"We've decided to build a little cubicle around you and your desk, Harris."

'This is the questionnaire we need everyone to fill out about their views on excessive bureaucracy.'

"Of course if you weren't PREPARED to do any unpaid OVERTIME to HELP the company then of course your lack of MOTIVATION and AMBITION wouldn't affect your career prospects...That wouldn't be fair of us WOULD IT?"

'I was just ringing to see if you'd got the email about my letter.'

'Sometimes I think this is the best part of my day.'

TUBE-icles.

'Woodruff, find out everything you can on a crazy thing called 'love'.'
