'No, I mean Mr lang can see you now.'

"Can I savor this for a few moments? The ball's never been in my court before!"

Brian wanted to call the presentation "Synergy". Paula wanted to call it "Cooperation". They could never agree.

"I believe we've found the weakest link."

"It's Swamp & Swallow - they're making an offer we can't refuse!"

"That's Hicks from the corporate office. He's adorable, but trust me—when it comes to acquisitions, he's an animal!"

Takeovers.

"It's Dr. Sadie. Go ahead, caller." "Yeah, how come you haven't said 'Merry Christmas' yet?" "Oh, that’s because I was hoping to provoke everyone who’s upset about the so-called 'war on Christmas' to spend all their time on hold waiting to castigate me. That way, all the normal people who don’t think Christmas is just another chance to play the victim can open their gifts in peace." "You're welcome, America." "Why haven't you played 'Jingle Bells' yet?"

"Well I didn't see the incident myself.."

'Competition is good...unless it's too good.'

Carrot VS Stick

'I want a win-win situation where both wins are ours.'

'Jones, somewhere out there, we've lost our common sense. I want you to go and bring it back.'

'Larry, you have everything it takes to go far in this company, but a word of advice: lose the laugh.'

'Let's get with it, Miss Ogden -- Spread some papers around on my desk!'

"I was able to negotiate it from a hostile takeover to an uneasy alliance."

"I now realize that my 'show no mercy' campaign for the corner office was a big mistake."

'Remember, Henderson - Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and you've sacrificed your leverage.'

ISIS needle in a haystack.

"It's a dog-eat-dog economy. And I'm the Doberman."

'let's see if we can find any loopholes in this 'honesty-is-the-best-policy' nonsense.'

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

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

"The answer isn't more troops—what you need is an antibiotic."

"Clearly, this pair were up to something. . ."

'Thank you colonel we'll keep your strategy in mind.'

'Oi, do you mind, trying to speak to my colleague - two self service tills having a chat together.'

"It has come to my attention that there's a traitor in our midst."

Thanks to compromise they were moving closer.
