we are men without homes we were meant
to wander prior to their escapades as
real-life heroes they had been working
in Hollywood as the titular amigos on
the small screen a box-office failure

goddamn customers so the engineers don’t
have to when external hatchet men the

his office people person tom is asked to
give a rundown of his job
responsibilities to prove he’s not
redundant I have people skills I am good

last week right after he found out he
was getting laid off he goes home and

happen within 20 minutes under his watch
ace gives him a vicious verbal assault
that culminates in Ward’s dismissal I
had it with you often carrying your ass
to this place ever since I got it it’s
an embarrassing way to go but when
you’re dealing with millions of dollars

grateful that he made it out alive this
is not the way to treat people listen if
you didn’t know you’d be a scam you too
dumb to keep this job if you did know
you were in on either way you’re out get
out go on let’s go number three Steve up

a specific set of social and
interpersonal skills that can take years
to develop
well anybody who ever built an empire or
change the world said where you are
right now and it’s because they said
there they were able to do it in one
such layoff meeting Ryan Bingham is
meeting with Steve played by Zach
Galifianakis I need your key card while
Steve doesn’t take the news of his
