Lincoln elementary school

"But my real dream is gettin' paid lotsa money for doin' nothin'."

'Come here right now! Dogs can't fly.'

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

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.'

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

'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.'

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

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

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

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

'I've had a few short stories published, but I'd really like to write 'the Great American How to Write a Novel.''

"You used to be that ambitious."

Teen's Comet

'Oh no...I'm living the dream.'

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

Wall Street has a one way arrow upwards.

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

"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!"

Rainbow/Horizon

"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.

'It saves me the trouble of constantly asking myself 'What's my motivation?''

". . . and they lived happily ever after. . . in an aspirational sort of way."

Desk at the Horizon

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

'You'll have to decide - do you want to be top management in a small pond, or bottom management in a big pond?'
