venice at all? Very simple! Venice doesn't use my poison. The city council always awards contracts to the lowest bidder, so I don't even bother submitting a bid. I'm prepared to make my contribution to humanity, but -- humanity must be willing to make a contribution to me.”
