Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead - Miscommunication Among Coworkers in the Office
Carolyn: [to the person on the phone; takes another call; gives Sue Ellen an annoyed look; she stands up and glares at Sue Ellen]
Hold. Reception. Well, I can't right now. I have to stay and redirect all the incompetents who are coming up here instead of going straight down to personnel like they are supposed to. All right, all right, all right, all right. You'll have about 12 seconds. I'll be right there. You... are supposed to go down... to personnel. That is on the first... floor. There's a great big sign that says... personnel. Do.. you... under... stand?
Sue Ellen:
Yeah.
Rose: [walks up]
Where's Carolyn? Mouse brown hair, gives ya a headache.
Sue Ellen:
Talks like she's chewing her face?
Rose:
That's her.
Sue Ellen:
She'll be back in a few seconds.

Gattaca - The Ethics of Genetic Perfection
Geneticist:
You have specified hazel eyes, dark hair and fair skin. I've taken the liberty of eradicating any potentially prejudicial conditions. Premature baldness, myopia... alcoholism and addictive susceptibility... propensity for violence, obesity, etc.
Marie Freeman: [looks at Antonio]
We didn't want... Diseases, yes, but--
Antonio Freeman:
We were just wondering if it's good to leave a few things to chance?
Geneticist:
We want to give your child the best possible start. Believe me, we have enough imperfection built in already. Your child doesn't need any more additional burdens. Keep in mind, this child is still you. Simply the best of you. You could conceive naturally a thousand times and never get such a result.
