Quotes

  • David Brent: I don't give shitty jobs. If a good man comes to me and says, "thank you, David, for the opportunity and continued support in the work-related arena, but I've done that, I want to better meself, I want to move on," then I can make that dream come true, too, a.k.a. for you. The point is: you talk the talk, you do not walk the walk -- vis-a-vis, you have not yet passed your forklift driver's test.
  • David Brent: Sammy, you old slag. It's the Brentmeister general. Have you advertised for the forklift driver's job? No? Good, don't bother. I've got the man here. He's perfec'. Has he passed his forklift driver's test? He gives the tests. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's first aid trained, yeah. We'll get a C.V. over to you this afternoon. I'm seeing you Sunday, aren't I? For my sins? How is Elaine? She left you yet? ... Yep, alright, see you then. (Hangs up the phone) She has left him. I forgot about that.
