• Johnson : Here's my pitch: new management consultancy, you and me. I'm the face, you're the, uh, tendons and the grisly shit under the surface. Whaddaya say?

  Mark Corrigan : Oh my God... I don't know. Really?

  Johnson : Look at you! You're like the fat girl who's just been asked to the school disco.

  Mark Corrigan : Well, yeah... my only hesitation is that I don't have any actual experience of management consulting...

  [Johnson shuts Mark's lips with his fingers] 

  Johnson : In, fire 30% of the workforce, new logo, boom! Out. You are now a fully trained management consultant.

• Johnson : Don't thank me, thank the Microsoft Office family - PowerPoint, Excel and Word, the Three Amigos.

• Johnson : Relax, Mark. You've seen this from the Sales Direct guys?

  [he hands Mark a letter] 

  Johnson : They say they look foward to hearing from us in the future. They "look foward to it". Now, what about that doesn't spell to you serious interest?

  Mark Corrigan : Right.

  [voiceover] 

  Mark Corrigan : Just keep nodding and smiling. Nodding and smiling like Colonel Gaddafi's psychoanalyst.
