Words from the fired.
-
How did you know it’s me?
-
This is your dedicated line(专线). We reserve them for our most loyal and appreciated(尊敬的) flyers.
-
I’d like to transfer some of my miles. Can I open up an account(开户) to Jim and Julie Miller?
-
Certainly. How many miles would you like to transfer?
-
How many miles does it take to circle the globe?
-
We have our round-the-world tickets(环球票). They’re 500,000 miles each.
-
Got a second(有空吗)?
-
I’ll call you back.(给你回话)
-
What the hell happened to you yesterday? I was trying to get hold of you all day.
-
I was… some personal stuff(私事). What’s going on?
-
Do you remember Karen Barnes, part of a 30-person reduction a few weeks back in Wichita? Natalie fired her.
-
I fire dozens of people a day.
-
She killed herself, jumped off a bridge.
-
You don’t remember any woman that gave you any signals? Anything at all, Ryan?
-
No, nothing stands out.(没什么特别)
-
I need to know if you remember any woman that gave you any signals, depression(抑郁)
-
Natalie quit.
-
Text message. Yeah, fucking nice, right? No one’s got any manners anymore.(真没礼貌)
-
She said where she was going?
-
I should give her a call.
-
I need you back in the air.
-
Hey, did you hear what I said? I thought you’d be thrilled(兴奋) about that.
-
It was fine. What about the video conferencing?(视频会议)
-
How long are you sending me out?(派遣)
-
We’re gonna let you sail and sail(乘飞机航行). You send us a postcard if you ever get there.
-
How exactly do you mean?
-
You graduated top of your class. You seemed to have your pick of employment(随意选择工作), including right here. Instead you went to Omaha to fire people for a living?
-
It’s challenging work.
-
I’ll say. I can’t imagine doing that day in, day out. Not in this climate.(在这种情况下)
-
I followed a boy.
-
To whom it may concern, I can’t even count the number of people I’ve fired in my lifetime. So many that I’ve actually forgotten what it’s like to hire somebody. We’ve never met, but I know you’d be lucky to have Natalie Keener.
-
My advice? Take her and don’t look back(犹豫). She’ll be the best decision you’ve made in a long time.
-
Well, I don’t have a lot of hope, and I really don’t know when it’s gonna get better. There’s a lot of people unemployed, and I really don’t know when there’s gonna be light at the end of the tunnel.
-
I can’t find much to talk about(不知道该说什么). Talk about being proud. I’m proud of my kids.
-
Let me get up. Let me get out. Let me find something. So, my kids are my purpose, my family.
-
Tonight most people will be welcomed home by jumping dogs and squealing(叽叽喳喳) kids. Their spouses will ask about their day, and tonight they’ll sleep.
-
The stars will wheel forth(出现) from their daytime hiding places. And one of those lights, slightly brighter than the rest, will be my wingtip passing over.(路过)
