Jenkins, as you might have heard, asked for a raise.

"So you've been here three years. Just what is your name? I need it for the downsizing list."

"You can do whatever you want to on your own time, but if we find out about any of it, you're fired."

"After this I'll just need you to remove the watermark from your soul."

"Forget five-year plans. Let's just figure out how to make it to lunch."

"And need I remind you, the 'art of the deal' is the lifeblood of this company."

"The boss is charging. I knew you shouldn't have worn that red tie."

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

"Motivational seminars are too expensive. Just buy stronger coffee."

'Something tells me this is going to be a long meeting.'
