• [John is in Thomas' office for being late and for Ted damaging one of the rental cars] 

  Thomas : John, it's almost 10:00.

  John : I know, sir. I'm sorry, it wasn't my fault.

  Thomas : What do you mean?

  John : Why? I, I guess I wasn't really prepared for a follow-up question.

  Thomas : John, all you got to do is to not fuck up, and you get my job when I go to Corporate next month. You're the new branch manager. All you got to do is not fuck up.

  John : I realize that.

  Thomas : Good. Glad to hear. Because in a month, my life could be your life. A cushy, $38,000 a year branch manager who is personal friends with Tom Skeritt? Not a bad life, is it?

  John : No.

  Thomas : [Taps desk]  Let me show you something that I don't like to show people, because I don't want them treating me differently.

  [Pulls out a picture frame from his top drawer] 

  Thomas : Lo, that's me and Skeritt.

  John : Wow.

  Thomas : Goddamn right, wow.

  [Places picture frame back in drawer] 

  Thomas : I'm gonna dock you for dinging the car and for showing up late, okay? Try to be a little more responsible tomorrow.

  John : I will, sir. I promise.

  [as Thomas writes the disciplinary report, John points at him with both hands] 

  John : [Impersonating Tom Skeritt]  Not gonna let you down, Goose.

  Thomas : What?

  John : Top Gun.

  Thomas : So?

  John : Tom Skeritt.

  Thomas : I know that. Get out of here, okay?

  John : Thank you, sir.
