“Okay, we all remember this one, don’t we? The First National heist. Sure, we’d like to forget it, but let’s ask ourselves, what did I do then that I wouldn’t do now?”
“I think the fact that profits have only declined by 40 percent since out incarceration augers well for renewed growth, possibly by early ’14, or, failing that, the holiday rush. Just because we’re in prison doesn’t mean that we should stop thinking about Christmas.”
““As Eddie’s revisions of Von Neumann’s original equations demonstrate, informers do serve shorter prison sentences in every variation of the prisoner’s game. Of course, that’s because they’re dead. In other words, if you talk you drop.”
“Sales of Edith’s plastic shiv have simply not met expectations. The new Shur-Grip handle may turn things around, but that’s far from a given. Do people get stabbed in the shower any more? I simply don’t know.”
“Look at the numbers. This Heisenberg guy is killing us. I want new ideas, and I want them now.”
“Let’s get this straight. We are still a firm, and we are still in business. We are an advertising firm, and we have one client, and his name is Warden Oliver Jenkins. When you wake up in the morning, I want you to be thinking ‘What can I do today to make Warden Jenkins happy?’ And when you go to bed at night, I want you to be able to name five things you did that made Warden Jenkins happy.”
“Granted, sales have taken a beating, but the street cred we’re incurring will be fantastic once we’re back on the block. I’ve arranged for matching gang tats, and I want them to be amazing. Edith, I’m definitely looking at you for this one.”
“Market penetration has been in free fall since Officer Manson was transferred. If we can’t get to the guards we can’t get past them, and Edith simply isn’t getting the job done with Papparelli, so, Henderson, I’m asking you to take over. And don’t be afraid to be bold.”
“Figures don’t lie, folks. Market penetration has dropped like a stone since the recent, unfortunate demise of Crazy Eddie. We need a new enforcer, and we need one now.”
