Leslie would regret bringing her cat to the pet store.

"And need I remind you, the 'art of the deal' is the lifeblood of this company."

"Tariffs love me...tariffs love me not..."

'I'll make my final decision on that promotion of yours, after this game.'

'It's a deal, lets sniff bottoms!'

"Then we have an unspoken agreement?"

'You think I'm crazy; I think you're crazy...finally some common ground!'

'Try and be negative in a positive way.'

Tug of Negotiation and Conciliation.

'Pick a contract...any contract!'

'Negotiations have reached an impasse, legal recommends we resort to violence.'

Changing Minds

'Miss Finch, find out what she does over there and offer her twice as much to do it over here.'

'Maybe you should reconsider those place cards, Ms Harris?' (Negotiation talks/Good Guys/Bad Guys)

"Let me get this, but keep in mind that you'll pay for it in other, more subtle ways later on."

"Already sold your soul to the company? Listen, I'll have my people talk to their people."

"Have your people call my people."

"So do I take it that's a 'NO' to the pay rise?"

"Finally we have something in common...mutual distrust."

"Then he slammed the door on me!" "Not the closing you were hoping for."

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 when the extended warranty kicks in, we send you a big can of new car smell."

'Credit being what it is, I'm sure you won't mind if we see your 200,000 cattle first...'

"Let's say an immediate $10.00 allowance increase plus an annual 8% cost of living raise and I'll call him off."

"Before we begin, we'd like to remind you that we're an employee owned company."

"And keep in mind that the only stupid question is the one that isn't asked. Discussion?"

We pay the maximum minimum wage.

"Just to get the negotiations off on the right foot, I don't intent to concede anything."

"Your interest in the salary makes me wonder how 'self-motivated' you really are."

"Before we start our wages negotiation talks, the lads would like to congratulate the chairman on his 83% salary increase."

"I'm glad to see we're all on the same page, but let's try not to tear it."

'My final offer.'

A successful meeting! Only one member left in a rage shouting obcenities.

'If negotiations sour, throw a handful in his eyes.'
