"Before I read the financial report I have to ask... do any of you have a weapon?"

"They might tell you that starting out down here is standard procedure, but it isn't."

'Hmm. . . no criminal record. I'm concerned you lack commitment.'

"I need to recover from working from home with the family around me 24 hours a day. . . that's why I'm living here in the office for a while."

'What's job security like around here? Well, I wouldn't bother taking off my hat or coat.'

'Careful. You still have that new-employee smell.'
