 * 3. You Are What You Eat. **

//Nigel: (After Andy spills the clam chowder on her sweater) Oh never mind. I’m sure there’s more poly blend where that came from.// //Andy: I don’t know what else I can do, because if I do something right, it’s unacknowledged, she doesn’t even say thank you. But if I do something wrong? She is vicious.// //Nigel: So quit.// //Nigel: What?// //Andy: Quit. I can get another girl to take your job in 5 minutes.// //Miranda: I need 10 or 15 skirts from Calvin Klein.// //Andy: What kind of skirts.// //Miranda: Please bore someone else with your…questions.// //Andy: I have exciting presents for all of you!//

 * 9. Always Bring Your Best Ideas To Work. **

 * 11. Sometimes Your Boss Is Going To Be RIDICULOUS. **

This is an extra copy to have on file. You know, just in case.// //Miranda: Well where are these fabulous copies? I don’t see them anywhere.// //Andy: They’re with the twins, now on the train on their way to grandma’s. Is there anything else I can do for you?// //Miranda: (Speechless). That’s all.//
