:39:02
we can easily lose.
:39:04
Then there's Tom Smykowski.
:39:08
He's useless.
:39:09
Gone.
:39:11
DOM: Sounds good to me.
:39:12
SLYDELL: Here's a peculiar...
:39:15
-Uh, Milton Waddams.
-Who's he?
:39:17
PORTER: You know, squirrelly
looking guy. Mumbles a lot.
:39:19
DOM: Oh, yeah.
:39:20
SLYDELL: We--we can't actually
find a record...
:39:22
of him being
a current employee here.
:39:24
PORTER: I looked into it
more deeply...
:39:26
and I found that
apparently what happened...
:39:28
is that he was laid off
five years ago...
:39:31
and no one ever
told him about it...
:39:32
but through some kind of glitch
in the payroll department...
:39:35
he still gets a paycheck.
:39:36
So we just went ahead
and fixed the glitch.
:39:39
BILL: Great.
:39:40
DOM:
So, uh, Milton has been let go?
:39:43
SLYDELL: Just a second there,
professor.
:39:44
We, uh, we fixed the glitch.
:39:48
So he won't be receiving
a paycheck anymore.
:39:50
So it'll just work itself out
naturally.
:39:53
PORTER: We always like to avoid
confrontation whenever possible.
:39:56
The problem is solved
from your end.
:39:57
[Laughter]
:39:58
SLYDELL: I'd like to move us
right along to a Peter Gibbons.
:40:02
Now, we had a chance
to meet this young man...
:40:04
and, boy, that's just
a straight shooter...
:40:07
with upper management
written all over him.
:40:09
Eech. Ooh.
:40:11
Yeah. Um...
:40:15
I'm going to have to go ahead...
:40:16
and sort of disagree
with you there.
:40:18
Yeah, uh, he's been
real flaky lately...
:40:21
and I'm just not sure
that he's the caliber person...
:40:25
that we would want
for upper management.
:40:27
He's also been having
some problems...
:40:30
with his T.P.S. reports.
:40:33
PORTER: I'll handle this.
:40:35
We feel...
:40:38
that the problem
isn't with Peter.
:40:40
SLYDELL: Mm-mmm.
:40:42
PORTER: It's that you haven't
challenged him enough...
:40:44
to get him really motivated.
:40:45
SLYDELL: There it is.
:40:48
Yeah...Ah, well...
:40:50
I'm just not sure about that
right now.
:40:53
SLYDELL: Yeah, Bill, let me ask
you a real quick question here.
:40:55
How much time would you say
you spend each week...
:40:59
dealing with
these T.P.S. reports?
