Norm Quote #271
Quote from Norm in The Executive's Executioner
Norm: Look at me, I'm dry as a bone.
Diane: Do you know what's happening to you, Norman? You're becoming callous and hard.
Norm: Yeah, I know. Give me the phone and a beer.
Sam: What are you doing?
Norm: Quitting. I'm calling Mr. Simpson and telling him I'm resigning. I'm going to let the bosses do their own dirty work for a change.
Diane: Good man.
Norm: [on the phone] Mr. Simpson? This is Norm Peterson, sir. We really have to have a little- Hello? He screamed and hung up. I'll try him again. [on the phone] Yes, is this Mr Simpson's secretary? Hi, this is Norm Peterson. We seem to have been- Hello? Hello?
Sam: You see what's happening here, don't you?
Norm: Yeah. This is amazing. Why don't I just give Mr. Hecht a little call? You know, it was his scheme to begin with. Why don't I tell him how good the little plan is going? [on the phone] Mr. Hecht, this is Norm Peterson. [evil laugh]

Quote from Norm
Norm: Oh, my God! That's my boss. He saw me slip out early. He's come here to find me.
Diane: You got here the same time you always do.
Norm: I know. I always leave early. I refuse to be one of those little, cowardly clock-watchers, Diane. As soon as my supervisor turns his head, I always slip out the heating duct.
Diane: How would he know you're here?
Norm: The company's full of spies. They know everything about you.
Diane: Really?
Norm: Yeah, they know everything about you. They even keep track of your sex habits. Thank God I don't have any.
Quote from Norm
Mr. Hecht: Peterson, we've been making some organizational changes in the company. And starting tomorrow, we want you to be our corporate killer.
Norm: The guy who fires people?
Mr. Hecht: That's right. You see, we decided that terminating employees puts too much stress on our executives. We think you'll be perfect.
Norm: Why me?
Mr. Hecht: Because studies have shown that it's particularly humiliating when you're fired by somebody who is clearly and markedly superior to yourself. And that just wouldn't be the case with you, Norman. You see, you're just an ordinary Joe. As a matter of fact, we checked out your home life. You have absolutely nothing anyone could possibly envy or resent.
Norm: I'm honored, sir. But this sounds like a horrible job, frankly.
Mr. Hecht: It's a 300% raise and if you don't take it, you're fired.
Norm: Sir, I will have you know that I cannot be bought and I cannot be threatened, but you put the two together and I'm your man.
