* [[Big "Shut Up!"]]
* [[Beleaguered Assistant]]: But of course.
** Buddy (Holding up schedule): ''You see this? This means more to the office than you. And yet, do I hear any complaints when I do THIS!?'' *throws scedule at Guy* ''These pencils, more important! These pens, more important! These paper clips, more important! You miserable little crybaby! You don't like it here, leave! There are thousands of people who would kill for your spot, who would kill for the opportunity to be here! I could spit and hit somebody who could do this job better than you!

Way it goes! {{spoiler|Your wife gets raped and shot... And they leave their unfinished beers... Their, their stinkin' longnecks... Just lying there on the gr-... So be it. Way it goes.}}''

Line 41:
