"I'm telling you, she's the best in her field."

"Simplified application form? . . . This IS the simplified application form!"

'You're developing a reputation as something of a cowboy, Henderson.'

"Fine - you don't want to run in the corporate 5K - I get it. What about the corporate cage fighting team?"

"The holidays are finished George, get over it!"

'I can't figure out whether I'm a secretary or an executive - I do executive work, but get secretarial pay.'

'And I see that Derek continues to ignore our company's dress code...'

'We've got trouble, Henderson - Your people got with my people and decided they didn't need us.'

"What're you doing? Your contract forbids you from watching 'cute baby video' on YouTube."
