A random film quote : "This is not Sweet-N-Low. This is Equal. Blue packet. Sweet-N-Low is pink. See? Equal: blue. Sweet-N-Low: pink. It's not the same thing, is it?...What Equal contains is not my concern here. I don't care if it has f--kin' fairy dust in it. What I am concerned with is detail. I asked you to go get me a packet of Sweet-N-Low. You bring me back Equal. That isn't what I asked for. That isn't what I wanted. That isn't what I needed and that s--t isn't gonna work around here...You thought. Do me a f--kin' favor. Shut up, listen, and learn. Look, I know that this is your first day and you don't really know how things work around here, so I will tell you. You - have - no - brain. No judgment calls are necessary. What you think means nothing. What you feel means nothing. You are here for me. You are here to protect my interests and to serve my needs. So, while it may look like a little thing to you, when I ask for a packet of Sweet-N-Low, that's what I want. And it is your responsibility now to see that I get what I want. Am I clear?"
