Eavesdropping 4

BITS OF CONVERSATION OVERHEARD AROUND HAMILTON page 3

I’m just waiting with bated breath for Colby to be back. But not Richard!

So why isn’t John back? Do you think the lie he told about his grandmother did it?

I’m 54, so I’ve got my time in, but for a young guy like you, watch out.

In 5 years, they’ll be able to peel back and draw in from the outside. You need sales training to cut through the crap.

We can get rid of 1200 people tomorrow and still make money.

If you don’t bring in money, we don’t care – get the heck out!

Behind all the little advisors are big problems. They’re saying to the advisors, if you don’t have 200,000, we don’t need you.

Their profit margin is huge compared to any others – no overhead, bigger bonuses, the rest.

A buyout for me is just a way for me to do something I want to do.

I can sit on the income, but I can’t allow myself to go down the hole. I like competition, I like success.

I went to this club at age 13, and I looked wicked. My aunt went with me.

On my nineteenth birthday, my sister takes me to this club, and they were attacking us. They were the biggest perverts.

John was freaked out on these wacko pills, drank a litre of coke. As a friend he is OK, but overweight.

Close to the end when things started going bad, Jason started hanging out with this really scummy woman.

Natalie like had this old boyfriend – and he had two or three other girls at the same time.

She’s got a bad habit. She says she can’t hear me, and she keeps walking.

Friendship game, consolation game – same thing. You’re out of the running.

I’m coffee’d out, but I gotta have something on the bench.

It’s too bad we didn’t videotape the team at its first game. They were so bad. It would be great to have that tape.

- You have to set priorities – dribbling, lay-ups.
- Ya!

By a certain age, if you haven’t fixed it, it’s too late, you’re outta luck.

I told her that I’m a stalker and that I’m watching her.

I was just getting out of the tub, and the phone rang and no one was there. I knew it was Denton.

Take your ritolin. You know she’s seeing a psychiatrist.

- Can I have a piece of that, yo?
- Stop shaking the friggin table.

Has anyone ever told you that you have a zit?

- She’s only 12. I’m thirteen, but she’s smart.
- I’m not smart, I’m just in Extended French.

Dundas is pretty much the same now as then if you walk up and down Park Street.

He used to go skeet shooting – with Mike Harris!.
