"The boss said this meeting's about taking us back to our origins!"

"Remember the golden rule: more buzzwords, less real words."

'And were there a point to your proposal, Henderson - What would it be?'

'Williams, we're not used to receiving such excellent ideas as these, so we'd like to tone them down a bit.'

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

"I'm afraid 'It's a surprise', doesn't cut it as a growth strategy."

'Finally! A meeting with one of the bigwigs.'

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

'Whoever said 'The only thing we have to fear is fear itself' never had a room full of angry shareholders.'

"Why can't the rest of you be more like Rollins, here? He does his homework!"

"If I might be serious for a moment..."

"You've proven your worth a hundred times over. Let's try for a thousand."

What can I do? He says it's his thinking cap.

'How can we solve this problem by eating?'

'I'm sorry, but everyone is in a meeting.'

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

"I'll wait a moment for everyone's energy drink to kick in."

"Dammit, Johnson. You've got to start thinking outside of the box."

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

'Hey, look, I can stand up and shout, too!'

'The sunglasses idea would have worked if you hadn't started snoring.'

"Remember...when the going gets tough...DELEGATE!"

"The new chairman has dropped the brain-storming meetings."

'Try and be negative in a positive way.'

"My report to the board was perfect. They did not understand a word of it and now think I'm smarter than them."

"A dozen eggs and a pint of semi-skimmed...Sorry, looks like I left my presentation in my other coat."
