Fred wonders if he should go see what's happening in accounting.

'Not bad, Ms. Newborn. But take another crack at it, and this time remember that 'earnings-per-share' is the alter upon which all other numbers are sacrificed.'

"Personally, I'd like to hire you, Mike, but the company has some serious concerns about your core competencies!"
