"I wasn't talking in my sleep. I was negotiating."

'When we get there let me do the double talking.'

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

'We're making progress. I just got a firm 'maybe'.'

Do you want to win the game or my business?

"I do. Have your people contact my people to hammer out the details."

"Anyway, we'd love to have You on board for the Creighton deal."

'First, the Rules of Engagement for this meeting ...'

It's a deal. You give me five analysts, three pundits, seven technicians and a soothsayer. I give you six experts, five professors, four consultants and a prognosticator.

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

'No hostile takeover bids beyond this point.'

'Forget my mortgage application, fill this bag with money. I've decided to make a cash offer!'

'Why don't we try a renegotiated buyout offer before we go with the Plague of Rabid Bats thing.'

'The trick is to be gentle yet firm in negotiations. I prefer soft money and hard liquor.'

"Remember, negotiating is like buying fruit. You don't know what you'll get until you squeeze 'em a bit."

"I came, I saw I takeovered."

"Don't anybody move: this is a merger."

'Sorry for interrupting. I didn't realize you were still trying to hammer out an agreement.'

'So, anyone have any idea how we go about explaining how we made a hostile takeover bid for one of our own subsidiaries?'

'I think you should know I'm listening to offers from other Santas.'

"Instead of BOGOFS, I'm going to implement FUCOFS."

'Make it seven beans and you got yourself a deal.'

"Have I (hic) godda deal for you."

"The usual day. We took over somebody, then somebody took us over."

Hostile take-over.

"Perhaps we can arrive a a mutually beneficial arrangement?"

'Lots of give and take in that negotiation...they took and we gave.'

I thought you wanted me to sell your car.

'Don't bother with dinner, dear. I just gobbled up two corporations and ate my secretary alive.'

'I didn't know he was also into corporate mergers!'

"Beans! I got a bag of magic beans!"
