"Oh, I love the perks and the power, but, on the other hand, it is an internship."

"I hope you realize you have access to someone with tremendous power."

'I'll have to let you go, Bob - Ted, from accounting, is challenging my position as alpha male!'

'Well, you wanted a bigger job.'

Ms. Davis Senior Partner - Formerly: Hey You.

"You can't expect to get anywhere in business without making an enemy or two, Filmeyer."

"It's J.B.'s new junior executive promotion policy. . . whoever survives gets the promotion!"

"It would help if you brown-nosed a little more."

"Yes, I'm sure you do deserve further career advancement. But if I promote you again you'll have my job!"

After taking the job Dale got the feeling he was going to be stuck in his new position for sometime.

'C'mon, no need to be so formal. You don't have to call me 'Sir' or 'Boss', you can just call me 'God', 'Master', or 'Your Highness'.'

'I like your look, Philbin. I'm moving you from middle, anger management to upper, anger management.'

'I'm looking for someone to keep the blood off my hands.'

'When I reach the top, Henderson, I won't forget all the little people I climbed over to get there.'

'There are no little jobs. Just little desks.'

"Sorry but your colleague Mr Abbot gets the promotion. He tries harder."

"Well, ordinary men have colleagues. Successful men have victims."

"I don't care if you are the Immediate Gratification Generation. Get out of my chair and back to the mailroom."

"I hate performance review season."

My brilliant career

Presentation: Thinking each other are idiots.

Like many of those in tribicles, Mitch dreamed of one day moving up to the real deal.

"No, I'm not really a CEO. I just like to keep up with the Joneses."

'You lack the expertise we're looking for, Mr Wheaton - but darn it, I like your attitude.'

"Gosh, I can't believe it's been over 25 years since our company was dragged, kicking and screaming, into the digital age!"

Not a surprise, coming from the new boss - who looks about 6 years old.

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

"Call my broker, fax my accountant, and get my groove back."

'I'm a bit pressed for time. Give me your one-minute elevator pitch.'
