Contract Negotiation Aficionado Pillows

The Free Agent: 'No reasonable offer refused.'

'I'll make my final decision on that promotion of yours, after this game.'

"Then we have an unspoken agreement?"

"That's Paul, he's our head of partnerships..."

Tug of Negotiation and Conciliation.

'Pick a contract...any contract!'

"Nice work on that German contract. You've made your mark, Ashworth."

'Miss Finch, find out what she does over there and offer her twice as much to do it over here.'

'Maybe you should reconsider those place cards, Ms Harris?' (Negotiation talks/Good Guys/Bad Guys)

"Let me get this, but keep in mind that you'll pay for it in other, more subtle ways later on."

"So do I take it that's a 'NO' to the pay rise?"

"Finally we have something in common...mutual distrust."

"I always cry at mergers."

'He followed me home, Mom. Can I sign him to a five-year, $80-million contract?..'

Goodenow & Bettman: We have a deal Bob! But do we have any fans left?

'I have enough confidence in our project to put our money where our lawyer's mouth is.'

"Before we begin, we'd like to remind you that we're an employee owned company."

"Sign our updated non-compete agreement. It now includes nasty comments on social media."

...and if the Chairman rings, find out who he is.

Sure, I'll sit, but I want half the treat upfront.

"Let's say an immediate $10.00 allowance increase plus an annual 8% cost of living raise and I'll call him off."

"A handshake is as good as a thirty-page contract, eh, Mr. Harrison?"

"Just to get the negotiations off on the right foot, I don't intent to concede anything."

"Your interest in the salary makes me wonder how 'self-motivated' you really are."

'No hostile takeover bids beyond this point.'

"Before we start our wages negotiation talks, the lads would like to congratulate the chairman on his 83% salary increase."

'My final offer.'

'Sir, for Heavens' sake, stop screaming! It's just Mr Winkleberger asking for a raise!'

"What're you doing? Your contract forbids you from watching 'cute baby video' on YouTube."

Cat to second cat: 'I need you to sign a pre-nap.'

After the latest pay bonus and benefit awards you've won, I've decided to join you on the shop floor.

"The union is objecting to our 'grotesquely inflated' wages, do you think they'd settle for 'outrageously inflated' instead?"

"Marriage, mortal combat. Tomato, tomahto."

'If negotiations sour, throw a handful in his eyes.'

"You gave me the wrong drink. I demand a total refund!!" "OK. Where's the drink?" "What do you mean? I drank it. It wasn't till I was done that I realized it was the wrong drink. The right drink leaves a different aftertaste." "You can't finish the drink and then ask for a refund. That's not how it works." "You didn't tell me that before I paid for the wrong drink. So that's on you." "That's not how it works!"
