To whom it may concern, I can't begin to count the number of people I've fired in my lifetime.
Protocol's always tricky.

Bingo, Asians. They pack light, travel efficiently, and they have a thing for slip on shoes. Gotta love 'em.

Sometimes it feels like, no matter how much success I have, it's not gonna matter until I find the right guy.

Then you start adding larger stuff, clothes, table-top appliances, lamps, linens, your TV.
Only this time, I want you to fill it with people.

It doesn't work that way. At a certain point, you stop with the dead lines. It can be a little counter productive.
In fact, let everything burn and imagine waking up tomorrow with nothing.
Someone who wants kids, likes kids. Healthy enough to play with his kids.

Our business expense allots forty dollars each for dinner. I plan on grabbing as many miles as I can.

You get lifetime executive status. You get to meet the chief pilot, Maynard Finch.
You know, honestly by the time you're 34, all the physical requirements just go out the window.
I don't want to say anything that is anti-feminist. I really appreciate everything that your generation did for me.

Tonight most people will be welcomed home by jumping dogs and squeling kids and thousands more will ask about their day and tonight they'll sleep.
Please let him earn more money than I do, you might not understand that now but believe me, you will one day otherwise that's a recipe for disaster.
Some animals were meant to carry each other, to live symbiotically for a lifetime - star crossed lovers, monogamous swans.
Yes, it was pretty lonely.

Now I want you to pack it with all the stuff that you have in your life.
Wow. That was depressing.

Old people are worse. Their bodies are littered with hidden metal and they never seem to appreciate how little time they have left.
Electricity still on? Heat still on? Refrigerator still full of food? Gas tank full of gas?
If you think about it, your favorite memories, the most important moments in your life... were you alone?
Okay, you got to fill me in on the miles thing. What is that about? You're talking about, like, frequent flyer miles?
The things on shelves and in drawers, the knick-knacks, the collectibles.
I... followed a boy.

The stars will wheel forth from their daytime hiding places; and one of those lights, slightly brighter than the rest, will be my wingtip passing over.

You're so pretty. You're exactly what I want to look like in fifteen years.
I thought we signed up for the same thing... I thought our relationship was perfectly clear.
Start with casual acquaintances, friends of friends, folks around the office, and then you move into the people that you trust with your most intimate secrets.
You secretly pray that he'll be taller than you, not an asshole would be nice just someone who enjoys my company, comes from a good family.
You graduated top of your class. You could have had your pick of employment, including right here.
I don't spend a nickel, if I can help it, unless it somehow profits my mileage account.
You know that moment when you look into somebody's eyes and you can feel them staring into your soul and the whole world goes quiet just for a second?
And hopefully, some hair on his head. I mean, that's not even a deal breaker these days.
Your cousins, your aunts, your uncles, your brothers, your sisters, your parents and finally your husband, your wife, your boyfriend or your girlfriend.
In a perfect world, he drives a 4 runner and the only thing he loves more than me is his golden lab.
How do you sleep at night? How's your family? They sleeping well at night?
You start with the little things.

Yeah, Julie went back to the apartment, and I was just by myself in the honeymoon suite.

My advice? Take her and don't look back. She'll be the best decision you've made in a long time.
You are an escape. You're a break from our normal lives. You're a parenthesis.
