Ambition Explorers Prints

"How can I be expected to reach my 'full potential' when I can't even reach the cookie jar?"

"It's time to give up the cheese dream, Bryan. My parents bought us a hole in the wall in Jersey full of bird seed and breadcrumbs."

Dressed for Success!

"This could be the year someone actually goes up there."

"Be careful what you wish for, Bob, because you just might get it. And if it happens to be what I was wishing for, things could get pretty ugly around here."

And here's the office floor plan. The numbers indicate the recommended sequence in which to step on people on your way to the top.

The Salesman

Not thinking BIG enough: Nickel & Dime Bank.

"How can you have a meteoric rise to the top in a one-story building?"

'That's the first cubicle I ever worked in.'

'It could have been worse...she might have chosen banking.'

"I've finally arrived. The C.E.O. stopped saying 'who the hell are you' whenever he sees me."

If a moo can rise to the top, so can I.

'What can you wish for?!... Oh, I don't know... Infinite wealth, beautiful women throwing themselves at your feet, fame and admiration, perhaps?... But, don't let me influence you.'

"My daughter tells me you want to become a doctor."

"So...do you have a job now?"

"It's not enough being a cat anymore. I want to be a fat cat."

"Obviously, I can't fly like you, but if you teach me, I can probably sing like you..."

"You used to be that ambitious."

I'm willing to start at the bottom and work my way up to your job..

"Two roads diverged in a wood and I... I... I..."

"I'm running away to join the W.N.B.A."

"It's not that I'm lazy. But I envisage myself not so much climbing the corporate ladder, as taking the corporate elevator."

Wall Street has a one way arrow upwards.

"You'll find I'm highly motivated and ambitious...oh, is this your desk?"

"He's a psychopath with megalomanic tendencies...I like that in a candidate!"

Teen's Comet

"It's a long term goal."

"Look at her...Gracie is intelligent, optimistic, ambitious..I wish she was one more thing."

'In five year's time?... I see myself on that side of the desk telling you it's a great shame, thanks for all your hard work, but I'm going to have to let you go!'

What is possible/what is probable.

"I worked my way up from a goddamn steamboat - I am the American Dream."

"If we had invented the phone and computer, we would be at the top of the food chain. What a blown opportunity."

'Shouldn't you be somewhere clawing yourself to the top, or something?'

"Shape up, son! You want to be a dung beetle the rest of your life?"
