I would say this piece of dialogue is the correct one, but I am not completely sure. "Send for Joseph? It would be useless. Joseph has affairs on his own hand, always".

The correct answer is:

"Send for Joseph? It would be useless. Joseph has affairs on his own hand, always".

Madam Potiphar suggests that Joseph is not a good enough secretary because he is constantly busy with his own activities, rather than being available when he is needed.

In this line from Madam Potiphar, we can trace her desire for her husband to substitute his secretary, Joseph, with someone else.
