"Shall we start with an icebreaker?"

'Come on, come on, let's work together!'

'Something tells me this is going to be a long meeting.'

"For cryin' out loud, Frank, we don't have all day! Cut to the cheese!"

"Well, let's quickly put Ken's incredibly incendiary remarks behind us and hopefully continue the discussion in a simmering rage."

"Of course I have a life. Not one worth living, mind you."
