Sally: Dick, wait, we need to talk about this. I am second in command here, and I have no authority over these guys.
Dick: You outrank them. Just seize control, take some initiative.
Sally: All right, permission requested to schedule initiative-taking.
Dick: Just do it. Take the car and fix the phone. What would you do if I wasn't here?
Sally: You're always here.
Dick: Well, what if I wasn't? [exits]
Sally: I'd do a happy little dance.
