Jerry Vogel: San Francisco Manager

Quotes 

• San Francisco Manager : [interviewing Natalie for a job]  So, what happened?

  Natalie Keener : How exactly do you mean?

  San Francisco Manager : You graduated top of your class. You could have had your pick of employment, including right here. Instead, you went to Omaha to... fire people for a living?

  Natalie Keener : Challenging work.

  San Francisco Manager : I'll say. I couldn't imagine doing that day in and day out. Not in this climate.

  Natalie Keener : I... followed a boy.

  San Francisco Manager : I guess we've all done that at some point in our lives.

  [the manager pauses and picks up a letter from his desk, showing it to Natalie] 

  San Francisco Manager : This guy says I'd be lucky to have you.

  Ryan Bingham : [voiceover, reading the letter]  To whom it may concern: I can't begin to count the number of people I've fired in my lifetime. So many that I've forgotten what it's like to actually hire someone. We've never met, but I know you'd be lucky to have Natalie Keener. My advice? Take her and don't look back. She'll be the best decision you've made in a long time.

  San Francisco Manager : [holding his hand out]  I sure hope he's right.

  [Natalie springs to her feet and shakes hands, gathering her composure and trying not to smile too broadly]
