"I have the results of the employee morale survey. The number one issue is 'not enough open and honest communication from management.' Well, okay, I'm willing to give that a try." (to Wally) Management is looting the company while hiding the fact that we're in a death spiral. (to Alice) Whenever you talk, I think about my fishing lures until the noise stops. (to all) When I see an employee suffer, it excites me in ways I don't understand. (to Wally) On nine separate occasions, I've fired bald guys because I thought they were you. (to all) If this doesn't work for you, let me know on the next employee morale survey.

Avery: What was our deal when we first got together? Brutal truth. Remember?
Jerry: I think you added the "brutal."
Look, I'm just being honest. That excuses me from empathy or tact, right?
I tell the truth. It's what I do. It doesn't make me a bad doctor. Everyone walks around this place lying. We tell a patient who's dying that there's hope when there is no hope. Maybe I'm a pig. Maybe I'm an ass. Maybe I'm a vermin like everybody says. But I tell the truth. It's the only thing I got going for me, and you don't get to take that away and call it a lesson. Sir.
— Alex, to Dr. Burke, Grey's Anatomy
''Wow! This tastes Awful!"
— Teddie, upon eating Chie's awful omelette, Persona 4
