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."

'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."

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