Boss (Right): It's never been done... so it's not a good idea. Subordinate (Left): Because it's never been done... we've got to try it, right?
Boss (Right): Seems you're always taking the side of your underlings! Subordinate (Left): You have to run everything by your boss, don't you?

Boss (Right): (At a pub) So It's gotta start the party off with beer, right? Subordinate (Left): (At a pub) Hmm, I'll have an oolong tea, and then the combo meal.

Subordinate (Left): I never understand what the department manager's talking about. Is he just old-fashioned, or maybe he's going senile? You know what I'm talking about, right? So if you cloud be the one to talk to him, sir... (Fade out)
