"To be honest, sales have been quite disappointing."

Larry's used art

'I vote we hang the darn thing upside down and go home!'

"Now that I have everyone's attention..."

Gerald Ratner's return

Good morning, Boss. What're you going to do about it, Park? Are you just going to complain, or are you going to come up with an actionable plan. Complainers never do, Park, and doers never complain. I wasn't actually complaining. Our patrons buy 65% less cocoa on sunny days.

"Post holiday sales look similar to the crater that killed the dinosaurs."

Golden parachutes inc. - 'Our pleas for bail-out funds were ignored.'

'Now think, Harris, what did you do different on that day?'

What's your contingency plan, Randy? My what? If a calamity of biblical proportions were to strike here in Canardville, would you flee across the bridge to Candorville? Or would you search in vain for a fallout-resistant bunker, before surrendering to the cruel inevitability of your demise? I ask just for the sake of discussion. No reason to panic. Totally unrelated: I just found out someone who's definitely not me is selling fallout bunkers at buy-this-now-if-you-want-to-live.com. Very bad man.

"At bonus time, just don't forget where you get your intellectual property."

'Well Miss Hayward, your suggestion of trying Feng Shui didn't work.'

Entertainment systems

"Today we welcome back an old friend."

'If you don't pay us, I'll tell all your creditors you have.'

"That's a new side effect of our mission to keep things together."

'Rabner is tops in customer retention.'

"Okay, let me come at this question a different way: Does anybody here actually know how to sell anything?"

Sinking sales

Phone solicitors like customers who are afraid to hang up.

"I suppose that's what happens when 'putting customers first' comes second!"
