Quotes 

• Richard Hendricks : You know, this Patakian guy is definitely on some end of some spectrum, but he is a full-stack engineer. I mean, I'm sold. Jared, what do you think?

  Donald 'Jared' Dunn : Well, he's qualified and he definitely seemed interested. It's a programmer's market right now. I think if we like him, we should pursue him aggressively. My only concern here, and it's a small one, um, he's also named Jared. Will it be confusing with two Jareds? If we hire him, I can always go back to my real name Donald.

  Bertram Gilfoyle : No, that's too big a hassle. We'll just go with "Other Jared".

  Dinesh Chugtai : OJ, for short.

  Donald 'Jared' Dunn : I know a name is just a sound somebody makes when they need you, but shouldn't this much-newer Jared be "other Jared"?

  Bertram Gilfoyle : You should be flattered. OJ Simpson is one of the most recognizable people on the face of the planet.

• Jared : There's a distinct over-representation of men in this company. Look around. I think it would behoove us to prioritize hiring a woman.

  Gilfoyle : I disagree, OJ. We should hire the best person for the job, period.

  Dinesh : And Carla is one of the best.

  Jared : Right, let me rephrase: I think having a woman in the company is important but hiring someone only because they're a woman is bad. I would never compromise Pied Piper.

  Richard : Okay, just to be clear, our top priority is to hire the most qualified person available, right?

  Jared : Of course.

  Dinesh : But would be better if that someone was a woman even though the "woman" part of that statement is irrelevant?

  Jared : Exactly. It's like we're the Beatles and now we just need Yoko.

  Dinesh : That's the worst example you could have used.
