Brad:
[reading Lester's job description] "My job consists of basically masking my contempt for the a**holes in charge, and, at least once a day, retiring to the men's room so I can jerk off while I fantasize about a life that doesn't so closely resemble Hell." Well, you have absolutely no interest in saving yourself.

Lester:
Brad, for 14 years I've been a whore for the advertising industry. The only way I could save myself now is if I start firebombing.

Brad:
Whatever. Management wants you gone by the end of the day.

Lester:
Well, just what sort of severance package is management prepared to offer me? Considering the information I have about our Editorial Director buying p*ssy with company money - which, I think, would interest the I.R.S., since it technically constitutes fraud; and I'm sure that some of our advertisers and rival publications might like to know about it as well. Not to mention, [grins] Craig's wife!

Brad:
What do you want?

Lester:
One year's salary, with benefits.

Brad:
That's not going to happen.

Lester:
Well, what do you say I throw in a little sexual harassment charge, to boot?

Brad:
[chuckles in disbelief] Against who?

Lester:
[he chuckles right back] Against YOU. Can you prove that you didn't offer to save my job if I let you blow me?

Brad:
Man, you are one twisted f***.

Lester:
Nope; I'm just an ordinary guy with nothing to lose.
