Quote from Carla in How to Recede in Business

Sam: I'm going to tell her to take her stupid job back. I don't want it anymore.
Carla: Wait a minute, Sam. Aren't you missing something here?
Sam: What?
Carla: You desperately want to jump this woman's bones, right?
Sam: Sure.
Carla: And you've just arranged something for her that she wants more than anything else in the world.
Sam: So?
Carla: Don't you see a connection between those two things? [Sam stares blankly] Breaks your heart, doesn't it? You tell Rebecca that you loved being the manager, but you couldn't stand to see her being so miserable, so you got her her job back. Next thing you know, she'll be doing the backstroke on your water bed.
Sam: Carla, I'm shocked.
Carla: Why, 'cause you didn't think of it first?
Sam: Yeah. I mean, I must be losing it.

Quote from Rebecca

Sam: Sweetheart, what happened?
Rebecca: I just had to knock on my own office door.
Sam: Honey, l- l'm so sorry. I swear to God I didn't want this to happen.
Rebecca: I know. It's not your fault. I know why it happened. Because I'm a loser. I always have been, and I always will be a big old, fat, old, stupid loser.
Sam: No, you're not a loser. Don't say that, you hear me? You are not a loser.
Rebecca: Okay.
Sam: You have a barrette for this, or something?
