Quote from Michael Scott in Broke
Michael Scott: How much can we afford to pay a delivery guy? Finance Guy: Well, if these numbers are correct- Michael Scott: They are correct, sir. Finance Guy: Then you can't afford to pay him anything. Michael Scott: Okay. A lame attempt at humor. Swing and a miss. Finance Guy: Your prices are too low. Michael Scott: Lowest in town. Finance Guy: Why do you think Staples and Dunder Mifflin can't match your prices? Pam: Corporate greed? Ryan: Look, our pricing model is fine. I reviewed the numbers myself. Over time with enough volume, we become profitable. Finance Guy: Yeah, with a fixed cost pricing model, that's correct. But you need to use a variable cost pricing model. Michael Scott: Okay, sure. Right. So... Why don't you explain what that is to- So they can under - Explain what that is. Ryan: Explain what you think that is. Michael Scott: Just explain it.
