Quotes

• [Lisa feeds some of her food to Dave]

Catherine: If that's what it takes to get a new desk, I don't even want one.

• Mr. James: You're letting your people push you around and make you second guess your decisions.

Dave: Of course you're right.

Mr. James: And now you're letting me do it. You want my advice?

Dave: Yes.

Mr. James: Well I'm not going to give it to you.

• Dave: I walked straight into his office and sat down and said I would not leave until he gave us full access to the tunnel.

Beth: And at what point did the security guards show up?

Dave: About two minutes later.

• Bill: (to Dave) I'm sorry about all that stuff I've been saying behind your back today.
