Words from the fired.
-
How did you know it’s me?
-
This is your dedicated line（专线）. We reserve them for our most loyal and appreciated（尊敬的） flyers.
-
I’d like to transfer some of my miles. Can I open up an account（开户） to Jim and Julie Miller?
-
Certainly. How many miles would you like to transfer?
-
How many miles does it take to circle the globe?
-
We have our round-the-world tickets（环球票）. They’re 500,000 miles each.
-
Got a second（有空吗）?
-
I’ll call you back.（给你回话）
-
What the hell happened to you yesterday? I was trying to get hold of you all day.
-
I was… some personal stuff（私事）. What’s going on?
-
Do you remember Karen Barnes, part of a 30-person reduction a few weeks back in Wichita? Natalie fired her.
-
I fire dozens of people a day.
-
She killed herself, jumped off a bridge.
-
You don’t remember any woman that gave you any signals? Anything at all, Ryan?
-
No, nothing stands out.（没什么特别）
-
I need to know if you remember any woman that gave you any signals, depression（抑郁）
-
Natalie quit.
-
Text message. Yeah, fucking nice, right? No one’s got any manners anymore.（真没礼貌）
-
She said where she was going?
-
I should give her a call.
-
I need you back in the air.
-
Hey, did you hear what I said? I thought you’d be thrilled（兴奋） about that.
-
It was fine. What about the video conferencing?（视频会议）
-
How long are you sending me out?（派遣）
-
We’re gonna let you sail and sail（乘飞机航行）. You send us a postcard if you ever get there.
-
How exactly do you mean?
-
You graduated top of your class. You seemed to have your pick of employment（随意选择工作）, including right here. Instead you went to Omaha to fire people for a living?
-
It’s challenging work.
-
I’ll say. I can’t imagine doing that day in, day out. Not in this climate.（在这种情况下）
-
I followed a boy.
-
To whom it may concern, I can’t even count the number of people I’ve fired in my lifetime. So many that I’ve actually forgotten what it’s like to hire somebody. We’ve never met, but I know you’d be lucky to have Natalie Keener.
-
My advice? Take her and don’t look back（犹豫）. She’ll be the best decision you’ve made in a long time.
-
Well, I don’t have a lot of hope, and I really don’t know when it’s gonna get better. There’s a lot of people unemployed, and I really don’t know when there’s gonna be light at the end of the tunnel.
-
I can’t find much to talk about（不知道该说什么）. Talk about being proud. I’m proud of my kids.
-
Let me get up. Let me get out. Let me find something. So, my kids are my purpose, my family.
-
Tonight most people will be welcomed home by jumping dogs and squealing（叽叽喳喳） kids. Their spouses will ask about their day, and tonight they’ll sleep.
-
The stars will wheel forth（出现） from their daytime hiding places. And one of those lights, slightly brighter than the rest, will be my wingtip passing over.（路过）
