About This Quote

This quote is said by an employee to his superior after he fails to explain the requirement of the job. He fails to explain what exactly does the job require, which leads to his boss questioning him about his knowledge of the job. He tries to explain that he has no soul even though he is capable of doing the job, because he doesn't feel that there is any need for a soul for doing any job.
