Phil: I suppose we could use the 20 terahertz oscillator.
Lem: But doesn't that burn through flesh?

I don't want to insult the guy. If only there were a nice way to say, "You're killing me, you energy-sucking time gobbler."

Ted: Yes, it does.
Lem: It's Broasting Day in the cafeteria. It'll give us another chance to figure out what broasting is.
Phil: Well, I do want to get to the bottom of that. Okay, we'll have lunch. I just hope "broasting" is not a typo, like that butter crotch pudding.
If you want to get the company off this, you have to show them that this new pace will cost them money. Because the company loves its money. If they could, they'd go to strip clubs and throw naked women at money.
