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

'Following your 'barbecue summer' forecast, I'm revising predictions of your contract being reviewed.'

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

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

"Perfect! Since our company's motto is 'transparency,' make the contract's fine print light gray against white."

"You misread the terms of your employment. Your probation period is 6 years, not 6 months."

'Of course you're overworked and underpaid! Didn't you read the fine print in your employee's contract?'

'But how could me speaking at the Secret New Products Seminar break our Confidentiality Agreement?'

'So, what are the terms of use?'

"And despite recent insinuations, this loan contract being signed by my client is perfectly legitimate."

'Hang on!...You don't expect me to swallow that as well!'

'Of course you're overworked and underpaid! Didn't you read the fine print in your employee's contract?'

Boss talking to lawyer, 'These new Terms and Conditions you've drafted for us are extremely long and overly complex - our customers are never going to be able to understand them. Well done Jones!'

"No this is your contract. The other one's your bill

'I reject the terms of the contract!'

"Your medical insurance doesn't cover 'Acts of God' like illness"

"Damned if they do and damned if they don't? This is BRILLIANT work, everybody! Why didn't we think of this before?"

'Of course being on short term contract, I don't enjoy the same benefits as the rest of you.'

Lawyer to lady: 'Since I specialize in eye injuries, I've eliminated all the fine print.'

'And best of all - no hidden clauses!'

The new contract will give you much more power over your future...so here are some guidelines as to how you'll be allowed to use it!'

'Doctor, you're on the edge of violating your non-compete.'

"No, no. The contract I signed was of the non-binding kind."

"Of course under the new contract 24 hour cover will be optional, you could also opt to do 36 or 48 hours a day!"

"OK, let's go to contract."

"Excuse me, One has not actually signed the agreement yet!"

"This franchise deal looks great! But I can't see the fine print."

"Usually, I give a free estimate, but for lawyers, I charge a consultation fee."

A. Einstein. E = MC2. Yes, I do space-time research, but that doesn't mean I know how to get you out of your timeshare contract.

'Can I interest you in insuring against your insurance not paying out?'

'I don't care how much you interfaced, interacted, coordinated, arranged, or organized in the past. Just tell me how many prenups you've worked on.'

'According to this pre-nup, if I marry you I have to wait 24 months to upgrade.'

'The contract is very clear. You're free to go once the project's completed.'
