'I'm sure that one wasn't there last week.'

"Marshall, somewhere out there, just waiting for us, is a loophole in the system."

'We've set the bar quite high at this company. It helps us control bonuses.'

'Whoever said 'The only thing we have to fear is fear itself' never had a room full of angry shareholders.'

"Hoskins, try saying 'profits are up' without the finger quotes, okay?"

"On the plus side, I finally have a key to the executive washroom."

'We divested ourselves of a division here, a subsidiary there, a branch here, an affiliate there...there's nothing left!'

"We're having one heck of a time building that trapezoidal thing of yours..."

'We're living in a round hole economy.'

'It appears the 'What?'s have it.'
