  • Sam: Sir! Maybe you can find a way to accommodate both your needs.
    Blake: Pearson! You’re way out of line!
    Sam: Yah...Yes Sir.
    Blake: I think you should worry about your job and let me worry about mine.
    Al: Which is being a grouch!
    Blake: What did you say? Well … (Blake steps backwards and faces Al, who is speechless.)
    Calloway: Who are you talking to Sir?
    Blake: I’m talking to this jerk! Right here! (Al has punched the hand link to disappear) Well...where did he go?
    Sam: (Looking around) Who?
    Blake: Never mind Pearson! edit »

    Sam: Al. Al, you're a genius.
    Al: I am.
    Sam: Yes, you are.
    Al: I am?
    Sam: Absolutely. Michael is Scrooge, right? He's alone, he's miserable. It's like, uh, Charles, um...
    Al: Dickens.

    Al: So?
    Sam: So, we Scrooge him. edit »
