wingedbeastMr. Rhineheart: You have a problem with authority, Mr. Anderson. You believe that you are special, that somehow the rules do not apply to you. Obviously you are mistaken. This company is one of the top software companies in the world because every single employee understands that they are part of a whole. Thus if an employee has a problem, the company has a problem. The time has come to make a choice, Mr. Anderson. Either you choose to be at your desk on time from this day forward or you choose to find yourself another job. Do I make myself clear?
Neo: Yes, Mr. Rhineheart, perfectly clear.
Mr. Rhineheart: Good. Now, I have a conference call.
Neo: Yes, Mr. Rhineheart.
Neo leaves.
Mr. Rhineheart picks up the phone: It's done. You can get me out.
Mr. Rhineheart opens his eyes from the Matrix interface.
Bill Lumbergh: Yeah, you're going to have to stay still while I get you unhitched.
Dean Strickland: YOu did good with what you had.
Mr. Rhineheart: I don't think I got through to him.
Dean Strickland: It takes a lot of repetition to get through to these slackers.
Mr. Rhineheart: It would be so much easier if they knew the truth, so we could at least be taken seriously.
Bill Lumbergh: I know what you mean. If people understood how essential TPS reports are to the freeing of humanity. Yeah.
Dean Strickland: Can't do that. Most people aren't ready to be awakened to the truth of the Matrix. They all have amazing potential, but if they don't stop slacking off and start putting solid effort into being a part of something greater, then they'll never be a part of the force that will defeat the Machines and free humanity from The Matrix.
Mr. Rhineheart: I understand, I can still complain. Besides, if we could only make it more apparent how important this all really is.
Dean Strickland: No can do. Make it too important and the Agents catch wise. Besides, we need warriors, not hotshot fighters. Fighters fight the fight. But, wars are won on logistics, people doing hard work that isn't exciting, isn't fun, doesn't make for great stories, and, whether it deserves it or not, doesn't get thanks.
Bill Lumbergh: But, does get you a reputation for being a stickler for seemingly unimportant rules, yeah.
Mr. Rhineheart steps up from the Matrix interface and Bill Lumbergh steps in.
Dean Strickland: You think I don't want to tell McFly that he's got what it takes to be a top-notch logistical engineer, a field that might win humanity its freedom? No, we're all frustrated. But, we gotta do what we gotta do.
Bill Lumbergh: And, yeah, that means working weekends because we lost people to the machinations of The Bobs. *shudders* You're gonna have to put me in.
Neo: Yes, Mr. Rhineheart, perfectly clear.
Mr. Rhineheart: Good. Now, I have a conference call.
Neo: Yes, Mr. Rhineheart.
