'I'm saving some for leftovers tomorrow.'

'Don't think of it as leftovers -- think of it as a mopping-up operation.'

'But, Mom. Think of all the leftovers he can thankfully eliminate.'

"Best idea for a name I've had for years!"

"Yeah, but that one's a little bit hard to reach."

A fight in the Boardroom.

"'Quid pro quo' is a no-no, Bradbury. Around here we say 'reciprocal altruism'."

'Ah, Galagher, we made good use of your proposal.'

"...but the big question is, does the competition know that we don't know what we don't know?"

After a day long meeting, the decision, as usual, is made in the hallway.

"Peterson proposes we move out of the mountains."

'Our problem is how to lower quality while raising prices...'

Target your customer.

'Lining my pockets with aluminum foil so I can sneak Thanksgiving leftovers home.'

'Tomorrow's special is fish, so wear the flounder suit.'

"Now I'll demonstrate how, with a minimum of capital investment, you can make a mountain out of a molehill!"

'What are we, wimps? Are we gonna let a bunch of rabbits push us all over the field? Come on, big guys.'

'What kind of a mission statement is that?'

'We took the old plan, folded in half, and now it's the new plan.'

"It's not bulls**t if we call it strategy."

Business Target

"Or we could raise your profile by coming out with that pimple on the end of your nose."

Game changing

'Don't look now, but I think we're being followed.'

'We're well positioned, but we lack leadership.'

"When it comes to online marketing, I'm puzzled."

'And this will be our strategic plan for the coming year.'

'You should agree with me, but not all the time, Try mixing it up a little,'

'I have no one to blame but myself, for now.'

'Good news from the field, sire! Attila did not like the referee's call, so he's folding up his tents, taking his ball and going home!'

"My favorite tea: hot daffodil-infused chamomile with a hint of whiskey. Are you serious? Of course I'm serious! I've been dosing myself with small quantities of poisonous daffodil ever since 1931. You have to build up an immunity if you want to survive in the cutthroat world of Scrabble tournaments."

'Alternatively you can just focus on the CUSTOMER!'

Thinking both inside and outside the box.

'With 5% spent on talent, 5% on production, and 90% on marketing...I smell WINNER!'
