Jeremy Usborne : Because it's hot! I mean, even a dried-up, desiccated old Bran Flake on toast like you should be able to see that.

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.

Jeremy Usborne : How's it going with Consultiarium?
Mark Corrigan : Brilliant. Great. One good thing is I'm worrying quite a lot of the time whether Johnson isn't totally losing his nut.
Jeremy Usborne : Really?
Mark Corrigan : Yeah. I look at him sometimes now and think, you know, has Daddy's hat fallen off?
Jeremy Usborne : Daddy's hat?
Mark Corrigan : Yes, has daddy's hat fallen off and he's just standing there naked?

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.
