"Looks like we found the issue."

"You've got your corner office, so what more do you want?"

"Here's what I'm gonna do."

'You could be a constant inspiration for us to come up with a plan to get a leg up on our competition...you're hired!'

"Yeah, but that one's a little bit hard to reach."

'That's our mission statement.'

'When we get there let me do the double talking.'

"If a stock falls in the market, and it had no investors, does it really lose its value?"

Profit

'Which 'win' is ours? Because the one on the left looks bigger.'

"I'm expert at sniffing out blame."

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