{{quote|'''Bartleby''': (to the board of "Mooby") You are responsible for raising an icon which draws worship from the Lord. You have broken the first commandment. Not only that, I'm afraid - not a one of you passes for a decent human being. [[Karma Houdini|Your continued existence is a mockery of morality.]] Like you, Mr. Burton. Last year, you cheated on your wife of seventeen years eight times. You even had sex with her best friend while you were supposed to be home ''watching the kids.''<br />
'''Loki''': (giving him two thumbs up) In the bed that you and your wife share, no less.<br />
'''Bartleby''': Mr. Newman - you got your girlfriend drunk at last year's Christmas party and then paid a kid from the mail room to have sex with her while she was passed out, just so you could break up with her guilt-free when she sobbingly confessed in the morning. ...<small>She, uh, killed herself two months later.</small><br />
''Mr. Braaaace disowned his gay son!'' Very compassionate, Mr. Brace!<br />
Mr. Ray put his mother in a third-rate nursing home and then used the profits from the sale of her home...to buy an oriental rug for himself. Heavens.<br />
Mr. Barker flew to Thailand on the company account to have sex with an ''eleven''-[[Punctuated! For! Emphasis!|year-old]]-'''BOY!'''<br />
Mr. Holtzman okay-ed the production of Mooby Dolls from materials he ''knew'' to be toxic and unsafe, because it was, [[Family Feud|SURVEY SAYS...]] less costly.<br />
(He approaches Ms. Price, [[Women Are Wiser|the only woman on the board]])<br />
'''Bartleby''': You, on the other hand, are an innocent. You lead a good life. [[Pet the Dog|Good for you]]. But ''you'', [[The Man|Mr. Whitland]], you have more skeletons in your closet than the rest of this assembled party. [[Take Our Word for It|I cannot even mention them aloud.]] (whispers in his ear)<br />
'''Loki''': ''[[Noodle Incident|You're his father, you sick fuck.]]'' (Whitland breaks down crying)|''[[Dogma]]''}}

From the deeply revered days of old
When living was gentle and gracious
And working folk did as they're told. }}

When a feller could live like a king;
And children were working in coal mines
And life was a beautiful thing. }}

Things aren't what they were anymore;
And although I'm in no way complaining,
By Harris and Tweed, I preferred it before."|[[The Roar Of The Greasepaint The Smell Of The Crowd]]}}
