"Well it looks like we're all here."

"It's a little eccentricity of mine—after I've beaten a man in business, I like to have him stuffed."

'If I had to use one word to describe our strategy.'

"I'm going to bombard you with graphs until you agree with me."

'You forget, I'm a blackbelt in powerpoint.'

"Forget five-year plans. Let's just figure out how to make it to lunch."

"I was hoping this presentation would be more interesting upside down."

"In recognition of last month's little upward blip, I suggest we allow ourselves a spontaneous victory fist bump."

'I'm moving up to be Chairperson-of-the-board. One of you will be President.' (Men have fencing swords).

"We've had a major development this year that I'm excited to share with the employees."

"That's Hicks from the corporate office. He's adorable, but trust me—when it comes to acquisitions, he's an animal!"

"That's unanimous then - we don't know what to do."

'I'm part of the decision-making process... I'm the 'No' part.'

"Oh good, you brought Robert's rules of order."

"At least we are consistently inconsistent."
