1. Mr. Chairman, our market share is declining and margins are slipping.

1. Members of the Board, Dynetron's Executive Commitee has refused our tender offer.

1. Umm, says here: "'Say yes, or we mount a global PR campaign to brand you as smelly cowards.' is not negotiation."

1. Bob, we have serious QA issues with the line. You promised you had it fixed.
2. No, Frank. I have serious issues with you. Why do you hate the Chairman?

1. Sir, we lost another Plant Manager in Iowa.
2. Why do you hate the company, Smithers?

1. Mary, I don't think the cheaper coffee service is going over well.
