Mozart and the Whale - Career Choices and Missed Opportunities

After everything she told me, and checking on your excellent record in college, I'm wondering why you choose to drive a taxi for a living.
Donald Morton:
At my interview with IBM after I graduated college, they asked me what my plans were, and I said, "Probably go to McDonalds for a 12-piece McNugget and two cheeseburgers, and then do my laundry.
Wallace:
Did they laugh, at least?
Donald Morton:
They smiled and said they'd call me. They didn't.

Look, Sy, I got a family. I'm not losing my job over this. I'm letting you go.
Sy Parrish: [In a very upset state of mind]
No!!! Ohhh...
Bill Owens:
These log discrepancies would be enough, but you've been spacing out on the job, taking 90-minute lunch breaks, creating scenes in front of the customers... giving away free merchandise.
Sy Parrish:
What?
Bill Owens:
Free disposable cameras to customers on their birthday? That must have been your bright idea. Sure as shit isn't company policy.
Sy Parrish:
You can't do this.
Bill Owens:
It's done, Sy. I talked to Sims at district. Now you finish out the week and clear out your locker. And if you do something like fuck up today's prints...
Sy Parrish: [In a stern voice]
I haven't fucked up a customer's prints in 11 years!

Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! - Conflicting Choices and Unexpected Consequences
Richard Levy: [showing Tad a tabloid cover story]
Congratulations. You're actually drinking, driving, smoking, leering and groping at the same time. Which on one hand, is just about the coolest thing ever...but on the other hand, maybe isn't so great for the image.
Cathy Feely: [to Tad]
And at which point, Tad. If you are going back to the airport, I will ride with you, and by the Route 73 cloverleaf, I will have given myself to you in ways you've only read about in the drugstore!
Henry Futch:
Sometimes Goliath kicks the shit out of David. It's just nobody bothers to tell that story.

White House Chief of Staff Harry Sargent:
The president came off looking like a coward on national television.
Frank Horrigan:
I thought he came off all right. You're the one that came off looking like a damn coward.
Sargent:
This is a just a joke to you?
Horrigan:
No, you're a joke to me, Harry! You have no idea what we do around here!
Bill Watts:
That's enough, Horrigan!
Sargent:
You call me Harry one more time, you'll be busting counterfeiters in Alaska! You keep him away from the president, away from the White House, and you sure as hell better keep him away from me!
Watts:
Don't talk to the White House Chief of Staff like that.
Horrigan:
I don't work for him.
Watts:
No, you work for me. At least you did. You're off my detail.
